## How to Search for Deals

### Method 1: Web Search (Recommended)

Use web search with targeted queries:

```
site:groupon.com {service} {city}
```

**Examples:**
- `site:groupon.com oil change Austin`
- `site:groupon.com massage near me San Francisco`
- `site:groupon.com yoga classes Chicago`
- `site:groupon.com Solidcore Los Angeles`

### Method 2: Direct Groupon URLs

Navigate directly to Groupon's local pages using this URL pattern:

```
https://www.groupon.com/local/{city-slug}/{category-slug}
```

**City slugs:** Use lowercase, replace spaces with hyphens
- New York → `new-york`
- Los Angeles → `los-angeles`  
- San Francisco → `san-francisco`
- Washington DC → `washington-dc`

**Examples:**
- All deals in Austin: `https://www.groupon.com/local/austin`
- Spa deals in Chicago: `https://www.groupon.com/local/chicago/beauty-and-spas`
- Auto services in Houston: `https://www.groupon.com/local/houston/automotive`
