Armed with nothing but a paper suit made of Groupons, some miscellaneous gadgets and a sleep apnea machine, Josh Stevens began his year of living off Groupons today.
At 9 a.m., Josh was ours – his family and girlfriend turned him in at Groupon’s Chicago offices and the process began. We stole his wallet, stripped him down and gave him his gear.
iPhone with Groupon app loaded – check. (Get our app here.)
Video camera, digital camera, laptop – check, check, check.
Toothbrush, undershirt, poster of David Hasselhoff – ABSOLUTELY NOT.
After saying goodbye, Josh redeemed his first Groupon for a horse-drawn carriage and began his adventure. You can follow Josh’s journey at his official blog, including up-to-the-minute geolocation from Facebook and Twitter. We hear he’s looking for a mani/pedi partner and a paintball team.
We may be smiling now, but we’ll end Josh’s journey in a snap if anyone catches him spending cash. Need to turn him in? Email us at liveoffgroupon@groupon.com.
**Yes, that is a custom-made Groupon suit cut customly from the finest Groupon paper fabric, made custom from natural trees for Groupon. Our tailor is Elyse Perez. She rocks, and we’re happy to give her contact information upon request.
***Sorry, Groupon Suit is one-of-a-kind, though we’re considering limited distribution on Groupoupon.
