Make sure you check out the Groupon Deals today (Monday, September 13) because they are more than just a good deal – today they help a good cause, and remember since they are online deals, it doesn’t matter where you live,  you can still purchase the deal.

Erin from Coupon Cravings has put together a Groupon fundraiser to help support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.  A baby boy in her neighborhood named Declan Carmical recently lost his six-month battle with brain cancer, a week and a half before his first birthday. As a mother, my heart aches for this family since I can’t even imagine losing a child.

Today when you buy a Groupon deal through Saving Cents with Sense, 8% of each Groupon sold goes to the family to support their and their efforts to fight pediatric cancer.

Here are the best online deals today (Thanks, Mrs. Moneysaver!):

  • Chicago (More Deals Nearby)- If you’re in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Chicagoland, Milwaukee, or S.E. Wisconsin with Peapod delivery service available, then this is a bargain for you! Peapod is a service that does your grocery shopping for you and delivers it right to your door. New Peapod customers can get 2 $30 grocery vouchers from Peapod for just $30 (50% savings!) today, though delivery fees will cost you extra. Check to see if Peapod delivers to your area here by looking under New Customer, selecting “home”, and entering your zip code.
  • Dallas (Deal Nearby)- This would be a great gift idea for someone who loves Fantasy Football! AccuScore.com, a leading sports forecasting company, is offering a one-month membership for just $25- a discount of 81%!
  • Washington DC (Another Deal Nearby)- Get $40 worth of brownie gifts from Fairytale Brownies for just $20. The Groupon can be applied toward shipping. (Beginning in September when the weather cools a bit, shipping across the US will be $6.95.)
  • Austin- Get $20 worth of sweets from madCakes for $10. Shipping is not included.
  • Los Angeles (Deal Nearby)- This is a neat idea if you have pictures you want to preserve digitally. For $75, ScanMyPhotos.com will send you a pre-paid box that holds about 2,000. You can fill the box with the pictures you want scanned, and follow the instructions to ensure they’re scanned in an order that works for you. You’ll send the box back to ScanMyPhotos.com, and they’ll scan and convert all your pictures to digital .jpeg files, and send you a DVD of the photos to boot. This service usually cost nearly $200, so today’s Groupon deal offers you a savings of 62%.
  • Orange County (Side Deal)- Get 2 reusable drying cleaning bags from The Green Garmento for $10.
  • New York (Another Deal Nearby)- Pick out $25 worth of teas from Talbott Teas for $10. The Groupon can be used toward shipping.
  • Boston (Deal Nearby)- Get a panoramic wall mural (over 2,000 pictures to pick from!) from LTL Prints for just $35 today, with free shipping included.
  • North Jersey- Snag $75 worth of wine from Wine Insiders for just $25. The Groupon can be used toward shipping and tax. Bottles begin at $9.99. We’ve ordered two of these Groupons in the past few months when featured in different cities, and have been very happy with their selection and ordering process.

Enjoy the deals and remember you are helping a great cause today!
