$4 for a One-Day Admission to Junk Bonanza ($8 Value)
Unlike a new puppy, a vintage knick-knack is already broken in, has had time to establish its pedigree, and is almost always housetrained. Save on obedience training with today’s Groupon: for $4, you get a one-day admission to the Junk Bonanza (an $8 value) on Friday, September 16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Junk Bonanza returns for a sixth year with more than 130 juried vendors who stack, shine, and assemble vintage finds, antique wares, art, and handcrafted curios at an indoor exhibition. Savvy shoppers peruse oddities such as beer-sign-adorned end tables, evaluate unique skirt fabrics, and decide, after viewing repurposed-object artwork, to finally have a go at turning that old typewriter into an ottoman. Traditional thrift fare, such as gently used or vintage clothing, mingles with antique furniture, and together they size up the new kids on the block—vendor-made tchotchkes such as Scrabble-tile magnets, quilted aprons, and felted handbags. Patrons can also enter to rack up discounts in the Do You Feel Lucky drawings, which grants coupons for a variety of merchants starting at $50. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?

$15 for a VIP Wine Tasting for Two with Glasses at Glacial Ridge Winery in Spicer ($30 Value)
Like Mike Tyson, wine is usually robust, often boxed, and should never influence tattooing decisions. Imbibe the spirit of a champion with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get a VIP wine tasting with glasses for two at Glacial Ridge Winery’s Annual Grape Stomp, noon–7 p.m. on September 10 in Spicer (a $30 value). In celebration of its hearty, handcrafted wines, Glacial Ridge Winery hosts the Annual Grape Stomp amid the five acre apple orchard on its grounds. Duos can flash VIP sipping passports valid for express check-in to receive a pair of personal wine glasses, and saunter up to tasting stations throughout the grounds, where they may each sample 12 of the winery’s specialty flavors, including the denim-overalls varietal. Crafted on-site, these wines range from the complex and smoky Green Lake Girl cabernet and the Sippin’ From a Slipper white wine—a silver medal winner at the 2010 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition—to the sweet Jimmy Appleseed apple wine, which is concocted from a blend of five apples plucked from the on-site apple orchard. In addition to the tasting, the Grape Stomp hosts live music and a grape-stomping contest in which participants team up to plod through buckets of future wine.

$99 for a Photorejuvenation Treatment at Rejuv Skin & Laser Clinic in Eagan ($329 Value)
Much like an automobile, the human body requires proper care to stay healthy and good-looking for calendar photos. Maintain your natural mode of transportation with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a photorejuvenation treatment at Rejuv Skin & Laser Clinic in Eagan (a $329 value). Board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Steven A. Selchow and his trusty staff welcome every patient into the spa-like Rejuv Skin & Laser Clinic office with open communication and state-of-the-art medical service. Prior to each procedure, potential clients receive a complimentary consultation, during which medical history is thoroughly reviewed, issues and potential solutions are addressed, and chosen monologues are performed in front of a live cosmetic studio audience. If deemed appropriate, patients undergo a 30- to 45-minute photorejuvenation , a painless, noninvasive process that employs elos technology to treat broken capillaries and rosacea, reduce benign brown spots and mottled pigmentation, and assuage a summer’s worth of sun damage more effectively than crying on the shoulder of the moon. The light-based technology can reduce a number of the unwanted facial effects of tanning, aging, and smoking in addition to decreasing the appearance of such conditions as telangiectasias, poikiloderma, and angioma.

Dental Checkup or Zoom! Whitening at Boulos Dental Care in Shoreview
Though steel teeth may be less likely to develop cavities, they make airport-security lines and magnet eating nearly impossible to enjoy. Nurture the grill you were given with today’s Groupon: with today’s Groupon to Boulos Dental Care in Shoreview. Choose between the following options: For $59, you get a comprehensive exam (a $74 value), four bitewing x-rays (a $66 value), and a cleaning (a $90 value; a $231 total value). For $199, you get a Zoom! whitening treatment (a $650 value). At Boulos Dental Care, Dr. Samy Boulos and his experienced staff maintain chompers’ health using advanced technology. Visitations begin with a comprehensive oral examination , in which Dr. Samy ventures over mouthscapes to seek out any troublesome signs of oral cancers, tooth decay, or tied tongues. Next, a technician snaps four digital bitewing x-rays to expose teeth’s naughty bits, such as decay lurking beneath the surface. A skilled hygienist then thoroughly bathes tusks in a flurry of floss and foam, sloughing off plaque jackets and removing the evidence of blueberry-bagel crime sprees. Patients can also opt to polish their grin chiclets with the Zoom! whitening treatment . During the treatment, a technician coats fangs in a special light-activated whitening gel. Then, a blue-spectrum LED light triggers molecules inside the gel, safely penetrating the enamel to remove stains and playfully entranced kittens. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
