Before photography, the only way people could preserve their most treasured memories was by forcing everyone around them to stand completely still for days at a time. Today's Groupon presents a less complicated option: for $15, you get $30 worth of custom digital-picture collages from ScrapWalls. Though shipping is not included in today's deal, Groupon holders can get a flat rate of $5.99.
Using unique autoplacement software, ScrapWalls can effortlessly craft custom collages using treasured photos. Customers begin by selecting and customizing a design pattern, choosing from more than 25 shape templates, that include heart, football, and four-leaf-clover silhouettes. After pics are digitally uploaded, ScrapWalls's software will automatically fit photos into the template without any gaps or overlapping, and then images can be rearranged according to your preference. Using high-quality District Photo printing services, collages can be transposed onto four different poster sizes ($14.99–$29.99), as well as flat and folded greeting cards. ScrapWalls's collages can accommodate up to 300 images, can be shared online, and can celebrate myriad magic moments from engagements and graduations to placing in a toilet-seat-tossing competition.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
