Like a high-school football game, laundry day forces otherwise fashionable people to don ill-fitting pants, cutoff shirts, and mascot heads. Tackle your hamper with this Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of wash-and-fold laundry service at Missing Sock Laundry. Missing Sock Laundry offers free delivery in the NW/Peal neighborhood, $10 delivery within Portland, and $20 delivery to the suburbs (Groupon value not valid toward delivery fees).
Missing Sock Laundry’s staffers deftly cleanse clothes of dirt and grime using environmentally friendly materials. Customers drop off laundry and can either return later for pickup or arrange an at-home drop-off, freeing up precious time for careful observation of definitely living lawn gnomes. Regular laundry service ($1.50/lb.) restores most fabrics to immaculate form, and down-filled items ($3.50/lb.) receive special attention to maintain their signature fluffiness. Comforters and sleeping bags ($20 each) also undergo careful cleaning after being soiled by mud-wrestler roommates. Missing Sock Laundry's eco-friendly soap lifts away dirt without bruising nature with unsafe chemicals, and high-efficiency washers and dryers conserve water and electricity that can be later used to build a working hydroelectric dam.

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
