Walking backward while talking is useful for leading a tour, demonstrating a moonwalk, or retreating from a room full of ominously staring toddlers. See the reverse saunter put to good use with today's Groupon: for $79, you get your choice of either the Taste of Downtown or Taste of Mission Hills walking food tours for two from A Taste of San Diego (a $150 value). Both tours commence at 3 p.m. The downtown tour lights off from the corner of 6th Avenue and J Street on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Mission Hills tour takes off from the corner of Washington and Falcon Streets on Sundays.
A Taste of San Diego's informed guides shepherd epicurean explorers through the city's most delectable undiscovered nosheries during walking and driving food tours. Navigate 16–18 blocks and five restaurants on the three-hour Taste of Downtown tour, during which you'll nibble artisanal breads and cheeses, along with a variety of local cuisine from the Mediterranean, Asia, and Mexico. The tour focuses on charming neighborhood diners and encourages people to wander off the wax-paper-wrapped path of the downtown draw. Those seeking architectural opulence on their gastronomical voyage can opt for the Taste of Mission Hills tour. The journey winds through a handful of restaurants in 2.5 hours, as well as stunning structures from the early 20th century, an idyllic era when all homes were fashioned from baguettes and olive oil.
Dishes from both tours can be accompanied by additions of either beer and wine (Taste of Downtown; $20/person not included in the Groupon value) or a wine-tasting pairing (Taste of Mission Hills; $25/person not included in the Groupon value). Guests should neglect any at-home noshing prior to the tour, ensuring empty bellies ready to be cosseted by the tour's innumerable tastes, complimentary water, and dessert.

The Groupon Guide to: Running a Successful Lemonade Stand
Ever since juice makers learned how to concoct lemonade entirely out of the light yellow liquid oozing from greek yogurt, the world's supply of lemons has grown, and more people have opened lemonade stands. Here's how you can make more money manning a juice station:
- Create an attention-grabbing sign by spelling "lemonade" with strawberry jam and letting ants crawl over it to make the letters look like they're in motion.
- Make your customers feel at home by yelling at them when they make eye contact with you.
- Offer a two-for-one deal—for every two cups of lemonade you buy, you have to supply one digit of your ATM PIN.
- Serve a dozen people at once by running over entire bags of lemons with a lawn mower, catching the fluid in an inflatable pool, and giving patrons permission to stick out their tongue while they swim.
- Ensure customers return by creating a loyalty program, which rewards customers with an occasional free drink as long as they agree to add you to their living will.
