At first blush, any attempt at copious Black Friday shopping without cash or credit might sound akin to baking a cake without flour ... and eggs ... and an oven.

But for Chicago's Josh Stevens -- the winner of Groupon's contest to survive a year using nothing but the website's discount vouchers as currency -- it's time to cook up some tasty ideas. Good thing that Stevens, 28, is an accountant who is used to juggling numbers to make them work. But a bean counter without any actual beans to count? What's a Black Friday shopper to do?

Accept the challenge, that's what.
