Addicted 2 Daily Deal Sites!

One of the things I post about most often is Groupon, a daily deal site that I'm definitely addicted to.  However, since my discovery of Groupon, it seems like daily deal sites just keep popping up all over the place.  So, I though I'd post a round-up of all the daily deal sites I'm currently aware/a member of (I'll post an updated list every so often).  Because there are quite a few, I don't always have time to post about all the really great deals when they come around.  Therefore, I'd recommend that you subscribe to these sites through the links below so that you can receive a daily email with the newest and greatest deals.  These sites are a great means to some really nice and inexpensive Holiday gifts!  So, with that said, here's a round-up of daily deal sites with a brief description of how each site works:


GROUPON

Groupon negotiates huge discounts on popular local goods, services, and cultural events. Then they offer the deals to thousands of subscribers in a free daily email. The deals are activated only when a minimum number of people agree to buy, which means subscribers get a great deal, and the business gets a ton of new customers. Win-win!  Go here to sign up!

LIVING SOCIAL

Living Social is another daily deal site that is very similar to Groupon.  They offer daily local deals to help consumers try new things without breaking the bank while helping to support local businesses.  Go here to sign up!


JASMERE

Jasmere is another daily deal site that is rather unique.  They seek out lesser-known specialty retailers that deserve national attention and negotiate to with them to offer exclusive discounts.  And what's more, the daily deal gets even better the more people that place an order!  So, when you place your order, you are not charged until the 24-hour sale is up (so, if more people place orders and the price continues to drop, you will be charged the lowest price that the item reaches after all orders are placed).  Go here to sign up!


EVERSAVE

Eversave is another site similar to Groupon and Living Social.  It offers savings on your favorite brands and ways to simplify an on-the-go lifestyle.  You'll find savings on everything from groceries and travel to baby products and entertainment.  They offer savings through coupons, discounts, samples, and free trials.  Go here to sign up!

THE FOUNDARY

The Foundary is a daily deal site that provides daily deals for home essentials at up to 70% off retail!  New deals start at 12pm EST and run for 3-5 days.  Additionally, it seems like most products offered qualify for FREE shipping!  Go here to sign up!

RUE LA LA

Rue La La is a daily deal site that offers higher-end clothing, home decorations, items for kids and babies, hotel discounts, etc.  You can go here to sign up for a Rue La La account.  Go here to sign up!

SWIRL

Swirl is a daily sample sale site that offers high-end clothing, accessories, and more at deeply discounted prices.  These deals often sell out very quickly, so I would highly recommend signing up so that you don't miss out on an awesome deal.  Go here to sign up!  


MAMAPEDIA

Mamapedia Sweet Deals is Mamapedia's new group-buying program that delivers exclusive local deals especially for busy moms and their families - for family-friendly restaurants, family entertainment, kids activities, fun places for a Mom's Night Out, and much more. Mamapedia started Sweet Deals so moms could benefit from the collective buying power of the large and growing Mamapedia community.

PLUM DISTRICT

Plum District is deal-based commerce community that strives to make moms' lives easier and more enjoyable. The company taps into semi-volunteer groups of viral moms who are motivated as much by recognition and contribution as by saving money.  While the deals are often aimed at busy moms, you don't need to be a mom to get in on the good deals on this site!  Go here to sign up!

HAUTELOOK

HauteLook, a leader in online retail, aims to bring the thrill back to shopping through 48-hour sale events with the world's top fashion, accessories, beauty, kids, and home brands.

Their unique systems help consumers and businesses save money by providing hundreds of exclusive deals on restaurants, spas, entertainment, hotels, clothing, movie tickets, and more—many up to 80% off the everyday retail price.  Go here to sign up!


GILT

Gilt Groupe provides invitation-only access to highly coveted products and experiences at insider prices. Each day, Gilt offers its members a curated selection of merchandise, including apparel, accessories and lifestyle items across the women’s, men’s and children’s categories. In addition, they provide the best in home decor and entertaining essentials, along with luxury travel packages and fantastic offers on local services and experiences. Most sales start at noon ET and last only 36 hours, making Gilt.com an exclusive shopping destination for luxury at up to 70% off.


In addition to the daily deal sites above, here are two other sites that I think are worth checking out if you haven't already:


EBATES

Ebates is a site that gives you cash-back on your online purchases (the % cash back differs for each retailer).  How is this possible? Basically, retailers pay Ebates to refer customers to them, and Ebates then pays a portion of that profit to the shoppers themselves. It's a win-win-win!  The only tricky thing is remembering to go through Ebates when you shop online... it took me a little while to develop the habit, but now I'm saving on practically every online purchase! Go here to sign up!  To read more about Ebates, check out my post about Saving on Online Shopping with Ebates!


SHOPATHOME

ShopAtHome works in the same way as Ebates - the company passes on a portion of their earnings from a referral to the shopper.  Go here to sign up!
