Save Money Tip: Daily Deal Sites

If you are looking for ways to save money, you should check out Daily Deal Sites like Groupon or Living Social.  These sites allow you to dave money at restaurants, salons, spas, and shopping.  You can also save on trips and excursions!  The way daily deal sites work is that they will offer a coupon for services at a deep discount (usually 50-90% off).  A typical example would be that you spend $20 for $50 worth of food and drinks at a certain restaurant or pay $30 for a facial that would usually cost $70.  These coupons or vouchers are offered because dDaily Deal Sites like Groupon or Living Social harness the power of “group buying” in order to get such discounts.  Merchants are happy to offer deep discounts to get people to come in and eat their food or enjoy a relaxing massage.  The hope is that you will check out this new merchant and be so impressed you will continue to return and become a loyal customer.  Groupon or Living Social will often times also offer discounts at national retailers or websites such as Amazon, Old Navy, and Fandango ($9 for 2 movie tickets anyone?).  So if you are looking for a great way to save money (and check out some new retailers, restaurants, etc…) check out Daily Deal Sites like Groupon or Living Social.   Also be sure to refer your friends as these sites will also offer you credits towards the site for every member you refer!
