What deal sites do you use?
Ok?so Sue&Mike just said her husband is registered with ?blind squirrel? deals. I had never heard of it. I went to their website and looked at their past deals page. They had a Purple Star Buffet deal on there which I would have loved to buy ? we go there at least once a month L
Anyways, what deal sites are you registered to?
I have bought deals from: Crowd Cut, Groupon, Living Social (and Living Social Escapes), and Travel Zoo.
Bonus Question: What is the best deal you have bought?
I bought a murder mystery dinner and inn stay for two at Spicer Castle Inn from Crowd Cut. I paid $135, which they say would have cost $277. Our friends also bought coupons so we went in a group. I would not go back and would have been upset if I paid full price, but it was fun experience I would not have done without the Crowd Cut.
Re: What deal sites do you use?
I actually use dealradar.com. It compiles every deal for a city from all of those types of sites and sends them to you in one daily email. It eliminates the need to be registered for all of the different emails. I'd highly recommend! It also breaks deals out in categories - beauty, home, fitness, food, etc.
The best deal I bought has been the two yoga studios I've done. CorePower was $40 for an unlimited month. My new yoga studio in Chicago was $38 - normally $160. Awesome!
Hmm, dealrader looks cool....but, I didnt see the travel deals for Living Social, the squirrell one or Travel Zoo (but travelzoo doesnt have daily deals).
Still it had several I had never heard of.
I am a deal junkie I'll have to look at Dealrader, interesting. I am pretty much signed up for all of them Living Social, Groupon, Crowd Cut and Plum District (this one is more local based, so its nice to help out the little guys)
Best deal?? The massage deals are always really nice. I got one to Manny's a few months back DH and I went there when they were still on their lunch special. We ended up paying $5 at Manny's and I think it was $20 for the deal. SO not bad!
You have to sign up to get daily deals to see what today's deals are (is that your question?). Im not a fan of that, but they have really fun deals. They are geared towards local/organic and mom's/kid type deals. Like I said they are new, and just getting off the ground here so they deals are just starting to get really good!!
Steals from the Star Tribune, Woot.com (I just go to the website), One Kings Lane for home decor, Groupon, Crowd Cut (I love it when they have dry cleaning deals!!), Plum District.
Lots. DH is only signed up for Groupon and Crowd Cut.
If you use swagbucks, you can buy the groupons from swagbucks under daily deals, and in addition to getting the deal, you also get swagbucks for it. If I buy a groupon, that's how I buy it.

I love swagbucks, well actually I am just getting into it. But love the idea behind it!
And Chelsea, I think someone from swagbucks has to email you in order to get credit for the referral, but I m not too sure about that. ??
I use most of the other ones mentioned, but DH's aunt just introduced me to mybargainbuddy.com. They had a great redbox one the other day and today I just got 4 years of Everyday with Rachael Ray for $15
I only do groupon and livingsocial for daily deals. I use mommysavesbig.com and slickdeals.net for deal info, and I follow fatwallet.com, all the airline sites, and megabus on twitter,
One note on redbox, if you enter the code DVDONME (or DVDATWAG for walgreens locations) you should be able to get a free movie. I se them all the time,. If it rejects the code b/c youve used it, try another credit card. I never pay for redbox movies. Also, sign up for their text alerts and they send you free codes once a month, and sometimes a bons random one on holidays.
