Groupon
A lot of people are using Groupon these days...Groupon, for those who aren't using it yet, is a website that each day, features an unbeatable deal on stuff to do, eat, and buy. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, they provide amazing deals. If the number of buyers meets or exceeds the number of customers promised, the deal is made. I have bought a few and have never not been able to get a deal because the minimum number of deals have not been purchased.
Groupon is available in a number of cities, including San Diego, Cincinnati, DC and Vancouver. I've got a great deal on a mani/pedi. The range of "groupons" is amazing, here are just a few; tickets to baseball games, tours of Chicago,spa treatments, deals at restaurants.....If you haven't signed up, I highly recommend it....sign up here. Click "Visit More Cities" to pick yours.
Groupon has just developed their own app for your iphone. You can manage your account, purchase and redeem your Groupons from your phone.
You Swoop
This one is Chicago based. They offer deals on events, sports, restaurants, health and beauty, etc. It does not rely on a minimum number to be sold before someone gets a deal. They also select one of their subscribers each day to get the "swoop" for free. If you'd like to check it out and maybe sign up, click here.
Deal of the Day On-Line
Also a Chicago based site. In addition to the types of deals the others offer, I was able to get a room in my condo painted for less than 50% of what a company usually charged. More information
To clarify, I misspoke when I said "Chicago based". I was referring to the fact that the other sites only offer deals in the Chicago Area. All the sites, including "Groupon" are based in Chicago
