Half Off Depot & Living Social

I recently found two Groupon-like sites that offer great deals. They both offer good deals on restaurants and other services around major cities and offer great savings. I use them all the time to lower my dining and entertainment costs by 50% or more!

Two other sites:

• Half Off Depot
• Living Social

You simply buy a deal you like and print the coupon. Some they have to mail you at an added cost but it is still a good deal. I like to use them to try new places without having to pay full price. If it is not good or what I expect at least I got it at a big discount! Give it a try today and enjoy the savings!

Never pay full price!

A new rule I am going to implement this year going forward is to never pay full price. There are too many options available to get discounts, coupons, buy-one-get-one, etc. Their are a few sites that I follow that help me do exactly that. They cover everything from electronics, clothes, restaurants, events, and just about everything else.

The List:

• Slickdeals.net: People find deals on certain items online. They are submitted through this site and the best deals make the front page. Good especially for electronics, clothes, household, etc.
• Restaurant.com: Great for buying discounted coupons for restaurants. Keep an eye out for their 70% and 80% off coupon codes to pay next to nothing for $10 or $25 worth at local eateries. Be sure to read the fine print on each before buying.
• Groupon.com: They have a daily deal that you can receive by email. It ranges from restaurants to massages to wine tastings to activities. These are usually great deals and big discounts! Currently only offers a few major US cities.
• Travelzoo Top 20: Best place to find vacation and travel deals. Most often offers hotels, flights, crusies, and some packages and good prices. Sign up for their weekly email delivery of the Top 20.

These sites cover the majority of what I do and look for. If I cannot find them on any of the above I will go to Google and do some digging around. If I am at a physical store shopping I will check prices on my iPhone via Amazon or Google Products before buying. I also check the clearance and/or open box sections to see if they have what I am looking for. eBay is a last resort if I want an item used (and cheaper).
