Retail Bootcamp: Save Money with Daily Deal Sites

 

Retail Bootcamp is a series that will teach you step-by-step basics to saving money on Retail for yourself, home, gifts, holidays, etc...

Daily Deal sites can be an extremely powerful way to save money. The savings are usually 50% - 90%! You can use them for Gifts, Party Planning, Retail, Entertainment, Spas, Salons, etc... Personally, I use them quite a bit. I think outside of the box and buy ahead for a gift giving occasion. There are a few things you'll want to keep in mind when using a Daily Deal.

• They're typically only available for a limited time
• Does the deal include shipping?
• When does it expire?
• Can I buy more than one? One for me and another for a gift.
• Some will allow you to earn "credit" for sharing deals with your friends
• Or some will give you "credit" for just signing up

Some of our favorite Daily Deal sites include:

Groupon
Eversave
Mamapedia
Plum District 
Totsy
Zulily
