In March we've been talking about ways to save money on Birthdays Parties: Birthday Gifts and Paper Products / Decorations / Invitations / Thank You's and Cakes & Food. Today we'll be talking about how to save on Birthdays, by using Daily Deal websites.

“Daily Deal” websites work with a variety of Retailers and companies to make an exclusive, time sensitive offer to the public. More often that not, it’s at least a 50% discount on a product or service. You can use some of these special offers to save on gifts and themed Birthday Parties.

There are a variety of deals on tickets, family events,  gift items, etc... on a Daily Deal site. It's a perfect way to get a gift or to plan a themed Birthday at a fraction of the cost. The trick is making sure you're following theses sites to know when they're being offered.

There are countless number of “Daily Deal” websites. Some of the top sites include:

• Groupon
