Face it.There are just SOOO many deal sites out there, who can keep track of them all? (like Groupon, YouSwoop, Living Social, KGB Deals, Deal On, Daily Deals, Bloomspot, Squidoo, Deal Find, Deal Daddy, Social Buy to name a FEW!) The deals range from 50-90 percent off retail rates and many are one-day-to-buy only, or rely on a large number of buyers to tip the scale and make the deal available.
I remember how I felt when my friend Lindsey told me (gleefully, I might add) that I missed out the Heavenly Massage Living Social Deal that offered 3 massages for $39! That's 87 percent off their regular prices, and my back is still protesting not taking advantage of that one! Or $75 worth of dining for $25? Even getting $20 for $10 at the pottery studio my daughter loves is great.
So I check them now. Everyday. And you're going to benefit, because I'm posting the links to all the ones near or around Downers Grove. Or events like concerts, cruises, baseball games, etc., you'd be willing to drive for.
