Daily deal websites such as Groupon are a great way to save money if you do it right. If you currently do the things that are sold on the daily deal websites, then it's better to save by buying the vouchers. I regularly purchase the discounts for bars, restaurants, or other activities.
Another reason why Groupons are an excellent idea is that sometimes you will see activities that you would not normally do, but they are for the same price as a common activity. For example, I recently purchased a 4 hour fishing boat tour for the price of a movie. Therefore, I can explore new activities such as fishing for the same price as a movie ticket and I get to keep the fish I catch!
One thing to remember about Groupons is that you have to remember to use them before their expiry date. I heard that 1 out of 5 Groupons are never used.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, deal-a-day websites. There are so many sites that what is needed is a site where you choose your cities and you can see all the deals at once. If someone knows of a site like that and it works well, let us know in the comments. It'd be great if you could also see the deals from other cities that you could use. For example, New York recently had a cheap subscription to Newsweek. People in Los Angeles could have used that deal too if they saw the NY Groupon.
