I sort of thought everyone subscribed to as many daily deal sites as I do. Maybe I was wrong. Lacey asked me for a full list of the sites to which I subscribe. Here goes nothing. I am too lazy to provide links but you all know how to use the Google so if you want to subscribe for these, I have faith that you are all intelligent enough to figure it out. =)
- Groupon (duh)
- Living Social
- Buy With Me
- Zozi
- Tippr
- kgb deals
- InBundles
- Yelp Deals
- ScoutMob
- BloomSpot
- Town Hog
- Gilt City
- Zagat Deals (I didn't even know I was on this list but..there it is in my email)
- Eversave
- Plum District
Err..that's a lot more than I thought. Oh, and don't forget Mamapedia, which I signed up for in order to buy a movie ticket deal, then unsubscribed from after all the ensuing deals were...for, well, moms.
I was also a member of Fab.com which was a deal site for gay men (um, they had $10 Lucky Burger meals for $.50!!), but they have since redone their design and I don't think they do daily deals anymore.
Though this makes it seem like I'm some kind of deal fiend, I don't actually purchase too many of them. I presently have exactly 11 outstanding deals that I need to use in the next year or so.
But Arielle, how do you keep track of all your deals? you ask.
My secret, dear friends, is a spreadsheet. Duh. If you learn one thing about me from this blog, learn that I have an Excel sheet for most of things in life. Remember when I wrote about how I kept a spreadsheet to keep track of my TV shows, but I thought it was crazy and I deleted it? Yup, I reinstated it. WHATEVER.
The point is, I have a spreadsheet listing all the deals I have outstanding, the site I bought them through (so I know how to retrieve them), and their expiration dates. They are listed in order of expiration date so I know which ones are the most pressing. I have yet to let a deal expire before I got the opportunity to use it.
Excel owns me. And so do Groupons. I of course use "Groupon" as a generic term for all daily deals, sort of like people say "kleenex" when they really mean "tissue."

You have a problem. However I occasionally benefit from this problem, so I'll allow it to continue. We need to do our knitting class and trampoline class. Let's try to do them on the same DAY.
This is the most unassumingly Jewish post you've ever written my friend. I'm so proud.
I'll have to check this against mine and see if I'm missing any of the sites you mentioned!!
