Morning Deal Hunting

Every morning when I pop open the laptop there are a few sites I go to before I do anything else...here they are:

Baby Half Off - they post a new deal every day at 7am PST.

Haute Look - they have a bunch of different deals going on at once, and let you see what's coming up.

Mama Bargains - they post a new deal until it runs out, so it's best to friend them on FaceBook to see when new ones are posted.

Groupon - one deal per day (except for the occasional side deal) that you get via coupon.

Living Social - one deal per day that you get via coupon

Baby Steals - one new "steal" per day, posted at 8am PST.

Kid Steals - one new "steal" per day, posted at 8am PST.

Scrapbook Steals - one new "steal" per day, posted at 8am PST.

Old Navy Weekly - new coupons posted weekly, usually on Thursdays.


If you have any questions about the above sites feel free to ask me...I'll do my best to answer them. =)

Hungry?? Don't pay full price!!

One thing is for sure...we rarely dine out without a coupon. Between getting great deals at Restaurants.com and in the mail (you DO look at your junk mail, don't you?) I also have found that if you sign up on restaurant's websites you will not only typically get a "thank you" coupon, but you will also get notices via email as to specials and with additional coupons in the future. Even better, most will give you something nice for your birthday and/or anniversary!

Here is a sample of such places I have signed up with:
Benihana (get a free meal for your birthday!!)
The Melting Pot (free chocolate for your birthday and anniversary!)
Romano's Macaroni Grill
Claim Jumpers
McGrath's Fish House
Black Angus
TGI Friday's
Bucca di Beppo

There are many, many more. Just think of somewhere you go often and check out their website to see if they have an email list. OH and do what I do...create a free email account just for such things like coupon requests and such. That way you don't fill your real email with things that aren't necessarily important. =)
