Daily Deals and Coupons - Two of Today's Hottest Savings Trends


Are you constantly on the lookout for coupons, daily deals and other clever ways to keep more money in your savings account?
If so, you're not alone. The nearly four-year-long economic downturn has hit people where it hurts most - their wallets. As a result, people who never used to clip coupons now do so religiously. Many consumers also scour the Internet for websites that bring money-saving coupons as well as group and daily deals right to their computers.
And why not?
Joining these daily deals websites is fast, easy and best of all, many of them are free! You've probably heard of the more popular sites like Groupon, LivingSocial and BloomSpot. Facebook and Amazon have even jumped on this bandwagon. Sign up at any of these sites and you can do things like personalize your daily deals, earn rewards for sharing your savings tips with other members, and choose the savings categories and cities you're most interested in.
But these aren't the only sites that take your savings potential to new heights. With a bit of searching, you'll find plenty of others. One of the newest to hit the Internet is Deal Ohhh!!!
The coupons and daily deals you'll find at DealOhhh.com and other similar sites aren't just for groceries, either. Depending on the website, members can find fantastic savings on just about anything including clothing, spa treatments, romantic and kid-friendly get-aways, fancy beauty products, essentials, dining out, music, entertainment, yoga classes, fitness equipment, and a whole lot more.
The amount members can save varies depending on the site and the daily deals or coupons being offered. Sometimes savings are as high as 90 percent off the retail price. Discounts from 50 to 75 percent are more common, but when money is tight, even a 10 or 20 percent discount is better than paying full price.
What you need to know
One thing that's important to know about these daily deals and coupons sites is that the deals you see don't usually last very long. When you see an offer that interests you, you typically have to act quickly if you want to take advantage of it. Before you do though, take this advice: Always read the details so you're absolutely sure you know exactly how the deal is structured.
As with conventional shopping, informed consumers usually make the best purchasing decisions. So pay close attention to things like coupon expiration dates, whether or not a certain number of people are required to participate in a deal, and whether or not required appointments and/or reservations will fit into your schedule. Also be sure you don't end up buying something you really don't need and always be wary of offers that sound too good to be true.
After all, daily deals and coupons aren't really that great a deal if they're for products or services you don't normally use.
