The Scoop on Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com

Posted on October 22, 2010 by Zacks

Coupons are an untapped resource that are generally free and can save you considerable amounts of money. There are a great number of sources for coupons. The Internet, in particular, is your biggest resource for money saving, and potential coupons cover everything from restaurants to hotels.

Two such websites for finding big savings are Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com. These sites are coupon treasure troves that are geared specifically to help you save on business services available in your area. Simply visit the site and enter your location information. The site will then generate a listing of local businesses and relevant coupons available for you to use.

You can begin your quest for saving money by joining Groupon.com and signing up for their free email alerts. These daily alerts will arrive directly to your inbox and clue you in on the newest deals for local businesses in your area. Also follow Groupon.com on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news on deals. Coupons are available for cultural events, services, and popular local goods. Vouchers can potentially save you between 50% and 90% on goods and services.

Once you find a voucher you want to use, you can print it off to be used as a coupon or simply pull it up on your phone to present it at the business to redeem your savings. You can then share your findings by networking with friends and spreading the goodness of savings. The more people you invite to join Groupon.com, the more Groupon bucks you earn. These can be turned in to redeem a number of prizes.

LivingSocial.com is very similar. You begin with entering your city and state, which generates potential savings in your area. Using LivingSocial.com can save you up to 90% on entertainment like restaurants, theaters, spas, bars, and more. Sign up for their free daily email and be alerted to one new dramatically discounted business deal per day. If you prefer, you have the option to sign up to receive alerts directly to your iPhone for increased convenience. You can then choose to purchase the deal by simply clicking on it. LivingSocial.com then sends you a link for the voucher the next day. If you share your deal with your friends and at least 3 of them also choose to purchase the deal, it is then completely free for you.

The only catch about the deals on these two sites is that they depend on how many people choose to use them. Because Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com are designed to help both customers and businesses, each deal has a minimum number of people that must choose to purchase them. If the required number of people do not sign up for the deal, it cannot be redeemed by anyone. But if enough people purchase the deal, then the voucher is made available to each of those people. These conditions are what make these particular sites different from other coupon sites. Savings depend on networking with friends, which results in savings for you and more customers for businesses.
