5 Online Deal Sites You Might Not Have Heard of

By Lisa Payne

They pop into your newsfeed almost as quickly as you open your mouth. Social media ads are practically everywhere. It seems like you were just talking about something you’d like to try and just like that your made-for-you ad is right there waiting for you saying, "Click me!"

Deals for massages, clothing, classes and even vacations all talk to us like a piece of double chocolate cake in the fridge. It's sounds amazingly attractive but it might befit you to be less impulsive and more pragmatic with your decision-making. Try not to take the first deal that comes your way and do a little research.

Before your next click, take a look at these 5 alternative sites for online deals:

1) Living Social – Next to Groupon, LivingSocial.com is the second largest deal site. This makes sense since Groupon purchased Living Social in 2016. Business aside, Living Social is your own personal planner, complete with discounts up to 70% off original prices. Plan your next trip, take an art class or even book a spa visit. Try something new!

2) Yipit – Around since 2010, Yipit offers deals on dining & nightlife, health & beauty, activities & events, fitness, travel and more. Location-specific, search deals near your home, work, business trip or personal vacation. It only has around 30 daily deals but it’s still worth a peek!

3) Travelzoo, Inc. – If you’re someone who likes a package deal, Travelzoo is your new travel agent. $600 trips to Iceland or $200 all-inclusive trips to Cabo San Lucas sound appealing to you? On top of that you can find restaurant deals near your hotel, cruise vacations or even spring break ideas here.

4) Supreme Golf – If you’ve ever dreamed about learning how to golf or improving your current golf game, Supreme Golf is in the hole! Find local tee times, top-rated courses and deals on all the above. Stop putting off to tomorrow what you can do today!

5) Spa Week – Isn’t every week Spa Week? If only! But twice a year you can enjoy as much as 50% of spa and wellness deals in your area. Stop putting off self-care. Book a massage, facial, mani-pedi or even a whole spa day! It’s just as important as exercise!

Whatever it is that you’ve been wanting to do but maybe haven’t because of a tight budget, your answers are right here. Check out the deals on these alternative sites each week, or set an alarm to stay on top of your daydreaming-to-do plans!
