Review: DealFind, Groupon, LivingSocial, TeamBuy and StealTheDeal Daily Deals of the Day Sites

If you’ve never bought from DealFind, Groupon, TeamBuy, StealTheDeal, LivingSocial or any of these daily deals sites before, I can verify that they are 100% authentic and legitimate. I have bought dozens of deals from each of these group buying sites and have already used a lot of the vouchers/ coupons at a bunch of different places and have never had any problems. If you don’t believe me, you can always call the featured businesses directly and ask them to confirm the deals yourself.

I too questioned the validity of these websites when I first heard about them. They almost sound too good to be true. How can they get local businesses to offer such incredible deals? We’ll, they are able to do so by promising to send these businesses hundreds or thousands of new customers. This new group buying power is the hottest trend in 2011.

You can usually save up to 50-90% off local restaurants, spas, shopping, salons, events and more. I was finally convinced after I bought a couple vouchers and used them and after reading the following article: Forbes recently named Groupon one of the fastest growing companies ever!

It’s fun and exciting watching how many people take advantage of the Deal of the Day sometimes. It’s very common to see a couple hundred or thousand people in each city take advantage of the daily 1-day sales. The record that I saw was over 12,000 people buying a voucher to a Go-Karting place in Vancouver and over 22,000 people buying a 50% Off Gap voucher in Chicago. DealFind,  Groupon, TeamBuy, Steal The Deal and Living Social continue to amaze me with some of their HOT Deals.

Discovering these sites have changed my life. It’s allowed me to discover, try out, and support many local businesses that I would have never heard of or had the chance to visit. It makes it so much easier and more enjoyable being able to visit these places when you’re getting 50% Off or more thanks to all these Deal of The Day websites.

So, if you haven’t tried Deal Find, Groupon, TeamBuy, StealTheDeal, LivingSocial or any of these other Daily Deals sites, you’ve been missing out big time!

Today’s Groupon for current fashions at American Apparel. Choose between two options:

For $25, you get $50 worth of in-store merchandise at retail locations throughout Canada.
For $25, you get $50 worth of online merchandise.
An American-named outfittery founded by a native Montrealer, American Apparel provides customers with an eclectic lineup of prêt-a-porter possibilities constructed to complement the carcasses of average clothes-wearing humans. Cram your closet with the company’s seasonless staples, such as a unisex long-sleeve jersey T-shirt ($23), to ensure an ample supply of comfortable classics that will remain fashionable long after closets themselves have been replaced by hydraulic pants-compression chambers. Fashionable femmes can find familiar pieces recast in new fabrics and colors with an assortment of new knitwear, such as a unisex knit cardigan ($74) and basic T-shirts ($14 and up) provide both guys and dolls with versatile torso packaging. Wool peacoats ($195) and polar fleece pullover hoodies ($55) serve as flattering flesh protectors during long summer staring contests with obstinate air conditioners.

American Apparel pumps out its stylish stock from a seven-story factory sprouting from the fertile earth of Los Angeles, California. An employer of over 1,000 Canadians, the company credits Canadian principles of fairness for inspiring its socially responsible, vertically integrated production model and its systematic aversion to waste, which allows American Apparel to staff its facility with highly paid, smile-wearing workers while keeping its prices low and its environmental impact to a minimum.

Top 6 Social Coupon Sites for Canadians

Guest Post by Wes Walls.

Just about everyone loves a good deal and it seems that in times when the economy is a little rocky, bargains abound. Case in point: earlier this year it was announced that Groupon, the social coupon website that you’ve likely heard of, is the fastest growing company ever. Let that sink in for a second… no company in history has ever grown faster. Since Groupon went online a couple of years ago, a swath of comparable sites have exploded onto the scene. The trend is obvious – people have a little less money in their pockets but want to maintain their lifestyle. Social coupon sites are the answer to that urge. You can still have a great time and explore your city without overspending.

If you don’t know how social coupon sites like Groupon work yet, the general idea is that one really hot, specially-negotiated deal is posted each day in your city, and a certain number of people need to participate in order to get the deal. Each one varies slightly, so let’s take a closer look at our Top 6 Canadian social coupons sites:

Groupon
This is the original social coupon mega-deal site. One deal is posted per day, with a certain minimum number of participants needed to activate it. If the minimum is reached, then the participants are sent a voucher by email which they can print and bring to the business. If the minimum is not met, which almost never happens, no one gets a voucher. Groupon goes out of their way to make their daily deals adventurous and fun. One “brave soul” claims to live off nothing but Groupons. You can find Groupons for over 20 Canadian cities with the notable exception of chez moi, Montreal.

LivingSocial
Being one of the other big players in social coupons, LivingSocial is also able to post great deals each day. If you participate in a daily deal, you will get a voucher no matter how many other people participate. Not only that, but if you share the deal with three other people who also participate, your deal is free. LivingSocial coupons are available in only seven Canadian cities – including Montreal. And, for what it’s worth, LivingSocial is probably the nicest looking of all the social coupon sites.

StealTheDeal
This social coupon site is Canadian-only and offers a daily coupon with no minimum number of participants. The deals here tend to be a little less adventurous than the big players – at time of writing the deal of the day is for an indoor children’s playground pass – and their pyramid-style commission scheme is a little bit tacky, but a deal is a deal. $12 off something you might want in your community is $12 off, so it’s still worth signing up to the newsletter. StealTheDeal coupons are available in ten Canadian cities at the moment.

Dealfind
Dealfind posts daily, limited-time deals from Monday to Thursday of each week. The deals are robust, if generally not as adventurous and unique as LivingSocial or Groupon. They encourage their participants to share the day’s deal to earn cash. They tend to mostly get coupons for salons, laser treatments, spas and the like, and while coupons are available in nine Canadian cities, coupons are not always available in all of the ones listed. It’s probably only worth signing up if you live in Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto.

Teambuy
Teambuy is a Canadian-only social coupon site that emulates the Groupon model. A minimum number of people need to participate in the promotion in order for everyone to get the deal. As with Groupon, the minimum is almost always surpassed, and the quality of the daily deals is very good. This is my favourite Canadian social coupon site. Teambuy is active in about twelve Canadian cities, and if you live in one of these it is certainly worth signing up for.

GoodNews
This is a US-originating site that has expanded into Canada. Deals are only available for a few cities right now, and they are often fairly low value but fun. They donate 10% of every deal to a local charity, such as YWCA. GoodNews is advertising heavily online right now, so I’m sure we can expect to see new deals coming online fairly soon in more cities. It’s definitely one worth keeping your eye on.
There are many ways you can save and find deals on- and offline, but if you like impulsive, adventurous and relatively affordable spending, our Top 6 listed social coupon sites are certainly worth a look.
There are other websites coming online all the time offering daily coupons. Are there any other Canadian social coupon sites that you use or like?

Staples Business Depot is an office supply emporium offering a wide range of business provisions and printing services. Its classic calendar can be customized online with photos, logos, dates, captions, and locks of virtual hair. Each month’s image can showcase a solo photo headliner or a group number fashioned from a plethora of pictures arranged in a harmonious collage. Customers can also choose to label their own significant dates in addition to traditional holidays such as Boxing Day and Bring Your Ferret to Work Day. The visual component of each month may be accented with one of 21 new holiday-themed templates, in addition to the 14 classic templates. These 11″x17″ date keepers are printed on high-quality 100 lb. card stock with a sturdy coil binding. The standard calendar comes with 12 months, although customers can choose to defy Pope Gregory XIII by upgrading to an 18-month calendar for an additional $4.99, or make a calendar gift-ready by including a gift envelope for an extra $2.99. A custom calendar is a thoughtful holiday gift for family and friends that also ensures that they remember your birthday, given that its emblazoned across the date in red, size 26 font.
