LivingSocial
Today I learned about a website called LivingSocial. It's like Groupon (it offers daily deals at deep discounts for many cities in the US), but there is something different about it. If you buy the deal of the day, they will send you a unique link to share with your friends. If 3 of your friends purchase the deal, your deal is FREE!
Earlier this month they offered an Oakland Zoo Membership for $40. ($85 value) They also have deals for restaurants, spas, cupcakes and more. Check it out. You may find something you like at a great deal and if your friends like it too, you pay nothing!
Here is the link again.

Groupon
The first site I would like to talk about is Groupon. Groupon is available in most big cities in the US. I have linked you to the San Francisco page. To see additional cities, click on "Visit More Cities". They offer 50% off or more on restaurants/bars, clothing stores, spa treatments, laser removal centers, tanning salons, festivals, etc. There are 5 "deals" per week. Monday thru Thursday each deal is available from 12:00am to 11:59pm that day. Friday's "deal" is from 12:00am thru 11:59pm on Sunday. (3 days)
This is a great site to check daily. You never know, your favorite restaurant or store may be featured with a killer deal that you just can't afford to miss.
Some past deals...
$25 for a women's haircut at Milvali Salon in Mill Valley or San Francisco. (value $60)
$35 lift ticket to Alpine Meadows in Tahoe City. (value $69)
$15 for $30 worth of Indian Fare at Kasa Indian Eatery in San Francisco.
Here is the website again...
