Some money-saving websites...Most people save where they can – and thanks to the wonders of the Internet, there are a lot more opportunities to do so! Below are some helpful websites that can save you a bit of cash:
Groupon After establishing itself in the U.S., Groupon has finally made its way north of the border – to Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. The way this site works is pretty straight forward: each day it features one deal offered by a local business. You get the daily deal emailed to your inbox, and you have about 24 hours to buy it. The deals are usually pretty good – think 50% off or more – and feature a variety of products and services such as personal training sessions, massages, wine making, etc.
Living Social Deals Living Social Deals is pretty much the same as Groupon, but as of now it's only available in Toronto and Vancouver. If you live in either of those cities it would make sense to sign up for both, since they both offer different deals every day. They also make great gifts!
Beyond the Rack Beyond the Rack is an online website that features products from different designers – typically for a two or three-day period. Each designer has a handful of products that are drastically reduced and able to be purchased online. The products range from high-end brands – think Prada – to lesser-known designers.
Overstock.ca Think of Overstock as an outlet store on the Internet. The site – which features a wide variety of items, from housewares to clothing – essentially liquidates excess inventory from an array of manufacturers.    |
