Deals, Deals Everywhere!

So I have been a terrible blogger, but here I am again.  I think aspiring to write something inspirational every day made me stop writing all together.  I'm going to write what's happening, what I'm thinking about, and sometimes something inspirational will come.  I'm lowering the expectations on myself.  So today, I'm talking about something that I love -- deals.  If you know me, you know I love clearance, deals, and coupons.  There are some amazing ways to get deals out there and some sites I love to use.  I will tell you some of those sites and why I like them.  Hopefully you will find them useful as well :)  If you're a facebooker, most of these sites have facebook accounts as well that update frequently with new deals.

My Points :) - I put a smiley, because this is one of my all-time favorite sites.  Anytime you want to purchase something online, purchase through the link to your favorite websites on this site.  You will get points for everything you buy, emails you click on, and other various things.  You can use the points to score free gift cards.  We order online from time to time and are almost at our 2nd $50 amazon gift card. Check it out :)

Daily Deal Sites

Groupon - one of our favorite daily deal sites with new deals every day specifically for where you live - we've gotten great hotel, restaurant, shopping, etc... deals through groupon
Living Social - another fantastic  daily deal site - we've gotten some great hotel and restaurant deals
No More Rack - I haven't ordered from here yet, but they have great deals that change every day at noon cst - usually designer brand related for much cheaper.
There are LOTS more than this, but these are some of the most popular.
