Group Discount Programs

I'm totally diggin' the new group discount programs that are popping up.  I've already shared with you my excitement about Groupon in a previous post, but I've found two more websites that do the same thing.  Mamapedia Sweet Deals and Living Social.  Everyday there's a new deal, and if the minimum number of participants is met, then the deal is on, and you get a great deal on whatever it is that's offered that day.  So far I've purchased a painting class, chiropractic massages, carpet cleaning, and tickets to the Texas Discovery Gardens through these sites at amazing discounts.  Businesses participate and offer these deals in hopes of reaching new long term customers, and customers get a super deal so it's a win-win!  Ok, the two new sites I've found are:

Mamapedia Sweet Deals: In addition to a great deal , you also get to designate a school or preschool to receive 5% of your purchase!  Bonus! 

Living Social shows you other things to do in your city of choice, like top rated restaurants and places to go, as well as offering a fantastic deal on something.  

Also, all three sites offer a referral incentive program.  Groupon gives you $10 when someone you have invited gets their first Groupon.  Mamapedia Sweet Deals gives you a $10 credit when your friends join and place their first order, and Living Social gives you your deal FREE if three of your friends buy the same deal.
