Save Money with Groupon San Diego and Signon Daily Deal

Who doesn’t like saving money? I know I do! Well this probably isn’t new to a lot of you out there, but it was new to me… so I thought I would share. Have you heard of Groupon San Diego?

Groupon is a “Deal of the Day” type of website that offers a new local discount “Groupon” each day. These can save you up to 90% on different products and services around San Diego.

The way it works is Groupon make deals with local merchants to offer big discounts on individual products or services for one day and they create an assurance contract with them. What that mean is they guarantee the merchant a certain minimum number of sales to be made. So if that number is met, the deal is on and it becomes available to everyone. But if that number is not met… nobody gets the deal for that product. This helps take some of the risk away from the retailer, as they can treat the “Groupon” as quantity discount coupon, and it is also a great promotional tool to get their name out there.

I have been a member for just over two weeks now and I have not seen a Deal fall below the required number, but I am sure it is possible.

Check out the image on the right to see a few of the great deals they offered recently. I actually would have liked to have purchased each one of those deals, but some of them were offered before I ever heard of Groupon San Diego. My boys would have loved me to get that paintball Groupon, and we always go to Belmont Park a couple of times each year, so that $10 All Day Pass would have been a no-brainer!

Not only is it a great site for saving you money on stuff for you and your family, but it also a great place to buy gifts as well.

To compete with the great success Groupon San Diego is having, the San Diego Union-Tribune and some partners have created their own version and it is called the “Signon Daily Deal“. They are brand new, but they offer some AWESOME DISCOUNTS as well. Yesterday I purchased a $100 voucher for the restaurant Bellefleur (great downtown eatery), which also included a Free Bottle of Wine for only $50. I am going to use it to take my wife out for a nice romantic night on the town.

So what are you waiting for? Head over to both Groupon San Diego and Signon Daily Deal and get on their Daily Alert lists today. It is absolutely free to sign-up, and I promise you that you will glad you did!

My Groupon Deal of the Day and Signon Daily Deal emails are literally the only emails I look forward to receiving each day, as I love saving money and finding new things to do in San Diego, as well as new places to eat.
