Hi Dolls,

About five years ago a co-worker introduced me to these sites called Groupon, Living Social, and Rue La La. I absolutely love online shopping and deals, so it would have seemed that I would have jumped in full force, I did not. I am familiar with sites like Amazon and 6pm.com, they offer me exactly what I need from the comfort of my home. Adding new sites was a little like changing traveling plans in the middle of a trip.

Rue La La is a site where members are offered luxury and designer goods at a lower price. They offer such goods as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. All of the items are new, but here is the catch, they only have a limited amount. So its kind of an exclusive sale, however if you have expensive taste and you want to buy those things on sale you want to be a part of this site.

Living Social is a site that offers deals on the best thing in your local city, I have not had much interaction on this site, the site offers great getaways from Nile to Egypt to Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic and Jamaica for under a $1,000 each.

My favorite of all these sites has become Groupon, if you are not using Groupon you are potentially spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on things that everyone else is getting a discount on. Now who does not like the words “sale” or “discount?” Well maybe there are some people who do not ever buy things on discount, not me!

I have been using this site more and more since my vacation to Las Vegas, Nevada. On vacation my travel party was able to take advantage and experience some amazing places and events by just accessing this site. I recently have purchased tickets to see Nicki Minaj for $25.00, 30 sessions for kickboxing for only $29.00, lunch at Addison Eatery ($20.00 value for only $11.00). There is also deals for massages, Zumba, Destinations, Horseback Riding, Beauty Services, Car Detailing and even catering services.

If you are on a budget, in need of an adventure or upgrading your wardrobe Rue La La, Living Social, and Groupon are great apps to have on your phone. Daily deals are sent to your email for an even more convenient way to be notified. So what are you waiting on sign-up to start saving.
