LivingSocial is one brand to especially keep an eye on. They are growing and expanding at a rapid rate, and they are great to use for saving money.

A great online site for consumers to use to find deals and sales in their area is http://www.dailydealpool.com. They'll email you daily with a list of the best buys, and you can get this email on your smartphone, laptop, or regular PC.
