As we all know by now about these websites which can offer great deals.
Recently it seems that they are millions of these popping up.
It can be very difficult to keep up with all the deals all the time does anyone know of away to view deals from sites in a list format. I was thinking of excel based macro or another site that consolidates all the deals on 1 page.

sites i know if are

mycitydeal.co.za
ubuntudeal.co.za
vuvuplaza.co.za
southafricadailydeals.co.za
dealify.co.za
schweetdeal.co.za
buywithus.co.za
24hoursonly.co.za



Any others?

ive just got them bookmarked in a folder, granted its not the best way, just open them all at once and close close close till u see something you want!
 
i see mycitydeal has crashed...compliments of sandwich baron special today :)
 
I had R25 from a referral that I used to by 5 sammiches :D Cheap/free food specials always crash those websites :)
 
I bought 10 :) wanted to go back for more but it had already crashed!
note to self: next time, dont take a tea break at such a crucial shopping time! :D
 
LOL, i missed that deal didnt see it! Guess i did forget to open my bookmarks today!
 
Any one noticed how many of these sites have similar formats on their web sites, yet they don't seem to be linked
 
Got my coupons today :) patiently waiting for the next *great* deal :)

I think most of them are owned by the same company & just trading under different names. Either way, it doesnt really matter. As long as they deliver on their promises :)
 
I've used an average of 1-2 groupons for dinners per month,sofar the service has been between average and amazing

One place I can recommend is Cesco's in Kelvin ( Jhb ),when I mentioned the groupon they took it immediately,my waiter explained the terms and what we could eat etc that's covered in the deal. Ate the most delicious starters and mains I could have imagined. Bill came with the discount already taken off,paid in the difference and left. The manager even gave my girlfriend a Full bottle of one of the extra sauces they gave with our starters when she asked if she could buy some

Good on them, I love good service story's.
 
Well thats an awesome story, and a company that realises the value of these kind of deals.

Its not about making money on the deal itself.. its about bringing in new customers, and impressing them.
