Attention, all ye deal hunters and coupon-clippers: If you’re anything like me, you have a whole folder and filter in your e-mail dedicated to all the sale websites you subscribe to. Groupon, LivingSocial, Gilt Groupe, BlackBoardEats…you name it, and I’m probably receiving the New York blast, which means I’m getting a barrage of discount e-mails to peruse daily. Yipit puts an end to all the clicking by aggregating and recommending deals from all your favorite deal providers in one convenient location. Drawing from 591 sites and serving 32 cities, the service allows you to specify the types of deals you’d like to hear about and then filter the results by location, category, price, source, discount percentage and so on. Sale shoppers, consider this your bargain-hunting headquarters. – Sarah C.
Editor’s note: A few months ago we reported on heartsy, a Groupon-like site serving the etsy shopping community. Commenter Heidi noted that she doesn’t appreciate such sites, saying: “I personally have unsubscribed from all coupon sites that I originally signed up for. I don’t need a constant daily deluge of “super deals†and things to buy that I don’t really need. The buy now, buy cheap, act fast mentality is in exact opposition of my desire to support local business and artists, makers and creators.†We appreciate all opinions and she raises a very interesting point, so I’d like to throw it back out to you, readers. Do you shop deals sites, or steer clear on precedent?
