'Tis the Season for Holiday Shopping

‘Tis the season for holiday shopping! And one of the hottest items around that has shoppers running to shops, restaurants and malls are: coupons.

But these aren’t your mother’s old-fashioned newspaper coupons. Today’s coupons have gone high-tech and are distributed through e-mails, which make it easier for young professionals to take advantage of savings of up to 90 percent in some instances, from a variety of local stores, eateries, theaters, gyms, spas, getaway spots, and more.

LivingSocial.com is among many “deal-of-the-day” websites, including Groupon, BuyWithMe and 8coupons that have attracted millions of faithful users, particularly young people in urban areas who enjoy the thrill of finding a new deal each day.

In return for offering savings, businesses receive more traffic and opportunities to make new customers.

How LivingSocial Works
BUY. Get in on a deal of the day that interests you.
SHARE. Whenever three of your friends buy the same deal using your link, you get your deal for free.
WAIT. Within one business day your deal will be ready.
PRINT. Simply follow your deal’s instructions to redeem it.
SAVE. Enjoy a range of discounts in your area.

In this economy, every bit of savings helps and every dollar saved is another dollar to spend on gifts for those special in your life.
