It was when took a look at my accounts and realized that a number of them were expired and went to waste, boo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-110837 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:59:21 +0000 Mrs.KMM 110837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say a few times a year probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-110242 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:25:13 +0000 purrpletulips 110242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I buy from woot about once a month but I always check the price and reviews of the item on Amazon first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109466 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:15:27 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 109466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started buying from Haute Look. It's so addictive... Plus they take Paypal, which makes it ten times worse. Since the end of February I've bought from them 5 times! Yikes!</p> <p>I need to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109431 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:59:02 +0000 Alivoo01 109431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe once a month? During the holidays, there were quite a few good deals so I bought more then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109429 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:58:06 +0000 BSB 109429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yeah, the only reason I bought from Zulliy is because they give free shipping to new members. I did see a couple weeks ago, they had a free shipping weekend. I didn't see anything I could buy. I bought from woot, last month, but I made sure that it was a good deal even after shipping. I bought whiskey rocks for the DH and got 3 of them, so I could give 2 away as gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109417 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:52:55 +0000 Mrsbells 109417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never bought from them.... I just never find anything that wows me or if I do the cost of shipping is kinda bizarre so I just get it elsewhere </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109413 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:50:34 +0000 BSB 109413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Yeah, I get Gilt emails but I hardly find anything good. I think I should unsubscribe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109404 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:48:01 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 109404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practically never. I browse groupon and sweet jack fairly often, but I never see anything I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109391 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:40:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 109391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say maybe once a month, I used to do it more often but have cut back on spending. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109380 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:36:22 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 109380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Good! I think it's sneaky, honestly. The fact that they're limited time deals makes people assume they're getting the best price ... and so often, they're not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109375 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:33:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 109375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: with toys, it's almost always more expensive on gilt than it is on amazon. i actually visited their headquarters last year and told them that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109373 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:33:05 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 109373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten a couple things off Rue La La lately for myself. Be careful, though, and don't assume that it's a good deal without comparison shopping. I've noticed that especially on Gilt with kid/baby stuff, things are still cheaper on Amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109360 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:31:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 109360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to buy off gilt group a lot (couple times a month), but lately i haven't been buying anything. although they offered me a free $50 gift cert last week so i did buy something last week! other than that, i would say once a month at the most now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109355 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:29:24 +0000 PBandBaseball 109355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Angie's List is supposed to be better .I think that we just had bad luck with a company that used to be good but tried to make more money by hiring unskilled people who cut corners. This happened in February and we're still trying to get a refund. Maybe one day . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109337 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:20:58 +0000 BSB 109337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PBandBaseball: I thought Angie's list was suppose to be better because you pay for membership. That sucks. I'm sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109333 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:19:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 109333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm maybe once a month? I don't go overboard with them, but if there's a good deal I will get it for sure! Also last week I got a "free gift" from groupon, they just emailed me and said that I had $10 to use! I was like...sweet! So I am now getting the O magazine for free for a year I think, and it comes with a free tote bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109323 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:13:09 +0000 PBandBaseball 109323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go through stretches every 6 months or so where I'll buy 3-4 things over a week or two but for the most part I very rarely buy from these sites. Just too expensive on shipping.<br /> The hubs bought a Angie's List deal for air duct cleaning once. They did a terrible job, caused damage to our house and refused to refund our money. That stopped us from buying those types of deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109321 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:13:05 +0000 chopsuey 109321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've only bought 2-3 things from baby steals. In a span of a year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109297 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:01:51 +0000 PastaAndPotato 109297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i've bought 2 groupons ever, and i bought from ruelala once. not very often at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109295 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:59:02 +0000 heffalump 109295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. My husband gets us groupons but I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109229 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:17:48 +0000 banana 109229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @sweet t. I bought from Zulily and Baby steals once too. I usually buy most of my stuff on Amazon. And usually it's cheaper on Amazon because there's no sales tax. Plus I have Prime so no shipping costs. Some of those discount sites have outrageous shipping prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109219 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:11:16 +0000 Sweet T 109219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've ordered from Zulily once and babysteals once. I really like Zulily but I tend to impulse buy when there's a deal like the ones they offer. I have to sit down and make sure I can justify the purchase. I don't like babysteals as much because the shipping is always outrageous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109163 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:19:26 +0000 autumnlove 109163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy from Zulily about 1-2 times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109162 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:19:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 109162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really find any I like. There was a good mani-pedi one nearby last week, but the salon itself has bad reviews.</p> <p>I got some diapers from babysteals in november or so, but passed them along as we aren't cloth diapering now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-things-from-those-daily-deals-sites#post-109160 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:17:25 +0000 BSB 109160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like Zulliy, Totsy, Woot, Groupon, Living Social, etc. ?</p> <p>I think I buy from those sites about 2-3 a month at least. Last month, I bought about 7 deals. </p>
