Group Buying Sites I Trust

Group buying sites are gifts to shopaholics most especially to practical ones such as myself.


To those who are unfamiliar, group buying sites are online websites that offers products and services at significantly reduced prices. This is not your typical mall sales and promos since some offers go as high as 90 percent in discounts. Imagine the savings you get from those.

If you wanted to experience dining in an expensive restaurant, try that adrenaline pumping adventure, wanted to get romantic on an oversea cruise or is just dying to get that Wireless Sports MP3, then visiting these sites first can be really rewarding.

These sites are getting popular and deals could easily be found if you know where to look. However not all are legitimate and the number of complaints and irate customers are growing.

With this i have listed below the sites I trust myself. As I've written before, I'm the type of guy that would research first on things before trying them out (believe me, it really pays to do your homework).

These sites offers the best deals, provides more convenient options for paying, and the most important; I haven't had any bad experiences with any of them.

Pros and Cons

What are the things to like or not with these sites.

• Using these sites is very easy, simple and straightforward.
• Registration is free.
• Purchased offers can be given as gifts.
• Some sites rewards subscribers credit points when they recommend them to other people. You may use these credits to purchase your next deal.

• Deals are offered on a limited time only.
• Redemption or use of purchased vouchers have validity periods and mostly depends with their corresponding merchants.

Just a little warning, shooping through these portals can be very addictive. They are convenient, easy and not to mention the great savings you get from them.

Just be cautious and do study the terms and conditions. Read the fine prints and call the merchant first if you can before purchasing so everything will be clear.

I will update the list everytime I find a new site that can be trusted or when I get any bad experiences with them.
