You can get daily deals without paying first
Daily deals sites are becoming big business in the UK as well as in the USA and elsewhere. There are discount offering websites becoming so large that they are getting floated on the stock market, and discount shopping fever is gripping the nation. It is likely that you could save quite a bit of money using these sites, so if you have not already done so, it is worth checking them out; you can quite easily see if they are for you or not.
The major problem most people have with daily deals sites is that they do not generally offer something that you would buy for full price, and generally nothing that you would not consider a somewhat frivolous, luxury purchase. The next problem for many is that you have to pay towards the deal, and that becomes a somewhat dubious transaction in the eyes of the public. You are committing yourself to potentially quite a large purchase by essentially putting down a deposit, which then gives you a limited amount of time to actually pay the rest towards your goods or service and cash in on it: you might not be wanting to go for a weekend away, for example, in the next few weeks, but if that is the deal of the day you do not really have a choice when you are going to go away. To say that discount websites encourage impulse buying is an understatement, because they limit the time frame for the purchase, and generally pertain to large sums of money; in fact, since many of them deliver their messages directly to the email inboxes of subscribers, deals websites constitute the exact inverse of window shopping.
There is a solution for people who want to save some money on their shopping without going through the painful process insisted upon by the discount giants. Smaller, fledgling websites with a similar manifesto but a very different business model are springing up, which in many cases require as little as a free registration to take advantage of the offers they have available, at any time you are ready to cash in on them; not just within a week or so of when they send them to you. Since what they offer is free, they are not taking a large cut of the profits from the supplier either, so in some cases the discounts can be even bigger than the national providers.
Discount shopping and daily deals websites do not always have to charge you money up front to take advantage of their offers, in fact, some sites such as JungleDrum do not charge you at all, and you can cash in on savings on your shopping whenever you want.
