Many web savvy Torontonians are by now familiar with the mega-deal websites Groupon, Living Social and the like. The concept has been such a hit and has been practiced and modified by competitors from small local upstarts to large multi-national efforts. Fortunately you can subscribe to a daily email that summarizes all the deals available. As always, be sure that you know what you are buying. I always visit the website of the deal offeror, usually search for third party reviews and often call or email if I need clarification before making a purchase. I have made quite a few purchases across several of the deal websites and while I can say the websites that run the deals have all been relatively easy to use, the quality of the deals has been quite variable. It is really up to you as the buyer to do your homework and sniff out good value. Without further ado, here is the link for the daily summary of deals for Toronto.

Today as an example there are 17 new daily deals and 18 extended deals.
I would like to post a piece in the future about suggestions for deal site purchasers. A guide to how to get the most for your money. If anyone has thoughts on the subject I invite your comments below.
