There is another group buying program available right now called Buy With Me. I have to say these programs are so exciting for me, I got great deals from bTrendie and Zulily and I am seriously excited about two deals on Groupon the past few weeks- (the White Water rafting and professional photography sessions!)
So now if you live in select cities you can register for Buy With Me and get daily deals on all sorts of items from clothing to salon services to entertainment.
The cities they target are:
Austin, Boston, Dallas, Houston, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, and Washington DC
and hopefully they will add more cities soon. This one is a little different because the quantity of deals are limited so if you decide to register make sure you check those emails early.
You can head over to Buy With Me to register.
Does anyone have any other programs they recommend? Other group buying programs I occasionally recommend are Jasmere, Zulily, bTrendie, Groupon and Living Social.

This one is specific to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, but there might be something else similar elsewhere. These are the “half-offers”.

bargainbee.com is a good one for readers in southern Louisiana. It has deals for Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and Lake Charles. I think they may have some Houston and New Orleans deals as well.
