Get All Of YVR’s Daily Deals In One Place

Too many online deals flooding your inbox can be more annoying than helpful. Here’s a way to manage them.

Cheap Sheet - A. NelsonSAVE TIME + MONEY | Do you suffer from inundation saturation? Have you signed up for and subjected yourself to a tsunami of daily deals, subdeals and dedicated emails that now rip through your inbox like winter waves along the beaches near Tofino? On the surface, social shopping websites are a great idea. After all, what can be wrong with receiving a daily email inviting you to save 50 to 90 percent on amazing local merchandise or services? The problem is that social shopping behemoth Groupon, the granddaddy of social shopping sites, has spawned legions of worthy contenders, all of them now delivering awesome deals every day. Just keeping up with the Lower Mainland’s dozen or more daily deal offerings can feel like part-time job.

Introducing The Cheap Sheet

At Frugalbits, we decided to do something about staying on top of all this. To save you time as well as money, we have added the Cheap Sheet, our own deal aggregator, to our site. You may have noticed our ad introducing the Cheap Sheet, and if you click on it you will find a thorough list of the deals of the day plus links to their providers.

You don’t need to subscribe to any of these sites to view the deals, but you will have to sign up if you want to buy something. You might consider setting up a special Gmail account just for social shopping. You can let all of your daily deal emails accumulate there (that’s what we do), visiting periodically to dump the backlog in the trash. This way you can use the Cheap Sheet for perusing the daily deals and your Gmail account for purchasing—which will cut down substantially on the clutter in your main inbox.—Fb eds
