5 Favorite Major Money Savers

On Monday, August 6th, 2012

The best things in life are free, but the extremely discounted things rank pretty darn high on the list as well. We’ve scoured the ever so popular discount sites & apps to find the best deals on some things we actually need and some things we just really, really want.

Hotel Tonight

Snag up to 70% off hotel rooms with this app that functions as the connector between the hotels with unsold rooms and your next night away from home. It can be used across the U.S. as well as internationally in London, Toronto, and Vancouver. You can book a last minute spot up until 2AM, say for an unplanned Vegas trip or you get stuck without a cab somewhere on New Years Eve. (It happens.) Takes some of the pressure of last minute travel planning!

Savored

Use this site to receive up to 40% off food and drinks at your favorite local restaurants. To make it even more convenient, you just book the reservations from the site to save you some time and lock in the deal. Just enter you party size, date, and time, and the dining options will be revealed. Current favorites of ours include Primotivo in Venice & Asia de Cuba in West Hollywood.

Gilt City

If you’re looking for some major savings on big investments, this is the place to go. While they offer concert tickets and sales on clothing they also offer everything from lasik eye surgery to the rental of photo booths and catering services for big events. You can also purchase up to five coupons for one deal if you want to plan a spa day or something fab for the girls.

Bloomspot

This site is full of great deals with a chic edge, lending more to upscale businesses and clients. There’s a focus on health, beauty, and then of course the plenty of experiences to parade your new looks. Think pilates classes, a cut and new highlights, some awesome clothing options, and a great deal on a Palm Springs getaway.

Blackboard Eats

Subscribe to this deal to get a variety of restaurant perks in your city, ones that might include a free bottle of wine with dinner, 30% off a meal, access to secret menus, or even private events. Hold on to your passcode and just mention it at the restaurant when you head out to redeem your deal. Current cities involved are San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and L.A. (Who couldn’t use a discount at Bouchon Beverly Hills!)
