Members of the new free shopping service receive an email each day featuring a deal of 50 percent off or more on things to buy, eat and do locally. And all Mom.com deals are sourced by local moms carefully selecting businesses and offers they would want to share with their own family and friends for nearby restaurants, salons, stores, activities and services.

Groupon & Living Social

Plus don't forget about the other, big name, Daily Sites I mentioned earlier.  At each site you can find deals that are for different parts of New Jersey such as North Jersey, Central Jersey, South Jersey. Once you sign up for their emails, you will get a daily alert for the deal that they are offering that day.

Groupon has become so popular and has grown so quickly over the last year that they have increased their staff by 3,000 employees since November.  You can get some great deals such as deep discounts on magazines, local restaurants, salons and more.  It's always fun to see what is new each day.

Living Social has a few different editions of the site including the Family Edition which is geared toward family activites such as zoos, museums and more.

Another edition is the Living Social Escapes which are mini vacation packages to places such as Bed & Breakfast, spas and more.
