Haven’t heard of Very Jane, but I love the name and look forward to seeing more! Would love to be entered, thanks!!
We just purchased our first Groupon but haven’t used it yet. Seems to be an excellent way to try out new things–which I like. Thanks for the opportunity!
Yes, I bought several things from Zulily and one thing from another site. The zuiliy stuff worked well. The nacklace I bought from the other site was very cheep looking. So I am have and lost but I will try to win again.

Hi, I’ve never heard of it but will get right on it! Sometimes our world can get smaller and smaller….recently I found out another co-worker gets your e-mails also!! I live 56 miles away and she also probably lives as far away….who would’ve thought it!!
I have bought recently a macaroon baking class through Groupon, a great deal, but too bad the classes was too full and over bought, they don’t want to reschedule new classes and they have to refund to me. Really feel sad that I have Missed that deal. :(
The only thing I’ve ever purchased from a deal sight was from Zulily that has all the children’s stuff. I want half of everything they show in the emails each day but had stood strong. But when they had the sailor suits on sale I couldn’t resist. However I didn’t get a great deal. $30 for one outfit is too much!
brilliant giveaway! I’ve never bought anything from a site like this but I may just take a look at this one. It sounds like a good idea!
I just signed up yesterday to receive email notices, therefore, I have not yet had the opportunity to shop. However, I thinks this is an awesome idea and way to give new things a try. Thanks for sharing with us all. I would love to be a winner and I love Kevin and Amanda, have been following them for a while.
Never bought anything before, but may have to soon!
I have and do all the time! I have Groupons coming out my butt!!
I’ve been using Groupon and WagJag for a while now, and I think it’s great that they are getting some competition! The more deals, the merrier!
I have bought one deal of the day from Very Jane. I don’t know yet, because I haven’t gotten the item! It sounds like a good idea, though! Thanks for a chance to win!

I have bought things, the most successful was a “sweet and sassy” makeover for my daughter. Unfortunately, I have also bought duds that I ended up never using.
I bought a mustache necklace made by little miss momma from a group-deal site. Love the necklace & loved the price:) Thanks for the chance!!
I’ve purchased from Woot before and been very pleased. But Very Jane seems like much more fun!!
Love Love Love Groupon! I will definitely check out Very Jane too:) HAve a great weekend!
Yes. I’ve bought several – a 16×20 canvas from Groupon and also a $20 gc to amazon for half price from living social. So far so good.
Our first groupon purchase was to a “wilds” type zoo. We got 4 tickets and went as a family. It was a great time and really was a good DEAL!
What a great giveaway…. Thanks!
I haven’t heard of VeryJane, but intend to check it out. I have bought “deal a day” items…many of them and have never been disappointed.
I just bought something from Groupon a few months ago for the first time. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have bought a groupon for Kobe in Honolulu, but our trip is in two weeks, so I haven’t used it yet. It was $60 gift certificates for $24!
An amazon gift card would be great to help me finish getting things ready for our trip!
Can’t wait to check out the etsy store!
No, I have never bought from a deal a day site, but have looked frequently.
I have bought several thing through a deal a day website. (babysteals.com) and they have all turned out to be great!
I’ve purchased many “deal-a-day” coupons! Whoever came up with this brilliant idea is a genius! The best one I found in Boston was for a cupcake shop and also a gourmet chocolate shop. I got double the treats for half the price! pure HEAVEN! Deal-a-days also allow my husband and I go out on a few more dates with each other without breaking the bank!
Yes, I have used Groupon twice. Got a great deal!!
I buy from Living Social all the time. The always have great offers.
I haven’t but will definitely check it out!!!
No I haven’t bought anything from that site before. Love a giveaway!
Yes, yes, yes. I love the idea.
I recently became a fanatic of the Zulily.com site. They have tons of great offers for children and women… and occasionally men too. They also have toy offers and kids’ room decor. I have bought a toddler’s keyboard for the computer, flip flops for myself, a baby gift for a friend and most recently a red and white polka dot halter dress, a matching skirt and a tank top – and an adorable matching polka dot purse for my toddler. I’ve even recvd two $15 credits for referring friends who purchased too. Can you say ADDICTION??
I have never bought anything from Woot but glad I know about it now! I just signed up! Love finding new deals, thanks!
yep- wagjag! a spa package…
I’ve bought from several of them! My favorite is the Melting Pot gift certificates we got from Half Off Depot! Can’t wait to see what Very Jane has to offer! : ) Thanks for the chance to win!

Looks like a cute site! I use Groupon all the time. And I love Amazon!
Ironically, the first deal a day thing I ever purchased was a half off Amazon.com gift card! Of course it was a great deal! Very Jane seems interesting! Will definitely follow their selections.
I just scored a $50 gift card for $20 at a very high end restaurant in our area that we never went to – it was absolutely fab and is now our favorite place to go!
Yes, both Groupon and Restaurant.com. Love all of it!
I’ve never purchased anything from a deal-a-day website. I’m always afraid it’ll fall through somehow! I’ll have to check this one out, though.
I have never bought from a deal a day site……but there’s a first for everything! :)
I LOVE deal of the day sites! :) I love trying out new restaurants using LivingSocial and Groupon. I also have purchased from woot.com (t-shirts and air mattress) with great success. My new favorite is a hand-stamped necklace I purchased through GroopDealz. Thanks for sharing this new one!
I’ve purchased several things from deal of the day services. Many times I have to restrain myself from getting all of them; they are such good deals!

I have not but I use Groupon alot!!!!
I have purchased from woot.com, kidsteals.com, and groupon.com. I was not impressed with livingsocial.com in any way. VeryJane looks wonderful, though!

Only once — an even match donation to Red Cross for earthquake relief in Japan.
I have and I love it!! Feels like find that perfect item on a clearance rack!! I recently bought 2 very vivid printed dust pans (yes dust pans). Great deal and so pretty you don’t have to hide them away. I like finding the unique and different. Looks like this one falls right into my criteria!!
I have bought from groupon, living social, woot and tanga. I got a magazine subscription for next to nothing from tanga! Absolutely worth it! Thanks for the new site!

I purchased a $20 gift card for Amazon for $10 on living social a couple months ago :) Sounds like a fun new deal site, thanks for the heads up!
Yep, watch Groupon and have purchased. We are new in our area so it is a great way to find out about places to go, businesses or activities in the area. Have purchased mostly restaurant coupons. Just tried one deal of the day for product this week on another deal a day and the “deal” price was closer to the quality of the product, so I felt like I got my money’s worth but not a “deal”.
I have to admit that I’ve never even checked one out. You have my curiosity piqued though!
Never have. But I’m not much of an impulse buyer.
Gift Certificates to my favorite local restaraunt…..that was the deal I stole……….thanks for the giveaways & great site!
Hi. I have never bought anything from these sites, but I do get daily e-mails from Etsy and Groupon and they both have some great items. Maybe one day I will be blessed with a daily deal. Have an awesome weekend!
I have purchased deals from half-off to a baby clothing store to car detailing. I love the daily deals!
I’ve gotten 2 deals on Groupon, one to Barnes and Noble and the other to a local smoothie restaurant. Both were great deals!
I get Groupon deals every now and then… mostly, I think they are good reads to find out about places in the area.
I have bought a play kitchen from kids.woot.com, and I just this week bought a shirt from babysteals.com!
I buy Groupon-ish deals all the time! Mostly for food, but just last week I bought 20 Zumba classes across the street from my house for only $20….a $200 value. Score!
I have bought shoes for my son on ZuLilly, they were a from a company I love and such a good deal, so yes I was very happy with the purchase, but it took forever for them to arrive!!
I had never heard of Deal-A-day until your post. Love your site!

I purchased from Etsy once. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.
i’ve bought a couple deals off of groupon or living social but those are usually up for a couple days. i can’t wait to check out these deals though! i love daily deal websites :) thanks!!
I’m a huge deal a dayer! Groupon, steep and cheep, seize the deal, half price depot, 1daysale and more! Idint think I’ve ever been disappointed because I really think before I buy. I also read all of the details! Expiration date, restrictions, limitations, etc. Know the rules first.
Good luck everyone, and thanks for the chance at the amazon cards!
Sure have! I bought a deal for Qdoba Mexican Grill and it worked perfectly for a cheap date night for my husband and I! :)
