The Top 20 Group Buying Sites

Yes, I admit it.  I am a self-proclaimed neat-freak deal-addict.  The thrill I get from saving even just a few dollars is borderline creepy and I’m sure my friends probably get tired of hearing me start sentences with “So I had a Groupon…”.  I can’t help it.  I love saving money.  And you should, too.  Because, ultimately,

the more money you save, the more money you have to spend…

or to actually save (as in an actual savings account or even (gasp!) a retirement account).   Getting to the point, one of the best ways I’ve found to save money is through the power of group buying.  By now, we’ve all heard of Groupon, the pioneer of Group Buying websites, but what are the other group buying websites you should be using in your quest to save money doing the things you love? I’ve compiled this list of my favorite 20 Group Buying websites (excluding Groupon).  You’ll definitely want to check each of these out:
