LivingSocial Versus Groupon: Which has the Best Deals

Livingsocial and Groupon.ie are two of the biggest names in daily deals, but which one will win in the battle of the daily deal providers?

Variety is one of the most important aspects of any daily deal provider's service. While there are some great specialist daily deals providers that have one main area - such as health and beauty specialist Wahanda - most daily deals websites need to offer variety to keep a broad spectrum of customers interested.

The range of categories that deals can be offered in is vast and varied. The following are some of the main ones that both Groupon.ie and livingsocial offer, with examples of deals from each provider to compare:

Health and Beauty

Health and beauty deals will be forever popular, as many people are having to cut back on indulgent essentials such as salon trips as purse strings get tightened.

Everyone knows how great a good haircut or manicure can make you feel, so it's good news that these don't need to be cut out completely. Daily deals providers regularly offer a wide variety of pampering beauty treatments, from cuts, colours and conditioning treatment for luscious tresses, to relaxing massages to pummel away the stresses of every day life.

Groupon - Health and Beauty

Groupon website CityDeal.ie recently offered a wash, cut and blow dry at 58 per cent off, at fashionable Dublin salon, The Powder Room Girls. This salon is so fashion forward that its address reads '45 Fashion City' so trendsetters know where to take their tresses for a cut price cut.

Livingsocial - Health and Beauty

Livingsocial regularly offers deals on teeth whitening, and one recent deal for a home teeth whitening kit offered exceptional value at a massive 80 per cent discount. Bargain hunters in search of those elusive pearly whites could choose from a regular or premium kit from DivineWhite to removes stains without time-consuming and expensive trips to the dentist.

The Break Away

Overnight stays, mini-breaks and holidays are very popular on daily deals websites, as time-poor and stressed out bargain hunters seek relaxing and exciting ways to spend their precious weekends.

Check D3ALS.ie, or subscribe to the D3ALS email service and you're sure to find a fantastic mini-break that will be just what you need to blow the cobwebs away and start a new busy week refreshed, relaxed and revived.

Groupon - Mini-Breaks

Groupon is not only a front-runner when it comes to great value mini-breaks, but it's also a great place to find fantastic 'maxi-breaks'. Groupon Getaways is an amazing strand of the Groupon brand which offers cut price holidays going everywhere from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, with flight deals often going from Dublin for extra convenience for Irish customers.

One example of a great Groupon mini-break is the recent two night stay for two with breakfast and leisure facilities at the four star Ramada Hotel and Suites in Lough Allen. Typical of the local mini-breaks on offer, these cut price stays from Groupon are perfect for those times when you need to find a quick and easy hideaway that's not too far away from home.

When you explore Groupon Getaways however you're faced with some much further flung destinations. Villa breaks in Gran Canaria and the Med are popular at the moment, as well as a half board stay for two with flights at a four star hotel in Tuscany.

With ski, sun and city breaks all regularly featured, there's a groupon getaway for every holidaymaker looking for some low cost fun abroad.

Livingsocial - Mini-Breaks

It's not just hotels or villas that are on offer from livingsocial. Those looking for a mini break with a difference should keep their eyes peeled for deals such as the recent two night stay in a Yurt! Similar to a posh tent, a yurt has everything you need inside for a comfortable break, even when staying in a field! These particular yurts at Castletown, County Westmeath even have their own double bed and log burning fires!

As well as great deals on getaways, and fantastic offers on health and beauty deals, both Groupon.ie and livingsocial also offer discounted gifts and gadgets, meals out and more, meaning that everyone who visits the D3ALS.ie website will find the perfect deal for them from these two top daily deals providers.

When it comes to choosing which one is better, there's no need to make that decision. D3ALS.ie brings you the best deals from both providers, meaning that you'll be able to easily find what you are looking for, no matter which provider is offering that particular deal.
