In today’s economy, most of us are not willing to pay full price for an item when deal and discount websites abound.  I actually subscribe to quite a few sites because each has something different to offer. Whether it’s an hour-long massage at a local spa or a toy my son has at the top of his wish list, discount sites offer unique, time-limited deals on popular products and services across the country.

I was recently introduced to Gaggle of Chicks, a website offering daily deals on the best products and services for moms and their families.  The site, which primarily focuses on New York City products and services, recently launched a nationwide edition.  Past deals include a playhouse from Box Creations for $15 (regularly priced at $39.99), fifty percent off Tali Gillette Jewelry, and fifty percent off wall art from Vinyl Attraction.

Gaggle of Chicks works a little differently than most deal websites in that they use a social approach to buying.  Enough moms have to sign up for a deal in order for it to become part of the “Gaggle.”  Once that happens, it “hatches” for everyone to receive that discount. (which can be up to 70% off).  After 48 hours, the deal expires so timeliness is of the essence.

The products and services you’ll find on Gaggle of Chicks are approved by a network of moms and include everything from baked goods and beauty products to children’s classes and mommy boot camps.  I am excited about the possibility of launching a Southern California based edition because I’m very interested in local services like restaurants and spas.

Visitors who make a purchase will receive a referral code to send to friends that will earn them $10 every time someone makes their first Gaggle purchase.  And those you invite will also receive a $10 credit so it’s a win-win for both of you!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Gaggle of Chicks and received a $50 gift code for the website to facilitate this review.
