Marked for 'dealetion'

Remember what Mamma Gump said ? "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’ll get." And when you get it, you don’t know what’s it’s like until you take a bite. Deal sites are no different. I think I am an astute shopper but I’ve picked some bad apples on deal sites.
My deal-reveal blog this weekend is about 2 failed deals we landed up with in the past 6 months. I should lay down a disclaimer here that if you like one of these places, sue me. Or actually, don’t sue me. This is just coming from personal experience.
Although we did not “redeem” our deal at either of these places, I think our “near-redemption” stories are somewhat amusing and might be worth telling. Truth is, hubby has been pushing me to write about them this week, “instead of just bragging about the good ones”, and he won’t stop nagging me until I do.
So, here goes nothing.
