Two New Deal Sites!

There are two new deal sites for the Baltimore area!

• CityCents
• This is different from the other deal sites because you don't need to put any money down in order to get a deal.  Additionally, merchants are only charged $2.50 for each coupon, as opposed to a percentage.
  
• As well as a regular deal, which is usually half-off a local establishment, they offer other ways to save.  After a certain amount of people have claimed the deal, there are other discounts (like a $10 Target gift card) that are unlocked and can be bid on.  The amount of bids you have depend on the amount of times you've claimed the regular deal.  HOWEVER, you can also purchase one of the side bids.  It's confusing, I know, but take a look at the website and you'll be able to figure it out!
  
• Current Deal: 50% off food and drink at Sly Fox Pub (maximum discount at $15)
• Deals for Deeds
• While still offering discounts, this company donates a portion of each purchase to a local non-profit
• For at least the first several weeks while the voting portal is active, a minimum of 5% of every deal will be contributed to the Deals For Deeds Baltimore Community Fund, which will then be distributed to the 12 non- profit partners pro-rata based on the number of votes they receive. The initial 12 Deals For Deeds Baltimore non-profits partners are:
• Back On My Feet of Baltimore
• Baltimore BORN
• Baltimore Child Abuse Center
• Baltimore Humane Society
• Community Law in Action
• Downtown Baltimore Family Alliance
• Hand in Hand
• Parks and People
