Daily Deal: Sweet Home Chicago

August is the most important month of the year.
You want proof, huh?
Well, first of all - it has the unique privilege of counting 31 days even though it's preceded by another 31-day month. Check on your knuckles if you don't believe me. Or on your calendars.
It's all true.

Then, it's the peak of the summer. Ripe fruits, grilled meat, lazy afternoons on the beach, sun, beer gardens and mosquitoes are all there for your entertainment, and you know you love them. It's not even that different on the other side of the pond: replace the hamburgers by merguez (spicy lamb sausages), and beer, by pastis (anise alcoholic drink, aka as the French ouzo, raki or sambuca) and you have it. Even the mosquitoes are the same. Word.

And this year, on August 1st - Chicago will have the incredible privilege to welcome Daily Deal.
How do I know this?
Simply because I have been asked to let you know about it. Since I am nice and gracious I accepted; and oh - there was this little $25 gift card enticement that helped too....but shhhhh....

So here is the skinny on this new kid on the block:
- you'll buy vouchers on line to redeem them at all your local favorite haunts - bars, restaurants, stores, theaters, you name it. It changes every day. It's exciting every day. You'll want it every day.

- with Daily Deal, spending is saving. You are guaranteed to save at the very least 50% on your purchase. To make it clear - and if like me math is not your forte - you buy a deal for $50 = you can spend at least $100 at the business highlighted that day.
Too good to be true?!? Not on your life. That's the naked truth.

- of course you have already heard that song. There is more than one bird on this tree. Ok, yeah, you may be right. But with Daily Deal you are the master of your destiny (and who doesn't like feeling powerful?!?); whatever happens, you get your d-e-a-l. You don't have to care about the others: you buy, you own. No minimum, no quotas, no headache: freedom.
Cheers to that!!

The cherry on this already delicious cake: go to www.dailydealchicago.com today and before August 1st and you have a chance to win a $100 Apple Gift Card. Not quite enough for the iPhone4 but that's a start. Don't be too greedy, geez!!!

And since we are talking social media, you can also follow them on Twitter and Facebook. Of course.

So yes....August is THE month.
Have I mentioned that it's also my birthday on the 17th?
