9 Best Websites & Apps to Score Local Deals Near You in 2026

The best apps for local deals in 2026 are Groupon for discounted restaurants, spas and activities, Flipp for every grocery and drugstore flyer near you, Flashfood and Too Good To Go for cut-price groceries and surplus restaurant food, and Upside, Ibotta and Rakuten for cash back at nearby stores, gas stations and restaurants. Most work in both the US and Canada; the sections below say which ones don't.

DealHack

Best for: promo codes at national chains with stores near you.

DealHack doesn't sell local vouchers. It lists current promo codes and sales for national retailers and restaurant chains, which helps when you order online for pickup at a nearby store, for example from Walmart or Domino's. Search for the store on DealHack before you pay.

Groupon

Best for: restaurants, spas, fitness classes and activities.

Groupon sells prepaid vouchers for local businesses in the US and Canada. You buy the voucher in the app or on the site and show it at the business. Each deal lists an expiration date and limits, such as which days or services it covers, so read them before you buy. DealHack's Groupon page lists sitewide codes that can lower the price further.

RetailMeNot

Best for: in-store coupons and cash back at national chains (US).

RetailMeNot lists promo codes and scannable in-store coupons for national retailers and restaurant chains. Its RetailMeNot Rewards app, launched in August 2026, adds cash back at participating retailers, with limited-time boosts such as the App Week offers it ran in September 2026.

LivingSocial, now part of Groupon

LivingSocial is no longer a separate place to look.

Groupon bought LivingSocial in 2016 and later closed its remaining offices, according to Wikipedia. The experience deals it was known for, such as classes, tours and events, are the kind you now find on Groupon.

Flipp

Best for: weekly grocery and drugstore flyers (US and Canada).

Flipp puts the weekly flyers from stores near you in one app, lets you search for an item across all of them and clip coupons to your store loyalty cards. Add items to the shopping list and Flipp shows where each one is cheapest this week.

Flashfood

Best for: groceries near their best-before date (US and Canada).

Flashfood sells fresh produce, meat and other groceries close to their best-before date for up to 50% off. You pay in the app and pick up at the store. Partners include Kroger, Loblaws, Meijer and Giant Eagle.

Too Good To Go

Best for: surplus food from bakeries, cafes and grocery stores (US and Canada).

Too Good To Go sells Surprise Bags of unsold food that most businesses price at about a third of its regular value, according to Money Pantry's July 2026 review. You don't choose the exact contents, and pickup is usually in the last 30 to 60 minutes before closing.

Upside

Best for: cash back on gas, groceries and restaurants nearby (US).

Claim an offer in the Upside app for a nearby gas station, grocery store or restaurant, pay with your usual credit or debit card, and the cash back is added to your Upside account. Upside says its cash back comes on top of card and loyalty rewards, and you can cash out to a bank account, PayPal or a gift card.

Apps that no longer help with local deals

Two names from older lists of local deal apps are worth skipping.

Yipit stopped aggregating consumer deals and now operates as YipitData, a data provider for investors and retailers.

Honey (PayPal Honey) applies promo codes at online checkouts. It has no local or in-store deals.

Ibotta

Best for: grocery cash back (US).

Ibotta pays cash back on groceries and everyday purchases, in store and online. Add offers in the app before you shop, then link your store loyalty account or upload your receipt to get paid. It pairs well with Flipp: find the sale in Flipp, then check Ibotta for an offer on the same item.

Rakuten

Best for: cash back at participating restaurants and stores (US).

Rakuten is best known for online cash back, but its In-Store & Dining Cash Back pays you for eligible purchases at participating stores and restaurants once you link a card and add the offers. In Canada, Rakuten.ca offers cash back on online shopping.

How to combine local deal apps

• Groceries: check Flipp for the week's lowest price, clip the store's loyalty coupon, then add an Ibotta offer if there is one. Buy near-date items on Flashfood when you will use them within a day or two.
• Gas: claim an Upside offer before you fill up and pay with a card that earns rewards.
• Eating out: compare a Groupon voucher with a Rakuten dining offer or an Upside restaurant offer for the same place, and use the one that saves more.
• Chain stores: check DealHack for a code when you order online for pickup.

Local deals in Canada

Canadian shoppers have fewer cash back apps, but the local options still work. Flipp covers flyers from Canadian grocers and drugstores, Flashfood runs at participating Loblaws stores, Too Good To Go operates in major Canadian cities, and Groupon.ca lists local vouchers. For drugstore savings, see our guide to saving at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Read the fine print before you buy

• Expiration dates: Groupon vouchers show an expiration date and usage limits, so buy only what you will use in time.
• Pickup windows: Too Good To Go and Flashfood orders are collected at the store, often in a set time window.
• Activation: card-linked offers from Rakuten and Upside need to be claimed or added before you pay.
