By now I’m sure you’ve heard of the plot by group-buying sites to take over the world, and Gaggle of Chicks has stepped up to throw their hat into the majorly-discounted ring. This group-buying site, however, is targeting moms specifically. I mean, let’s face it, we rule the roost and make the majority of purchasing decisions in the household. So, in familiar fashion, a deal on Gaggle of Chicks “hatches” after several moms purchase the deal.

The products are not just for moms, however, but fit for everyone in the family. From children’s clothes to skincare products to baked goods, there is a little something to suit all of your needs. Originally Gaggle Of Chicks was only a NYC based site, but they have now expanded to include nationwide deals as well. The deals expire after only 48 hours, so time is of the essence! You can work on getting some of your deals free, too, if you invite friends to try the service. For every friend you refer that makes a purchase, you get a $10 credit. You friends also get a $10 credit to Gaggle Of Chicks as soon as they sign up!

The current New York deal has me drooling – half-off of a skin-care package (which still costs a whopping $249). I’ve noticed that several of the deals are a bit pricey, especially the local New York deals, while the nationwide deals tend to be more affordable. However, I’m not necessarily saying that this is a bad thing – the discount on high-end items gives me the chance to purchase or afford something that I normally wouldn’t be able to.

The Gaggle Of Chicks website is adorable, and easy to navigate. As we say in geek-speak, the user experience is a good one. I was given a gift card to try out the service, but had a short time frame in which to publish my review, and feel I should tell you that while I haven’t purchased anything from Gaggle of Chicks yet, I’m totally planning to – it’s just that nothing on the site in the past week has been able to float my boat.

You can win a $100 credit to try out Gaggle of Chicks yourself! To enter, just head over to Gaggle of Chicks and sign up to try out the service (it’s free!), then come back here and leave a comment letting me know that you did! Bonus entries if you invite your friends to try the service too – let me know in a separate comment that you have invited 3 or more friends (the Gaggle of Chicks folks will verify this) and you will receive a bonus entry!

This contest ends on February 24th, 2011 at 11:59pm CST. US residents only, please. Good luck!
