I follow a variety of sites in addition to checking daily deals.
I check the following sites for local deals they also do the grocery coupons so this may not be for everyone:
Freebies2Deals
Utah Deal Diva
I also check Slick Deals for online deals. This site posts the deals as they learn of them, and when it is a hot deal they add a little fire icon at the end. If you are interested in the deal click on it and it will expand to give more details, and from there you can click into comments. The comments often are thank yous for sharing the deal, but can also contain online codes that can or cannot be used at check out time. At times I can also learn which cash back site is offering the highest percent back. When the deal is no longer available it becomes gray, in case you were trying to decide to grab the deal.
Deal Catcher is another site similar to Slick Deals. It also has a toolbar for Black Friday.
