Website Aims to Help Cape Codders Save Money, Promote Small Business

The creators of Cape Cod Daily Deal say their website is a "win-win," helping both small business owners and customers Cape-wide.

Looking to save money? Perhaps you can stop clipping coupons.

Meet Cape Cod Daily Deal, a website that offers special discounts at various small businesses across Cape Cod. The specials change daily and offer deals on everything from croissants to hair cuts.

Based out of North Chatham, the website was created in Aug. 2011 when Stephen Williams, of Harwich, and Brett Tendler, of Centerville, wanted to support local businesses and help people save money.
