Why I Started Gary’s Daily Deals (and What I’ve Learned)

Hey there! I’m Gary, the guy behind Gary’s Daily Deals.

If you’ve ever spent hours scrolling through Amazon, adding things to your cart, deleting half of them, and still wondering if you’re getting your money’s worth… then you already know exactly why I started this site.

How It All Started

I’ve always been that person who loves discovering genuinely helpful products, not the hyped-up kind, but the ones that make daily life easier.
Over time, I realized I was spending hours comparing products, reading reviews, and finding the real winners.

So instead of keeping that effort to myself, I began sharing my favorite finds with family and friends — a few links here, a few product tips there.
Their reaction?

“Gary, you should post these somewhere! You’re saving us time and money.”

That’s when Gary’s Daily Deals was born.

My Purpose

This isn’t about promoting every trending gadget or endless product lists.
My goal has always been simple:

Help people shop smarter by sharing deals that are genuinely worth it.

I focus on:

  • Products that solve everyday problems

  • Items that are actually affordable

  • Finds I’d confidently recommend to someone I care about

It’s not about selling, it’s about sharing trustworthy, real-world value.

What I’ve Learned Along the Way 💡

Running this site has taught me a few lessons about both shopping and people:

1. “Practical” Beats “Popular”

The best products aren’t always the ones going viral.
It’s the everyday items, the organizer that keeps your desk clean, the mug that actually stays warm that people appreciate most.

2. Honesty Builds Trust

Readers can tell when you’re just pushing links versus genuinely recommending something.
That’s why I’m transparent: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
But every recommendation here is one I truly stand behind.

3. Simple Design Works Best

People don’t need flashing banners or endless product grids, just clean photos, honest descriptions, and a clear “See Deal” button.

4. Small Wins Add Up

Saving $10 here or finding a better version of something you already use, those small wins make a big difference over time.

A Promise to My Readers

Whether you visit this site daily or just stumble upon it through a search, here’s my promise:

  • You’ll only see products that I believe are worth your time and money.

  • I’ll keep my reviews short, honest, and free of fluff.

  • And if something I recommend stops being great, I’ll remove or replace it.

I know how it feels to waste money on something that looks good online but disappoints in real life. That’s not what Gary’s Daily Deals is about.

Thanks for Being Here 🙌

Gary’s Daily Deals started as a personal project now it’s a space to help smart shoppers like you save time, money, and frustration.
