As long as your callbacks are all synchronous this should work for you, if not put you on the right track

var initiateChain = function () {

    var args = arguments,
        index = 0,
        length = args.length,
        process = function ( index ) {

            if ( index < length ) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: '/example.php',
                    complete: function () {
                        // Callbacks get run here
                        args[ index ];
                        process( ++index );
                    }

                });
            }


        };

    if ( length ) {
        process( 0 );
    }

};

initiateChain( getGadgets, getDeals, getDeals );
