Groupon Now (Deal Day Tuesday)

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

The key to getting a good "groupon" deal or other similar pre-purchased voucher systems, lies with buying vouchers only for items that you regularly use or places you regularly go.  The perfect example lies in yesterday's lunchtime purchases.

A few weeks ago I saw a new section on groupon's site called Now! Deals I took a quick look around at places in my work and apartment neighborhood took note, and assumed I'd probably never use one.  For those of you unfamiliar,  Now!Deals is a part of the site where you can get groupons that are only valid on the day you buy them, in a certain time window.  More recently I took another look, noticing that pretty much the places did not change.  The thought that crossed my mind, if I ever feel like eating at one of these places, I know where to get a coupon.

Back to yesterday,  I was sitting at my desk, wondering what I should have for lunch.  I hadn't been to Chickpea in a while, and could go for one of their wraps.  Then, I remembered! Chickpea had a Now!Deals.  So I bought the deal, $6 for $9 credit and headed to get lunch.  I picked up a chicken wrap which came out to $8.11 and saved 2 bucks.  If I really wanted to maximize my savings, I could have made a combo that came closer to $9, but was just in the mood for the chicken wrap.

As a side note, I really like Chickpea - so try it if there's one near you.  I highly recommend the falafel wrap with your choice of hummus and toppings.  And the falafel is baked rather than fried, so healthier than a typical falafel joint - although if you like the crunch of a fried one, that might be missed.

May you all save some Sharious dough with these deals.
