Get the real deal! (shameless plug) 8-}

Have y'all checked out Groupon yet? It's my favourite 'deal' site ever! All the others I've seen offer discounts on ski jackets or designer bags or spa days... I reckon those are nice enough for people who will actually use them. But I just can't see forking over what would buy a month's groceries for a purse with somebody else's name on it.

Groupon, on the other hand, comes up with what I consider relevant offers. So far, I've treated Duller to a couple of really nice lunches within reasonable distance from his office. We even got a half-price deal for our favourite local healthy-eats coop! Boy, did I ever get excited over that one! AND we have tickets to the museum. Not your ordinary be-quiet-walk-through-look-at-the-walls kinda museum. This one is all outdoorsy, with a natural habitat zoo and historical buildings. I've always loved this place, but hardly ever get to visit. Now we're all going for half price!

I'll never forget our first visit. There were chickens and such wandering around and we happened upon two roosters in the midst of a little spat. A guinea hen was running around them, trying her best to get them to talk it out like reasonable adults. Finally, she just jumped in between them and broke it up. That was over 20 years ago and we still laugh about it. And I still lament my lack of a video camera! 8-}

Anyhow, why not see what they have in your area? Haven't you always wanted to jump out of a plane? How about for less than half price? Yes, Groupon has a few of those not-for-everybody deals, as well. But check back tomorrow and they're likely to have just what you've been looking for.

Chicken for a BAWK?!

If you haven't heard, Boston Market has a super coupon deal going on this week. You get a quarter white or three pieces of dark with mashed potatoes (here, they let you choose a different side) and cornbread for a buck. This one expires on 1 November. There are other coupons here, as well. You might want to get there early in the day. Duller tried around noon and after work and both times there were unbelievable crowds waiting in line. He said about 60 people in front of him and by the time he got to the counter, as many behind and more coming. Just as he got up to second in line, they announced they were out of dark meat, cornbread and most sides. Wonder if it's that way all over.
