My First Groupon Experience! It went well!

Tweet

Groupon is a website that offers vouchers at a discounted price to your local businesses and services. For example you will see deals like: - $5 for 2 small yogurts - $12 for $20 worth of food - $25 for $50 worth of 2-hour kayaking A few weeks ago, I received an email for $10 off any voucher. I browsed through food spots within my county and found $11 for $20 worth of food (a healthy grilled/organic spot) I ended up paying only $1 after the coupon so it's worth a shot right? Yesterday, my boyfriend and I was in that area so we stopped by. I was familiar with the store but never purchased anything. When I approached the cashier - I told her I was new and had a groupon to redeem. She was very nice and explained the menu, recommendations and overall very helpful! We ordered a bowl of half brown rice/white rice and grilled angus beef. Side of grilled chicken and side of grilled angus beef to bring home and eat since we had rice at home already. Then, I only reached $17 and the voucher is for $20. So she said I had to use the entire voucher and offered me to get a drink or another meal. We got a Zico bottled coconut water and ended up getting a free meal! I tipped in the jar for great customer service. I would definitely purchase from Groupon again, but be sure to read all fine prints when purchasing! For instance photo deals are great but shipping isn't included, so you would want to check out the website for shipping costs. Have you ever used Groupon? How was your experience?
