On a personal note: We so enjoyed using our Groupon for Classic Cafe the first time they ran this offer several months ago, that we are purchasing the Groupon again. The food was melt-in-your-mouth incredible and service great ~ we are ready to go back again! There is a nice range of choices on the menu, but for those “meat & potato” folks, their beef is all grain-fed and raised for them ~ in fact, the lady at the table next to us at lunch said they made the best hamburger she has ever had. It was huge!
Groupon has launched a savings offer of 50% OFF Lunch or Dinner at The Classic Cafe in Roanoke. When you buy today’s Groupon for $10, you will get a gift certificate for $20 towards lunch or for $30 you will get $60 towards dinner at The Classic Cafe ~ valid until November 17, 2011.
How to get the Offer:

Earlier this year, I wrote an independent review on SniqueAway, Trip Advisor’s free travel bargain site (go here to read). Since we are on the fringes of the busy travel season, I want to pop these folks back on your radar as you make your vacation plans. They have been offering lots of deep discounts on some great 4 & 5-Star rated hotels around the world. In fact, two of the hotels this week are right here in Texas: Austin’s Barton Creek Resort & Spa (40% OFF) and the Grand Hotel in McKinney (35% OFF).
Membership to SniqueAway is FREE, but you have to be invited to join (and you are officially invited by Frugal in Fort Worth!) :)
This week, SniqueAway launched a new “secret sale” that has my interest piqued. When you share this sale with 5 friends, you get access to a 4.5 Star Hotel for $25 a night! I have no idea where this hotel will be located (we are so very curious!), but on Friday, June 10, SniqueAway will reveal the destination and booking availability at this cheap rate. If you are planning a family vacation, but are still choosing a location, this is worth considering as an option.
If you haven’t already signed up for SniqueAway, you can sign up & join here (FREE)!
Learn more about SniqueAway here or go here for our review of our experience with SniqueAway (and why we like it so much!).
