Frugal sidebar: A friend of mine recently brought a lemon cake from “Nothing Bundt Cakes” to a party, and *mmmmmm* it was pure bliss! If you need a cake for an upcoming occasion, today’s Fort Worth Groupon is a great deal and from a bakery I highly recommend. Read more about them, here.
Groupon has launched a great offer for 50% OFF at Nothing Bundt Cakes. When you buy today’s Groupon, you will get a $20 gift certificate valid for any Nothing Bundt Cakes Purchase at either the Fort Worth or Southlake locations.
There is a limited quantity of these gift certificates available, so you might not want to wait if you plan to take advantage of this. <I just bought mine! :) >
Note that you do need to buy the gift certificate TODAY (the offer expires
at midnight EST), however you can use the certificate anytime, through May 22, 2011.
The fine print (only made larger): Limit 1 per person. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for location purchased. In-store only. Must use in 1 visit. Not valid with other offers. See the rules that apply to all Groupon deals.
A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.
Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. Fort Worth is the 51st city launch for Groupon, and
in the last month, I’ve seen their offers include everything from
50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tours to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
carpet cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between!
1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.
2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!
3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer!
Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.
Enjoy and Share! :)
