TODAY ONLY ~ HOT Groupon for 50% OFF The Brownstone Restaurant (Valid Until Sept. 4)!

Posted on March 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Frugal sidebar: Groupon has come out with some fantastic offers lately! If you haven’t already signed up for their daily emails, you can do so here. Today’s offer is for the Brownstone Restaurant in Fort Worth. I’ve wanted to try this spot since it opened last summer (just bought the groupon and am getting that date night on the calendar, now). Visit Brownstone’s website, here to get a snapshot of the restaurant & menu.

Incredible Deal at Groupon today!

Groupon has launched a terrific offer for 50% OFF at the Brown Stone Restaurant in the snazzy West 7th St. area (one of our favorite parts of Fort Worth to “kick around”). When you buy today’s Groupon, you will get a $40 gift certificate valid for any food purchase, lunch or dinner.

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 September 4, 2011.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s Brownstone Restaurant Groupon deal.
Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City.
Plan your visit and enjoy! :)

The fine print (only made larger): Limit 3 per person. Limit 1 per table. Limit 1 per visit. Dine-in only. Not valid for alcohol. No cash back. Not valid with other offers. See the rules that apply to all Groupon deals.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

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!

Here’s how it works:

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! :)
