GREAT 50% OFF OFFER at Groupon ~ Ends today!

Today’s Fort Worth Groupon savings offer made my mouth water, so I had to pass it along! For $7, you can get a Groupon gift certificate for half a dozen cupcakes at What’s Up Cupcake in Keller. Depending on the flavor you choose (40 different choices), you can save more than 50% OFF these made-from-scratch bits of bliss with this offer.  I do believe I’ll be trying the signature dark chocolate cupcake topped with rich chocolate buttercream (mmmm!).

Note that you do need to buy the Groupon gift certificate TODAY (the offer is available until midnight), however you can use the certificate  through July 25, 2011.

How to get the offer:

  1. Go here to sign up for today’s What’s Up Cupcake $7 deal at Groupon.
  2. Select Fort Worth as Your Groupon City.
  3. The fine print (only made larger): Expires July 25, 2011.
    Limit 2 per person. Limit of 1 per visit. Subject to availability.

 

                                

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 Nothing Bundt Cakes to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
event tickets ~ 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! :)

Get 25% OFF at Pei Wei When You Help!

Pei Wei (mmm!) is holding a food drive today. To thank those who take part, they are giving 25% OFF any entrée on the menu. Offer good today ~ Thursday, December 16th.

Find a Pei Wei restaurant location near you.

Make a difference in the community.

Even if you aren’t able to make it to Pei Wei, consider making a donation to your local food bank as part of your Christmas giving. Inventories are really low at this time of year, and they could really use the help. 
 
Enjoy and Share! :)
