Groupon Rules!

Incase you've yet to jump on the Groupon band wagon, I highly suggest you stop reading this blog post right now, head on over to Groupon.com and sign yourself up (then of course come on back and read the rest).

If your town isn't listed, sign up for the closest major city near you, you'll likely get some good deals in your own town. I've signed up for the Calgary Groupon notifications, but I've saved a bunch of mola in my own town, on hair cuts, restaurants, hotels for friends and family + sometimes there are national discounts for chain stores.

The other day there was a Groupon for Eddie Burger in Banff. I've been trying to get Joshua to check out this place for months as I've heard nothing but rave reviews, but he's so attached to the Banff Ave. Brewing Company that I've yet to succeed, until Groupon came along to help.

I purchased the Groupon on Thursday, and on Friday night we went for a date in Banff to check it out. For $27 we got an appetizer, two burgers & two beers (J had to drink both of them, clearly). That's less than the price of two burgers! The food was amazing, and the environment is so relaxing and chill. We enjoyed it so much, that on our way out, I opened up the Groupon app on my iPhone and purchased another one, so that we can go back and try something else.

I had the veggie burger, which was, by far, one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. I gave J a taste and he even liked it. And that salad there, not just any regular house salad, AMAZING! I'm not sure what kind of dressing they use, but it was delish.

Joshua had the Red, White & Blue burger (yes, that's an english muffin instead of bun, genius), he said it was fantastic. The fries were homemade, which is the best kind of fry.
