I found a fantastic babysitter deal for you. You can get free babysitting by calling your parents or in-laws.

Stay away from them.

you just ruined my favourite sub... unthanks to you

i had to google it just to see if it was true, so long meatball sub,

I have been on a crazy diet the last few months, and that is the single one item I miss the most. And to make matters worse, every time I walk by the Subway in the mall to get a Kelp salad with low fat carrots, and a diet water, I get taunted with that $5 foot long menu, that sub of the gods is on now.

For old times sake....

Footlong meatball on white, with extra cheese, extra mayo, onions, olives, jalapenos, green peppers & salt and pepper.

When you could get 2 for one footlongs after 11 pm back in the 90's, and I was a poor young bachelor, I would buy 4 of these. Eat one as a bedtime snack, and 1 for each meal throughout the next day. Did this 3 or 4 days a week, for about 3 years and the tab was 8 bucks for 4 subs. And amazingly I never crossed 170 lbs. Quitting smoking made me fat, not these delectable sandwiches of death.

Calling that Flames Central deal hot is a bit of a stretch. It is only usable for lunch on a weekday. Given the severe limitation, it actually looks like one of the worst restaurant deals that the deal-of-the-day sites have ever offered.

I can see where you're coming from and agree with your points. It could have been a much better deal if there was less restrictions and if it was for a larger value (Ie. $25 for $50). I still see it as a good deal because I love the place and eat lunch there at least once or twice a month.

Koncept Autoworks dealfinder deal - 4 hours for an oil change, sitting area 10 degrees, and the WORST detail job I have ever seen. After 4 hours of owner apologizing to 4 very pissed customers he then charged us $2.50 gst for the coupon. One customer had been there since 1pm and she left at 7pm. Selling 2200 vouchers and what a scam. Anyone who had bought this deal is in for an experience like no other...

Not only that, they forgot to put the mats back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGHHHH!

Tyler · 02-08-2011, 07:55 PM

As soon as I saw that that deal was from a place in the NE I avoided it like the plague.

Reliable customer service is an unknown in that quadrant.

It's valid in Canada as well. Groupon is running this exact deal across every city in Canada and the US today.

I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. I took my car in last Thursday and thought they did a great job. I dropped my car off in the afternoon and picked it up a couple hours later. I think the sitting area was less then 10 degrees. It was freezing in there!

CKPThunder · 02-09-2011, 01:27 PM

Does anyone have any experience with this Pooq purse hook? Sounds like a good trinket gift for my wife but I have no idea how this can hold a 25lb purse up. How does it stay on the table with that much weight hanging off of it?

My wife has a couple of these and they are very strong and sturdy. These things are very popular in the States. I was in San Francisco a couple months ago and a lot of the nicer restaurants have them on the table and sell them in the washrooms.

I guess I just need to see it. Does it stay up cause it's heavy? Does it have some sort of sticky pad underneath to keep it on the table? Maybe I've been away from physics too long and thus I can't grasp the simplicity of this.

Thanks for the info GFG. I'll think I'll pick up a few.

Travis Munroe · 02-09-2011, 03:05 PM

No sticky pad and not that heavy. Im pretty sure that its designed just perfect so that the weight of the purse pulls directly down on the pad thats on the table. Im considering buying one just to have around for the next time I need a gift lol.

fundmark19 · 02-09-2011, 03:50 PM

They are very handy!

I just had a great customer service experience with groupon.

I bought the flower deal and then they charged me twice so I just sent them an email and they responded back within 15 mins and told me they reversed it for me!
