Like using a gift card, using a Groupon eliminates some of the guilt of depleting your bank account. It just doesn't feel like you're spending money. Looking into Groupons for your area is a great way to save a little cash and try some new things. Or you could buy them in bulk if you so choose. Think of it as meal planning. There's really something for every occasion I promise. Here are four Groupons for Victoria, BC to prove it: 

For yourself...

Famoso Pizzeria is basically giving you $10 for free to go wild and have anything you want. For $15 you get $25 to spend on anything from their amazing pizzas to the desserts they have to offer.

For a date...

What is more romantic than a fluorescent-lit burger dinner for two. Fatburger's got you covered with their $16 offer including two cheeseburgers AND two orders of fries because you can't cheap out on romance. Go ahead and pretend you paid the whole price. 

For your own entertainment...

Bet you thought Groupon was only good for restaurants and services. They also offer a very diverse range of products you can treat yourself to. My personal favourite is this elaborate cookie press with 20 different discs and 4 icing nozzles. For only $19 the possibilities are endless.

For the gift no one needs...

Finally, who wouldn't love a custom laser-etched cutting board. There is (probably) no occasion that this (maybe) can't be adapted for is the answer to all you gift giving problems, guaranteed.

Groupon actually proves to be a gold mine for both useful and useless (but thoroughly entertaining) products. It helps to check back often - for your convenience there is an app of course. There are alway's new offers, so go ahead and try something new.
