Groupon.fr - tips

We have subscribed to groupon in france since summer 2011 and watch it regularly to see if there are worthwhile restaurant groupons. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Suggestions include being very careful. Look at restaurant menu on line to ensure that it is a good deal, as sometimes it isn't. Take a look at reviews in tripadvisor to see if it is a restaurant that interests you, in the right location, so you are not wasting money. On this trip, for example, we want to remain flexible, depending on how I feel, weather, when we want to cook versus eat out, so groupons are not high on our priority list. We've had some good luck here in NJ with groupons, including the daily ones which you have to use that day for a quick inexpensive lunch or dinner. But these are restaurants we know in towns we know and are convinced it is a good deal. So, as an overall statement, groupon can be a good deal, with proper research and planning.
