The Morning Roundup 5/1/2012

Steve May 1, 2012

A limited selection of some okay deals here on May 1st.  Though all of these would be great if you lived in Southern Maryland.  Maybe it will take a bit for the month to ramp up.  Fingers Crossed.

Fifty-Fifty: I will definitely be getting this deal for %50 off of Tanad Thai up to $20 in Tenleytown.  This is because I live in Tenleytown.  For the rest if you, its standard scoutmob.  Get it if you are nearby or love Thai.  This new restaurant’s previous iteration, 4912 Thai was something of a Thai food staple for those who frequent the no mans land between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights.

The Morning Roundup 4/27/2012

Evan April 27, 2012

It’s time to say goodbye and good riddance to this week, which has been pretty terrible for deals.  Today is no exception, with nothing particularly great coming your way. Here’s hoping next week shapes up a little bit better.

[UPDATE] Must Buy: Cafe Sazon in Arlington dropped a last minute fantastic deal on us. Groupon has three deals to pick from but we’re recommending the $33 for a dinner for 4. For $8.25 you get an entree, a dessert, and a drink. WHAT?!? The food must have to be terrible. Not so.

The Morning Roundup 4/26/2012

Happy Thursday y’all. The weather outside is not looking so hot today. Similary, the deals aren’t looking so hot. Like the nice weather, the good deals will come again. I promise.

Must Buy UPDATE: Groupon came out with a new deal late in the game and it’s a winner: $20 for $40 to Lebanese Taverna. I love Lebanese food and although it’s a bit pricey here, the quality is good and you’ll easily be able to get two entrees with this deal. And given the quality of this week’s deal, this one is a certainly a must buy.

The Morning Roundup 4/23/2012

Evan April 23, 2012

Slim pickings this morning, folks.  A couple of decent offers but nothing great, and a couple of definite avoids.  Here’s hoping the rest of the week looks better.

Fifty-Fifty: Today’s Scoutmob for Thai at Corner in Arlington is a pretty good deal if you’re looking for a quick dine-in lunch for one: you’ll end up with some fairly well-reviewed Thai food for only about $5.  If you’re looking for dinner for two, though, the deal’s value drops significantly, and nothing about Thai at Corner suggests it’s a location to go out of your way for.

The Morning Roundup 04/19/2012

After a brief hiatus, I’m back on The Morning Roundup (I was out West, you’ll hear more about that later). And as if somehow the gods of the deal knew I was returning today, we’ve got some good ones for you:

Must Buy: Capitol Deal’s $20 for $40 at The Cajun Experience features so many added perks it’s astounding. In addition to the money, it’s available for Sunday’s bottomless mimosa brunch AND if you go between Monday-Wednesday you get 50% off a bottle of wine.

To the deals!

Fifty-Fifty:  H Street Country Club is a fixture on the Atlas District, and today’s Groupon can get you $20 for $40 for food, drinks, and games.  While the Mexican-style menu has received pretty good reviews, we wouldn’t recommend buying this just for dinner.  But if you’re interested in getting a burrito, a margarita, and playing some mini-golf, this deal may be too good to pass up.

 

Fifty-Fifty: Marx Cafe may call itself revolutionary, but today’s Scoutmob deal isn’t.

The Morning Roundup 04/16/2012

Evan April 16, 2012

Nothing too spectacular this morning, but there’s a couple of deals that may be worth your attention, and one you shouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.  Here’s the roundup:

Fifty-Fifty: The Capitol Deal’s offer of $15.50 for an entree and unlimited mimosas or bloody marys at Ulah Bistro is real tempting.  Ulah Bistro serves up a delicious brunch – I recommend the Eggs Chesapeake – and is a great place to spend a Saturday morning/early afternoon.  That being said, this deal is only worth it for the drinks.

Happy Saturday everyone. What you thought we wouldn’t hit you with the roundup on the weekend? Well here we are and we got deals for you. The weekend morning roundups may skew toward early afternoon roundups, but we’ll be bringing the freshest deals your way every weekend morning.

Must Buy/Fifty-Fifty: Groupon’s offering a $49 meal for two to The Wild Orchid Cafe. Four courses for $49. Now why isn’t this solely a must buy? The only reason is because it’s not the district (which is the point of this blog).

The Morning Roundup Good Friday/Passover Edition

Micah April 6, 2012

Good morning everyone. I hope you had fantastic opening day. I feasted on some delicious barbecue and watched the Reds cruise to victory so it was quite a day.

Let’s get to the deals.

Must Buy: Scoutmob’s got the deal of the day. 50% off at LeoNora Bakery in Clarendon may not be the most money you can save today, but the quality likely can’t be beat. Maybe it’s just me gearing up for Passover, but really good freshly baked baguettes are always a treat.  LeoNora’s signature baguette is infused with bacon and gruyere, which is an unbeatable combo.

Welcome to The Morning Roundup

Micah April 4, 2012

Good morning readers. Welcome to our first ever morning roundup. Evan explained it to you yesterday in his introductory post, but I’ll repeat for those of you that didn’t read it (shame on you!) or need a refresher. Every morning we’re going to attempt to make sense of the all the daily deals that flood your inbox. The notable deals (we won’t flood you with every single food deal on offer) will be labelled with Must-Buy, Fifty-Fifty, and Avoid. The sites we’ll focus on (because we have to draw the line somewhere) are: LivingSocial, Groupon, Scoutmob, Google Offers, and The Capitol Deal.
