$25 for $50 Worth of Organic, Local, and Sustainable Groceries with Free Delivery from Greenling

Without grocers, urbanites would have to grow their own pumpkins in window boxes and spend hours negotiating with the family parakeet until it agreed to be milked. Let rural bounty come to you with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of organic, local, and sustainable groceries with free delivery from Greenling . First orders for Greenling groceries require a $10 deposit for the recyclable bins that the food is delivered in; the deposit will be refunded when the bin is returned. Check the map , list of zip codes , or use Greenling ‘s zip code finder to see if they deliver in your area. Hailed as Best Local Food Company by the Austin Chronicle three years running, Greenling replenishes the kitchens of the greater Dallas area with certified organic, local, and sustainable goods. Greenling’s grocers curate freshly harvested wares from more than 50 local producers to assemble bins, which keep food chilled for up to four hours after morning or evening deliveries and brim with pre-arranged selections or buyer-picked treats. Like a sassy jack-in-the-box, Local Boxes spring open to reveal the week’s freshest fare, such as Texas grapefruit or cremini mushrooms ($34.99). Home cooks can feed a pair of hungry sock puppets with wholesome dinners from seasonal two-meal kits—such as pizza bianco with bratwurst—which can be prepared in 30 minutes or less using pre-measured ingredients and clear instructions ($24.99). Online shelving brims with grass-fed Angus ground beef ($6.99/pound), chunks of smoked gouda cheese ($7.25), and Empire Baking Co.’s baguettes with crispy, caramel-colored crusts that give way to soft interiors ($3.25/loaf). Free delivery keeps the cost of re-stuffing refrigerators down, and buyers can set the reusable bins out to be collected by a team of house elves or Greenling’s delivery staff when their next order arrives.

$19 for Outing for Family of Six to Piccadilly Circus in Denton (Up to $40.95 Value). Six Shows Available.

Without a circus in town, audiences would have to quench their thirst for aerial thrills by watching window cleaners eating sandwiches on their lunch breaks. Take in flashier stunts with today’s GrouponLive deal to see the Piccadilly Circus at the Diamond T Arena in Denton. For $19, you get a family outing for general-admission seating (up to a $40.95 value). The outing includes the following: Two adult tickets (up to a $40.95 value, including all ticketing fees) Four tickets for children younger than 13 (free with the purchase of an adult ticket, though typically limited to three passes per ticket) Choose from the following performances: Saturday, February 4, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, February 4, at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, February 4, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, February 5, at 1 p.m. Sunday, February 5, at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, February 5, at 6 p.m. Celebrating its 25th year, Piccadilly Circus delights family audiences around the country with its touring spectacle of suspenseful thrills and slapstick laughs. The 90-minute extravaganza rolls out such death-defying acts as motorcyclists somersaulting through the air on their bikes, contortionists impossibly bending their limbs, and middle-aged men cutting back on their sodium intake. A menagerie of exotic animals also moseys across the arena floor, with an elephant balancing its leathery bulk on one stout foot and a rare white tiger prowling before the crowd. As cirque artists, soaring aerialists, and zany clowns unpack their bags of tricks, spectators may feel pangs of regret about youthful decisions to run away from the circus and enroll in actuarial school. Though Piccadilly Circus offers a buy-one, get-one promotion and a coupon for free children’s admission, this Groupon still represents the best deal.
