While deal-generating websites like LivingSocial and Groupon continue to grow in popularity, so do the chances that their coupon-hungry consumers will leave feeling the company’s offers were too good to be true.
There was a bargain-happy hum around Washington Friday as LivingSocial attained the blessing of over one hundred D.C. restaurants to offer $1 lunch deals.
According to the mass email sent to its many free subscribers around the city, the ‘there’s rarely such thing as a $1 lunch’ concept was intended to not only take the edge off tax day, but to promote LivingSocial Instant, the company’s new program for patrons to access—you guessed it—instant deals.
Eighteen Georgetown eateries participated in offering the temporary dollar menu that ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. citywide. At most restaurants, $1 would buy $10 worth of food and drink, while others, like Georgetown’s Paper Moon and Taj of India, offered as much as $25 worth of menu items.
