Plum Market Groupon deal

Note to readers:  pay attention to the fine print for Groupon deals!  Soooooo, my Plum Market Groupon was actually restricted to the bakery section of their store.  The bakery was fairly large and filled with artisan breads, specialty pies, petite fours, and individual-sized cakes.  Since I'm meeting up with girlfriends later tonight to celebrate my bestie's 32nd, I figured I'd just pick up something sweet for her.  So, tonight she'll eat, drink, be merry, and have cupcakes:

That's the red velvet cupcake, the chocolate mocha in the center, and (at the behest of the baker who packaged my cupcakes: "OMG Everyone LOVES the bubble top--seriously.  No seriously...") the bubble top chocolate cupcake to the right.  Since Plum Market is an organic store, there are no supremely odd additives in their baked goods (some of which are actually provided by Zingerman's Bakery--a name that might be familiar to more than a few Michiganders).  Since I can pronounce and am familiar with all of the ingredients, I think that makes them healthy--stop smirking.

I also picked up a fruit tart petit four to round out my $10 Plum Market Groupon.  I would've taken a photo of it, but it is already digesting.

I'll have to take another trip to Plum Market to check out their produce and some of the other aisles in the store.  I didn't have time today.  The staff was super friendly, the store was clean and even though I had to basically beeline for the bakery, the place appeared to be clean, well-organized, and well-stocked with various produce/foods.

Groupon Game and Plum Market

Groupon, internet source for local and national sales on restaurants, vacations, food, entertainment etc., is running an instant-win game. 


All you have to do is click on Clicky the clickable value wheel (a name only the internet could love) and let her spin.  You can win $5, $10, $50, or even $100 Groupon bucks.  You also get an extra 5 spins if you like them from your facebook account.  (If this feels like an intrusion, keep in mind that you can "unlike" them once the game is over.)

Click here to play.

**Note:  IF you win on one of your Clicky the clickable spins--DO NOT navigate away from the Groupon page.  There have been reports of people no longer having their deals when they tried to navigate back to the page.

If you win, you can then spend the Groupon bucks on any of the deals they have selected for your city this week.  I won $5 on one of my spins--crapped out on the other 5.  I opted to use my Groupon bucks on a "$5 for $10 worth of goods at Plum Market".  If you are unfamiliar with Plum Market ...you're not alone.  They tout themselves as a "natural, organic, local, and specialty grocery store" with three locations in Ann Arbor, Bloomfield, and West Bloomfield.  I usually go to Trader Joe's when I want to pick up organic items, but it will be nice to support a local business. Also, even if you don't win on your Groupon spins, you can still sign up for the "$5 for $10" deal for Plum Market simply by registering for the deal at the Groupon website.

I'll report back with whatever deals my Groupon bucks afford me.


Thanks to Kosher on a Budget for alerting me to this deal.
