I only had to spend $50 but the GF found a shirt she liked.


So you admit you didn't save $25... from the way I'm reading it, you paid Groupon $25 to give your GF $50 shopping spree and you saw so much savings in that and topped it off with $25 out of pocket. :p

This has been fun. Now I'm off to get my grope-on with Ns1 in that nightgown that he paid 75 dollars for but doesn't even realize it.

so we can all agree .9999 of a groupon = 1 groupon? Right?

Also the Groupon will take off.

I don't see how that's possible.

You spend 25 dollars
You must spend another 50 dollars
Groupon is 75 dollars out minus 125 dollar cost of goods
That's 200 bucks out of pocket for you on a 75 dollar pair of shoes.

DO NOT WANT! It's a scam meant to prey on people that are bad at maths. Buyer beware.

i used to think you were intelligent. guess i was wrong. damn your thick.

1) pay groupon $25

2) get "gift card" for $50

3) go to store and buy $100 shoes

4) give them "groupon" (gift card) for 50+$50 cash and walk out with shiny new shoes.

total

$75 cash paid to get $100 shoes. total saved with Groupon $25!



my only issue with them is they have stores i don't visit =(

You're just perpetuating the OPs confusion then. And you even continued to argue about it w/ slayer when he clearly pointed out your mistake. Finally after a lot of back and forth you say you wrote it that way b/c the OP did?

Doesn't make any sense man. You try to explain it to OP with the wrong explanation and think that'll help him?

what, you don't think explaining the scenario with the incorrect information that was confusing the OP in the first place was a good idea? :p

So wait a second, Spidey has a point. You pay $25 to groupon. Then you get a coupon for $25 off 50. You have to spend $50 at the store, so you buy $75 worth of merchandise for $50 but you paid groupon $25. Clearly a scam!!!

If you're stuck on the word "off" just realize that you aren't buying a $25 off $50 coupon. You're buying a $50 off $50 coupon.

So much self ownage here. Spidey tried to turn it around once he realized it was wrong, but he still fails.

Fail.
