There are so many of these group buy websites around now, and a lot of the deals are not very good and/or not very interesting... but from time to time, something worthy pops up.

If you spot one that you think would be of interest to people here on RevScene, post it up!

As per standard RevScene rules, do not post a links with referrals, or else the ban hammer will hit you hard.

The Peking Duck in 2 courses deal isn't bad as well, some may complain about the terms (i.e. minimum 4 people per table/have to make a reservation).

If you like Spicy there spicy chicken is to die for no joke!!

I love spicy stuff.
Are all the churches chicken the same? or are there the holy grail locations?

[Bonka]

Not in my experience. I almost exclusively visit 2 locations. I goto the one on Kingsway and Nanaimo mostly because the drive-through is 24 hour and their spicy chicken is better marinated.

I don't know what they do with the spicy chicken at the Fraser and 41st location; it's bland and the skin isn't crispy.

I've been to a number and most seem the same, make sure the chicken is fresh tho thats they key. Spicy is so good thats mixed in with the batter nom nom nom

do you ask for a new batch or something?

Churches > KFC any day of the week.

[fliptuner]

Great thread. Thanks IS.

[MG1]

Churches > KFC any day of the week.

KFC used to be good. Now they suck to the bone (pun intended).

Secret recipe my ass. It does not taste the same as it used to. Changed the recipe, they did.

Churches is, like you said, hands down the winner.

Actually, I kind of like the fried chicken from Donald's Market on Hastings..... oddly enough, right next door to Churches. Being cheaper helps a lot, too.

[FOREVER]

Reasons like this make me wish I had a visa :okay:

You should group buy Deal Extreme. pretty good site.

Have any of u guys tried Lee's chicken? There's locations in Surrey and Langley. They have the best chicken imo, better than KFC and Churches.

Isn't there one in Abbotsford, too?

I think one in Port Coquitlam too?

Don't know the answer to these but if you've tried Lee's before, let us know how you liked it vs KFC and Churches.

There used to be one near metrotown on kingsway, but they closed a while ago :okay:

Lees spicey recipe is delish

[dboy]

Yes there is one in Abbotsford

[fliptuner]

I just had Lee's yesterday. I only get the spicy/crispy. Some may thing there's a bit too much batter but I think it's ok. The texture is really good, as is the flavour. Pricing is good too at $5 tax in for 2pc leg/thigh, fries and gravy. If you've never been there, definately try the onion nuggets. Oh yeah, i went to the one in PoCo - it's on the NE cor. of Prairie and Coast Meridian.

I loves me my Church's but only when it's really fresh.

BTW anyone find it ironic that most Lee's are run by Koreans? On another note, Lee's was founded by Col. Sander's nephew, Lee Cummings.

I remember there was a bunch of you guys asking about those flowers that 'last forever'. There's a deal going on right now:

anyone check out todays groupon at Mac Shack?

[Gumby]

I find the Mac Shack overpriced. So today's Groupon makes it more reasonably priced.

Edit: Damn it, I had a chance to buy it this morning, but now that I want to buy a $20 for $10 voucher, it's sold out.

[UnDeadMage]

wow mac shack 10 for 20 already sold out

[InvisibleSoul]

Wow, looks like I got in on it just in time! I've heard of the Mac Shack, and haven't tried it yet, so I decided to get a couple Groupons. Got them just before 9:30am.

:fuckyea:

i should've bought 2!

The massage deal sucks. $35 for 45 mins. Never been there though as I know somewhere is around same price for 1 hr =.=

^Yes, it is too good to be true. According to RFD detectives, it is not a scam but a smart marketing ploy. Overpriced product, minimum number of item needs to be bought, conflicted opinion on quality of meat you receive.

"Gourmet Secrets": New butcher scam? - RedFlagDeals.com Forums (http://forums.redflagdeals.com/gourmet-secrets-new-butcher-scam-1060969/)

[Majestic12]

It is. If it's the same as they've offered before, you have to pay a huge shipping charge on top. Then, the gift certs you get are like, 4x$50. You can only use one coupon per order, and if you check out their website, each box of meat is like 80-something or 90-something bucks, so you're still paying quite a bit.

I looked into it last time they posted... so I'm not sure if it's the same deal as they offered last time, but if it is, not really worth it.
