$10 worth of Big City Burritos for only $5!


Groupon has a great deal today. You can go here to purchase a $10 gift certificate to Big City Burrito for only $5! I love their potato burritos, their selection of tortillas and their homemade salsas.

Make sure you are close to one of the 3 participating locations as it is not good at all of their locations. Also, the gift certificate is good through January 29, 2011 and you can only use one per visit.

I plan to buy several as I could eat at this place every week! This deal is only good through midnight tonight, so buy it soon if you want in!

I love their camis for layering and wearing underneath sweaters, so now is the time to stock up if you love them too!
