I have to admit that I love saving money and using coupons. So I have a problem. I'm addicted to Groupon Vancouver this year. It helps that a have a Groupon buddy, yes a friend who loves Groupon even more that I do. One of the reasons I stopped with all group buying coupons for awhile is because I was addicted to buying them and then never redeemed them. Now times have changed and I make sure that I make my appointments and use my groupons. On occassion if I miss out, that's okay because the amount I paid never expires.
One night I was heading downtown for an art workshop at Opus and I knew that I wouldn't have much time to eat dinner. So when I saw the Fatburger Groupon for a burger, fries and drink for $9, it was perfect and I bought one right away. Fatburger is a fast food joint with big juicy burgers. It was easy to use the Groupon and I only had to pay the tax which was less than $1.45 or something like that. Fatburger just outside Stadium skytrain station was packed because of a Canucks game the same night. However since it's fast food, I was able to find a spot for one at the window and there is fast turnaround. It tooks 10 minutes for me to get my meal which is pretty good because just look at that plump burger filled with toppings.

This year a new burger joint arrived on top of Burnaby Mountain at Simon Fraser University campus. That was Big Smoke Burgers - Hand Crafted Burgers. University students must like burgers to have a specialized burger joint at Cornerstone right by the bus loop. It is a spacious restaurant and a fast food ordering. They have hand crafted burgers and beer.
The menu has an assortment of specialty burgers from chicken, veggie, beef, and lamb. Sides include onion rings, fries, poutine, or a side salad. Combos are the obvious option where you can have your burger of choice, a side (exclusive of the green salad) and a drink of water, Boylan's soda, or a fountain drink.
I decided to try the lamb burger with jalapeno harvarti cheese and mushrooms. Delicious! It is nice to be able to create your own burger and choose onion rings to go with it. It's an affordable option to hang out with friends at SFU.
Now I wouldn't be able to have a burger and onion rings everyday but on the odd occasion with friends, it sis a nice treat and a winning combination.
