The Fine Print

People buy food and bring it home so that they will always have sustenance in their fridge and so that they won't have to kiss grapefruits in public in the middle of the produce aisle. Take care of private matters inside the home with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $15 for $30 worth of local artisanal food, candy, and gifts
  • $20 for $40 worth of local artisanal food, candy, and gifts

The store is a hub for rare and specialty foods, such as disks of stone-ground chocolate infused with guajillo chili or cinnamon, both found in the Taza chocolate Oaxacan sampler ($10.99); Saporoso Riserva balsamic vinegar that is aged 8 years in Italy by the Malpighi family ($29.99); 12-ounce bags of freshly roasted coffee by Portland's acclaimed Stumptown Coffee ($14.99); and agave-sweetened Amella Caramels ($7.99). All visits offer complimentary samples of almost everything in the store; if something isn't available for sampling, visitors are invited to request a taste before purchasing.

Buyer’s Best Friend

Just like a real best friend, Buyer’s Best Friend makes shoppers' lives easier and more refined. The company, which deals directly with wholesale artisanal retailers, scours the world and local markets before incorporating only the worthiest goods into an inventory the Bay Guardian called "among the best gourmet food selections in the city." Everything from smoked salts to organic coffee to gluten-free bread mixes are on offer, and most in-store items are available for sampling, according to SF Weekly. Nonfood items range from organic skincare products to dish sets made out of bamboo.

Buyer’s Best Friend isn’t only for casual shoppers, however. The storefront's online portal serves as a curated aggregate of specialty-food wholesalers, enabling some 5,000 buyers across the country to compare prices, compare policies, and place multiple orders on artisanal products from a single site.

The Groupon Guide to: Speed-Reading

Reading is so boring that if you don't do it fast, you're at risk of falling asleep and hitting your head on a book. Diminish your reading time to mere seconds a day with these speed-reading tips:

  • Practice moving your eyes really fast by quickly looking back and forth at a set of twins until they start to look like one person.

  • Most written text is full of extra words that the author put in to sound smart and pay homage to that old hag Mother Grammar. Skip the fluff by only reading words that are men's names, parts of a horse, in a crazy font, or "Las Vegas."

  • Do not ever read anything inside of parentheses. Parentheses are the garbage can of the page where the author puts his least important or most disgusting thoughts.

  • Use the shape of a paragraph to guide you. Big and blocky? No use in reading what's probably just boring backstory. Thin and slim? You've found that sweet, scintillating mistress we call dialogue—read away.

(Do NOT read this.)
