Cheese is a universal pleaser, leaving its tasty mark on everything from Earth’s sandwiches to the moon’s surface to Saturn’s crumbled feta rings. Indulge in a celestial treat with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of specialty and gourmet cheeses from the Cheese Shop at Giant Eagle. This Groupon is valid at all Giant Eagle and Market District locations and requires a Giant Eagle Advantage Card. Existing members should provide their card info upon purchase and the offer will be automatically uploaded to existing cards. New members will receive cards by mail.
Giant Eagle's spread of more than mild to pungent cheeses amasses more than 400 varieties of aromatic curds from around the world. Parmigiano reggiano ($18.99/lb.) complements rustic tomato sauce and earthy olive oil with firm bites that break into chunks for salty hors d'oeuvres. Cotswold cheese combines mellow double Gloucester with onion and chives ($12.99/lb.), a savory mix that melts into a smooth, hearty sauce when heated on stovetops or placed in a tanning booth. Discerning palates gravitate toward Market District red-wax gouda ($8.99/lb.), a silky cheese whose mild taste artfully underscores the delicate flavors of white wines and fruity reds. A cheese glossary helps shoppers navigate the aisles, paring hard or soft wedges with a fondue recipe or ripened sweater. Additionally, Giant Eagle’s low-fat cheeses deliver fortifying doses of calcium while cutting down on calorie content.

The Groupon Guide to: Helpful Pests
As cruel, unforgiving nature continues to encroach on our precious cities, more and more homes find themselves infested with animals—but not all are pests. Before you swat these multilegged invaders with your rolled-up magazine or e-reader, take a second glance—they might be one of the following helpful pests:
• Spiders: In addition to making beautiful webs that can be used to hypnotize burglars, spiders indiscriminately consume annoying flying pests such as gnats, finches, and your roommate Jeff's remote-control police chopper.
• Rats: Often called the horses of mice, rats provide a helpful household service—chewing through household cords to test them for dangerous electricity. Honor their service by prebuying tiny platinum coffins in bulk.
• Ghosts: If bribed with a small saucer of milk, ghosts will possess your tiresome spouse and force them to play beautiful piano music in the middle of the night. Kids love waking up to this prank.
• Mosquitoes: Mosquitoes help to curb the human body's surplus blood supply before the excess hemoglobin is visibly purged as a sudden shock of beautiful crimson hair.
