$8 for Set Meal for Two at Spuddies in Lot One Shoppers' Mall (Worth $15.60)

The potato, nature’s most versatile tuber, is great as a fried snack, a cheap weapon, and – with the simple addition of plastic eyes, mustache and mouth – a great dinner companion. Buddy up with someone other than Mr. Potato Head with today’s Groupon: for $8, you get a Spuddies Set Meal for 2 (worth $15.60).

Fry fanatics will have a field day at this little establishment in Lot One Shoppers' Mall, which is proud to purvey fresh-cut fries by the cone-load. Containing essential vitamin C, potassium and fibre, and with no chunk-inducing trans fat, Spuddies fries work hard to subvert every unsolicited prejudice held against the harmless root. Each meal includes 2 servings of fries of different cuts – pick from the Mega cut, whereby each crispy fry is thick, crispy and oozing with mash potato on the inside, or the more traditional, thinner Fresh Cut. Fries are all double fried to retain the natural flavor of the potato while locking out unsavory grease. Then top your potato piles with a choice of two premium dips out of four: Cheddar Supreme, Chili Crab, Poutine and Italiano.

Canada-philes can get their fill of the icy country-that-is-not-the-US with the national favourite, Poutine, a hearty brown sauce topped with minced beef and dressed with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, while the Chili Crab dressing, seasoned with egg strips and shredded seafood sticks, is pure comfort food for Singaporeans and the Singaporean-at-heart.

Top off the carb fest with 2 servings of the popular Munchskins, deliciously oven-baked potato skins topped with creamy cheese, sour cream and bacon bits, then wash it all down with refreshing glugs of homemade ice lemon tea.
