$25 for $50 Worth of Fine Steaks at Five O’Clock Steakhouse

Topping a food chain is a tremendous achievement, which is why humans triumphantly plant flag-like toothpicks in burgers and belt the national anthem at their steaks before devouring them. Enjoy life at the top with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of steakhouse cuisine at Five O’Clock Steakhouse . Since the Coerper family first started topping plates with fine cuts of beef in 1948, Five O’Clock Steakhouse has wowed patrons and garnered praise for its menu of USDA Choice steaks, hickory-smoked ribs, and fresh seafood. Launch meals with a helping of garlic bread ($6) before plunging fork tines into a slab of protein, each accompanied by a side of mushrooms sautéed in butter. Tear into a porterhouse steak, a specially selected slab of beef that sates people with an appetite larger than a bear waking up from hibernation on Thanksgiving ($39). The ultra-tender filet mignon, a steer tenderloin, can be ordered as a ladies cut ($28) or a kings cut ($40), and bacon encircles tender steak fillets, which are adorned with blue cheese and parmesan sauce ($28). For those who have already eaten several steaks that day, the jumbo-shrimp scampi nestles the flavors of fresh seafood into patrons’ mouths ($24). In addition to the variety of craft beers available, the wine list hosts an expansive assortment of glasses and bottles that complements the cuisine.

Visit for Two or Four Adults to Magic Waters Waterpark in Cherry Valley

The human body is more than 60% water, which is why most philosophers claim that water parks are the most salient metaphor for life. Live a little with today’s Groupon to Magic Waters Waterpark in Cherry Valley. Choose between the following options: For $22, you get two adult tickets (up to a $45.90 value). For $44, you get four adult tickets (up to a $91.80 value). This deal expires on September 5. Magic Waters attractions thrill adventure seekers and soothe relaxation seekers, and the park’s certified lifeguards keep guests safe as they frolic in the water. Soaked screams of delight sound from the Body Slides , where torsos careen down five-story-high tubes at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, unencumbered by tubes, boards, or the palanquins used for all non-aquatic transportation. The Typhoon Terror sends four tubers at a time hurtling into a whirling cyclone simulation, and Tsunami Bay ‘s 707,000-gallon pool launches endless waves, some higher than six feet. Lazier fun unfolds on Splash Magic River , where a gentle current guides sunbathers down a manmade river 1,200 feet long. Younger guests can climb, slide, and research their Robinson Crusoe remake scripts at the Tiki Island and Little Lagoon water playgrounds. Magic Waters sports several park eating areas, including an outdoor grill , where cheeseburgers and pizza replenish depleted swimmers, and the Thirsty Turtle stand, which beats back waves of heat with smoothies and shaved ice. A beach volleyball court enables sets and spikes with complimentary balls, but guests must provide their own slow-motion high-fives. The park hosts frequent events , including its Sizzlin’ Summer Nights , which delight families with activities such as bowling, karaoke, and eating contests each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. Though Magic Waters Waterpark offers a discounted rate on Tuesdays and Thursdays, this Groupon remains the best value for the rest of the week.

$64 for Custom 70"x53" Photo Blanket, Plus Shipping, from PhotoWeavers ($129 Value)

Blankets provide warmth at night, security capes for children, and nourishment for roaming hordes of goats. Wrap up in a personalized wonder-covering with today’s Groupon: for $64, you get a custom 70″x53″ photo blanket (a $129 value, shipping included) from PhotoWeavers , a family-owned textile mill that re-creates images by weaving them into the fabric, rather than printing over finished cloth. The blanket-design process offers myriad creative options for those tired of basic fleeces and plaid throws. First, upload a photo and choose either the simple method, which produces a blanket with just the image woven into the surface, or the customizable method, which allows users to personalize the image with borders, labels, and insignias. With the latter method, customers can unleash their inner designer with themed borders depicting hobbies such as golf or fishing; insignias celebrating friends or family in uniform; or graphics celebrating holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. For example, upload an image of the family dog chasing its tail, add a dog-themed border with tennis balls and biscuits, and insert a wildly creative, custom caption such as “dog blanket.” After the image and graphic layout is submitted, a PhotoWeavers designer will weave the image into a blanket using around 8 miles of cotton thread, which is roughly equivalent to three zillion Q-tips. Though PhotoWeavers sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
