Groupon is bad at lying

It seems Groupon is a horde of liars. I’ve compared the ‘total value’ price on multiple offers and found each one to be inflated. Consider this offer on an AB ‘Beer School’ brewery tour

Two tickets and a $15 credit at the gift shop for $44 dollars with a $68 total value listed. However, buying this straight from the Budweiser tour website

would look like this:

$15 x 2 (tickets) + $15 (gift shop) = $45

Groupon advertises I would save $24 when I would only save $1. Unacceptable.
