And with today’s deal, lettuce show you the natural simplicity of healthy goods, courtesy of Whole Foods Market: Pay $10 for $20 to spend on high-quality natural and organic products. Whether you want local produce; freshly prepared foods; gluten-free goodies; or you simply want to avoid artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners, and hydrogenated fats, Whole Foods Market has you covered. And as if paying only half price for groceries wasn’t enough, Whole Foods Market is donating 5% of the sale price to the new Whole Kids Foundation. Beet the high costs and calorie content of eating out when you pick up sushi, salad, or a steaming-hot lunch or dinner entrée. Get ready to go back to basics with organically good eats and “whole foods” that are good for you.

$20 to Spend on Chocolates
|
$10
|
While some chocolatiers rely on candy forests and cocoa waterfalls to bring attention to their brand, Jason Andelman’s creative, high-end treats speak for themselves. Today’s deal is your golden ticket to his shop, Artisan Confections, where you can pay $10 for $20 to spend on masterfully crafted sweets that have received attention from places like The Washington Post and Daily Candy. This Clarendon confectionary heaven is full of small-batch items, including bon bons decorated by local artists — flavors include rum caramel, chipotle chile, or Tahitian vanilla bean. Or, pick up some crispy peanut butter bars, Fleur de Sel caramels, or bittersweet hot chocolate mix. And $1 of every purchase will go to the Shenandoah National Park Trust as part of Andelman’s Crooked Trail Trek. One bite and you’ll see chocolate bliss can live outside of your (pure) imagination.
With only nine tables and a short sushi bar, Hikaru in the Courthouse neighborhood of Arlington is small enough to be cozy without cramped. The service is friendly and quick to point out the restaurant’s specials for happy hour, which lasts from noon until 7 on Saturdays.
I ordered off the regular menu and was pleased with the freshness, portion, and construction of the standard rolls. (Avocado and spicy tuna pictured here.) That’s too little for the joint to rise beyond cheap neighborhood sushi fix joint to a restaurant worth going out of one’s way for.
I plan to use this weekend’s 50% off Living Social coupon to return with other dcfud writers to try the specialty rolls at a later date, although I might wait until the restaurant is finished remodeling. Good thing I did some recon first.
