At home I prefer free coupons that are mailed to me because they require less effort. Restaurant.com and most other sites require a small payment for certificate (coupon) and many expire within 6 months or so (although new trend is to only have promotional value expire). I then have to print out to use or find an app to use without printing because our printer never seems to work when needed! I still use groupon, restaurant.com, amazon local, etc. but free coupons in the mail are best for local deals.
However, as a visitor to the lake I find all my coupons online or in free local papers while I am up there. I then use coupons or deals to find new places to try (we have only been coming up for a few years and only a few days/yr so there are still tons of places to try!). If I have any coupons leftover I leave them in our place for future renters to use.
