I've been getting quite a lot of coupons from restaurants through the mail and newspapers recently. Although this is nothing too unusual, I've noticed that there are a lot more coupons coming than there were before, and some of them are from restaurants that hardly ever send out coupons. I suppose that they are just trying to drum up more business since sales have been lacking for a while at some of these places.
Beware of the "Specials" once you get there too. Someone I know, who works in a restaurant, told me that the specials are generally food that is close to spoiling and they are trying to get rid of.
That's definitely believable. I've always suspected that.
