At times when everybody lives on a tighter budget looking for money saving opportunities is high priority. People still love to go out, meet friends after work, enjoy a good dinner but it can get expensive to do that. Happy hours and discounted food specials are really popular among people every age group. Restaurants are trying to fulfill that need with discounted menus and happy hours. But discovering these deals is not that easy. Happy hours are not really advertised that much and finding out who has specials and when is almost impossible. Even online you have to dig deep.
Still, looking online for coupons is really popular. But not everybody wants to spend hours on the computer to search for the best happy hour deals and then it still needs to be printed out and taken to the restaurants. To be honest, not everybody likes to show up with paper clippings. Another way to look for bargains is to search local papers but most restaurants do not want to spend the money on costly ads anymore.
Membership programs offer members to save money and to find deals online. Restaurants and bars often post specials to spoil members with amazing food and drink deals. Members don't have to clip out coupons anymore, they simply show their membership card to receive specials - it is like carrying a whole coupon book in the wallet. Some of these membership programs have a mobile phone application what makes it even easier to find the perfect deal on the go.
