Coupons and such

So I was looking in to coupons in general, and I discovered something really neat. Most of the local businesses I go to will honor a coupon, even if I am not holding it (so long as it is an in store coupon.) Not just because it is decent, but because it does indeed pay to shop local, if they know your name and face you get the bonus of being a  regular customer. Use this type of social currency when and if you can. But don't over use it. If you get to be known as the "can I sample it." Person at the deli counter that's just wrong.
