Funny how everyone views things differently. I have no problems using a coupon - it seems like a small triumph to me. Saving money here and there allows me to put more in savings, eat out more, live in a nicer house, or whatever. I think I get that from my father, who himself makes a very good living, drives a nice car, eats out a lot, etc., who also uses coupons if he has them. I have gone out with acquaintances who've been embarrassed by me using a coupon, and I just don't understand that. It's not like shout, "I'M USING A COUPON!" I just casually mention it to the waiter/cashier.
Another reason I like the book: it gets me to try restaurants I might not normally go to. I went to one just yesterday and used a coupon, and I enjoyed it so much that I think I'll go back (without a coupon).
