In the ongoing war between local coupons and Groupon clones, Google has just pushed out an update to Google Shopper with a new local deals tool. If your city is one of the handful that has Google Offers, you’ll be able to purchase local coupons — but right now that feature only works in New York, San Francisco and Portland.

Luckily, even other cities get some advantages, as any store that has a deal or coupon up via Google Places will also show up, so you can get some discounts that way too.

Google Shopper is a free download from the app store.
