Entertainment Book 2010

I just got my 2010 Entertainment Book in the mail.  This is a normal time for me to purchase one of these books because I won't use the book in December and January so it makes sense for me to wait until they go on sale.

The Entertainment Book is a nationally run coupon book that is comprised of both national and local coupons.  It has a few categories but the two that I focus on are dining and entertainment.   With both of these categories the Entertainment Book basically becomes my date night deal book for when my wife and I go out.  The reason is that a majority of the deals are buy on get one deals or a percentage off given that you spend a specific amount.  For example:

My wife and I decide we need a night out so we go to the Entertainment Book and see that we can go to the local mexican restaurant and get one entree free when we buy an entree of equal or greater value.  We also find a coupon for a discount at the local movie theatre but decide to go bowling because the coupon for AMF is buy one game get one free.

As you can see we cut the cost of our date in half by using the Entertainment Book.  What is nice is that there are a good number of the national coupons so when we travel the book is good and when we are at home it is even better.

As I flipped through the dining section I saw coupons for everything from fine dining to fast food and ice cream.  In the entertainment section the selection was huge with coupons on martial arts classes, skate parks, cultural events, and much more.  There are also coupons for  travel and retail deals.

Overall this is one of my favorite purchases to help me save money throughout the year.  The regular price is $35 but right now they are on sale for 40% off making the Entertainment Book only $21.
