Do you see those Entertainment Books for sale everywhere? I’ve seen them sold as fundraisers, at Walgreens, even on TV. For the longest time I just walked on by, not even peeking to see what they were all about.
Was I ever a fool! (And you know what they say about a fool and his money…) Jay and I like to enjoy a night out every now and again, so we decided to check out the Entertainment Book and see if it was worth spending the $30 on it.
Holy coupons Batman!! We found soooo many ways we can save money – not on things we might buy now that we have a coupon – but on things we were already buying anyways!! Everything from our favorite local restaurants (Edwardo’s pizza – yum!), to local golf courses, entertainment complexes, vacation spots, travel accommodations, retail stores (the Gap!!) and tons of other local businesses.
I need to get into the habit of checking the Entertainment book before I buy anything. Today I went to Sherman Williams and bought paint for my home office re-do. I didn’t think to check the Entertainment Book (kicking myself!). Yep – there was a coupon!! Maybe I will just keep it in my car…. Luckily, with a 2012 membership, a companion app is available for no extra cost. It allows you to search and redeem coupons using your smartphone.
So how much do we love it? We have already decided that when we travel this summer, we will be picking one up for all of the destination cities we visit!
I was provided an Entertainment Book to review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I’m a huge fan of those books. If you live in a large metropolitan city, they’re especially fantastic.

My girls’ sold these as a school fundraiser for the past 2yrs in a row. They’re great if you have time to go around your city & use all the coupons!
