The Entertainment Book Review

The first time I bought an Entertainment Book was probably 3 years ago. Thinking only schools sold them for fundraisers, I skipped out on the years after. When I saw one at Blockbuster for '09 I was excited and bought one immediately.

Considering I've used 3 books for 3 different states (one was my friend's), I can verify that it is indeed a good buy. There are coupons from fast food to fine dining, events, destinations, travel and shopping as well as online printable coupons. Thankfully, their fine dining deals have gone transformed from cut-outs to a membership card so the waiter doesn't look at you the same way the grocery cashier does.

I do think that the deals have fallen short in a way. They are VERY specific to their locations, so merchants won't accept a coupon if it doesn't fall under their area. There also used to be better fast food deals such as 50% off an entree. Now you have to get at least two orders of the same food to get a discount (which my husband and I rarely do) and they can't be value meals.

Overall it's a great book. It's saved me more than its worth on movie tickets alone. When 2010 comes out, I will be buying it!

PS - If you want to get the best deal, find one on eBay or on Entertainment's own website where usually it's $25 w/ free shipping instead of $30 in stores!
