Save Money with an Entertainment Book

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Entertainment Book is popular with the frugal crowd; but what is it, and how does it work? Here's the answer:
What is Entertainment Book:
Entertainment Book is a big book of city-specific coupons for restaurants, stores attractions, services and more. There are currently over 150 locations to choose from.
Types of Coupons:
Entertainment Book contains a lot of 50% off and buy-one-get-one-free coupons. It also contains other percentage-off and dollars-off coupons.
Coupon Highlights:

Most Entertainment Books contain:

  • $5 off $50 grocery store coupons (one for every month of the year)
  • $5 off $50 pharmacy coupons
  • 2-for-1 restaurant deals
  • discounted movie tickets
  • 2-for-1 admission to area attractions
  • travel discounts
  • oil change discounts
View the Coupons for Your Area:
Not sure if an Entertainment Book would save you money? Just go to their website; enter your zip code; and you can view all of the coupons for your area.
Where to Buy:

To purchase an Entertainment Book, go to entertainment.com; choose the book that you want; and proceed to check out.

A note about checkout: Be sure to move through the checkout pages slowly. There is one page titled, "Annual Book Renewal Progam," which offers you another $5 off of your book and free shipping on all future books, if you agree to let them auto-send a (full-price) copy of each year’s book. With the way it's set up, it would be very easy to agree to by mistake.

Redeeming Entertainment Book Coupons:

Using coupons is as simple as removing them from the book and presenting them to the business at the time of your purchase.

Tip: There's no need to wait for your book to arrive to start saving money. As soon as your order is complete, you'll be able to print coupons from the site.

Maximize Your Savings:

Make the most of your Entertainment Book by:

  • registering your book on the site. This will allow you to access and print additional coupons
  • buying a book for your next vacation destination
  • keeping your book in the car, so you'll always have coupons for those unplanned meals out
  • using your book to decide where to eat
