Girls when eating out grab the Entertainment Book

Think twice about paying $25 for that entertainment book. It will save you lots if you eat out often. They do have the savings if you spend the time to really look at it and use the coupons.

My husband and I don't get to eat out very often simply because it isn't always affordable. The prices of meals these days are getting a bit too out of control for a family like mine who lives paycheck to paycheck. Still, I enjoy the restaurant atmosphere and having someone else wait on me for once.

I purchased my first Entertainment book several years ago from a fundraiser. As I was flipping through the many pages, I realized that this may have been a great investment. For $25 I had tons of money saving coupons in my possession. I found lots of restaurants that had some wonderful savings. Suddenly, thanks to this Entertainment book, I was thinking that my husband and I may be able to enjoy evenings out more often.

Most of the fine dining coupons broke down to getting one of the meals for free. That can easily save $15 or more off of the total check. I was more than thrilled. We didn't wait until the end of that weekend to take advantage of our Entertainment book. We made reservations at a restaurant we both adored but hated the costly checks and had a wonderful meal. We saved almost $25 off of our check that evening. That $25 that we saved paid back the money we'd spent to purchase the Entertainment book originally. My husband was impressed that he started flipping through the pages when he got home that night.

I managed to find a variety of coupons in the Entertainment book for places I shop every week. My local grocery store had a few coupons for each month. I saved money on our local dry cleaning bill once a month as well. My husband started to play golf more often because some of the coupons were for free games. I had heard wonderful things about the Entertainment books in the past but had never taken the time to actually find out for myself what it was all about.

That Christmas shopping season, I hit some stores with coupons in hand allowing me to save a few dollars at a time. Sure, they didn't save me a ton of money but saving $5 here and there definitely adds up over time and makes me feel better about spending money.

The Entertainment books seem to have coupons on everything imaginable, including hotel reservations. Though I've never taken advantage of those savings, supposedly you can get discount rates when mentioning that you have an Entertainment book.

In my household, purchasing the Entertainment book was a great investment. The savings it has brought me has more than paid for the initial purchase price. I will definitely continue to buy one each year because you sure can't argue with all the monies put back in my pocket.

I suggest you do the same!
