Review: Entertainment Book (and a great deal today!)



I recently had the chance to review an Entertainment book - a book chock full of coupons!
(this post was actually delayed because I misplaced it, couldn't find it anywhere, and was so sad thinking that someone had maybe thrown it out by accident!  But I found it, so all is well...)

It's a very popular coupon book that's been around for 50+ years, so you've probably seen or used it yourself!  There are coupons to save money on restaurants, local attractions, hotels, travel, groceries and more -- you can also get access to online and mobile savings through the website and mobile app.  I think the book is organized well, making it easy to find what your looking for.

We don't go out a whole lot, so I wasn't sure how useful it would be for us, but I was happily surprised!  There are so many different categories the Entertainment book covers - lots of things that we definitely do use.....food (so much food!), movies, mini-golfing, renting cars, hotels, groceries....and the book doesn't expire until the end of the year so you have plenty of time to take advantage of the many offers.

They have 126 local Entertainment editions, covering every major city throughout North America.  The edition I have is for Grand Rapids (about 45 miles from here), but I was happy to find we can still use most of the coupons!  Many of them are for chain restaurants and stores that we have here, and the ones that are further away are perfect for when we travel or the hubzy and I have a date night.




They're good quality coupons too -- it includes hundreds of 50% off and two-for-one discounts!  


If you're interested in getting your own, right now there's a great deal available.  For a limited time, their website is offering them for 50% off....orig. $35, now $17 -- and you can add a second book for $13!  Also,  Ebates is offering 16% cashback (double cashback right now!) on top of that! 
So your first book is less than $14.50, and a 2nd book (for you or a friend) is not even $11.




Bottom Line: I think it's a great buy.  It would be easy to get your money's worth out of it if you *only* were to use 1-2 coupons!  But, with the huge selection I have no doubt you'd use more, for some super savings! 
(It could also be an awesome gift idea for a friend who's moved to a new area!)



*This is a “sponsored post.” The company who sponsored it compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to write it. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Save with Ibotta! An App for iPhones or Android Full of High-Value Stackable e-Coupons!



Have you heard of Ibotta?  It's great way to save money on things you already buy, and you don't have to be a "couponer" to use it...if you do use coupons though, you can save even more on top of them! 

You download a free app, then use it to redeem offers and get money back on your purchases.

My friend and I have been using it and we love both it!  We get the money in a PayPal account really quickly too - sometimes as fast as 15 minutes!
I love that you can use it in combination with any other coupons/deals you'd normally use! So if I get a free item at a drugstore (Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid...), I still get money back from Ibotta and can make things a moneymaker!
