Here’s a really hard question: Say a guy is giving away cash on the corner by Walgreens. You walk up and he says, “Hello, would you like $50 or $100?” What’s your answer? [tick, tick, tick, ding!] No thought required, right? Some things are just no-brainers!
Finally! A money-saving claim that’s not a scam or a waste of time. Introducing the honored holder of our #3 “I Recommend That” spot: The 2008 Entertainment Book! I’ve tried it and it pays for itself many times over. This is your Entertainment book review.
Entertainment is a coupon book offering a wheelbarrow load of two-for-one deals and 50% discounts at restaurants and attractions all over the U.S. It is a steal at $30 (prices vary), and the book gives you your money back with just a couple of uses because you either buy one thing (like dinner) and get another free, or take 50% off of just one thing.
Let’s say my wife and I are going out for dinner and a movie with the kids. What if I had two payment options:
| Option A | Option B |
| Dinner for 4 at a The Red Iguana: $35 | Dinner for 4 at The Red Iguana: $17.50 |
| Movie Tickets for 4: $28 | Movie Tickets for 4: $21 |
| Total: $63 | Total: $38.50 |
Here’s another hard question: Which option should I choose? Hmm…let me deliberate…
You know the crazy part? This is not a hypothetical situation. I literally have these two options, and so can you. The Entertainment book is loaded with discount coupons for all the places you love to go. When I buy 2 entrees at The Red Iguana, the other two are free. I buy 3 movie tickets at $8, and the fourth is free. If I rented a car to get there, I could upgrade from the Corolla to an Avalon for free. I buy a small Latin-American country, the second one is free. If you eat away from home, see movies, or travel, the Entertainment book is a no-brainer.
Or if my gorgeous, hard-working wife wanted a night out by herself, she could go alone and just take 50% off one entree at The Red Iguana, Chippendales (well, maybe not that one), or even Taco Time, or, well, you get the idea. And it’s not just restaurants; it’s all kinds of stuff. You have to see it to believe it.

I dont see any banners or links, but I can def. agree that the entertainment books are very much worth it. A lot of the stuff is buy 1 get 1 free so if you eat by yourself and dont like left overs, it might not be worth it, but for instance a few years ago they had a buy 1 get 1 free ultimate cheeseburger at jack in the box so i got them and saved one of them for dinner.
Theres also discounts for movie tickets and sporting events, amusement parks–all sorts of stuff.
You make your money back in no time, and i dont think they are that expensive to begin with.
Are you using Firefox with Adblocker? That might explain not seeing the banner, but it sounds like you’ve already got one. But now you can get a 2008 book and they’ll throw in a 2007 for free.
Yep. Gotta love FF w/ Adblocker!!!
I’ve been getting this book for a few years and I can definitely say you wind up saving a ton. We can pretty much find coupons for most of the places we want to go and they’re all offer great deals.
The Entertainment book ran a deal where they were offering the 08 version for free….well they hooked people by billing them for the 09 version even though people checked the online order box saying that they didn’t want the 09 automatically billed. I and numerous others have been scammed by them.
