In reply to Jan. That's good to know! We don't eat out as much as we used to (we can thank our kids for that ;)) but seems like a deal so long as you actually take advantage of them.

Every year I say that I am not going to buy a book.
Then I end up buying one.

For $30 if you use just the Subway Coupons – you just about got your money’s worth.

Entertainment sent an email out Aug 4, 2015 stating they started a new program Annual Renewal Membership. I skipped over the email thinking more junk mail, bad idea. Now I am getting books costing $30 every year, and I only stay in that region for 2 months of the year. Be careful they don’t enroll you automatically. I see no way to cancel account or change information (like credit card), on the new webpage.

Very cool! I didn’t even know they had hotel discounts in there, I can totally see how that would make them worth it – thx for telling us :)

If you are planning on staying in a hotel anytime soon they are definitely worth. My girlfriend and I got a hotel in Pittsburgh that was normally $299/night for $170/night. we would normally never stay at such a nice place, but with that price it was worth it to splurge a little bit :) Also, if you are thinking well they must have “jacked up the price”, you are wrong. I called the hotel and asked what their nightly rate was first and then after she told me $299 I asked her what the entertainment discount was and that is when I was blown away. We are also staying at the Quality Suites this December in Pittsburgh and for 4 nights it is only $390. Without the entertainment book it was $598!!! And this specific Quality Suites has a full kitchen with dishwasher and a steam shower. VERY NICE place which we have stayed before and I would recommend to anyone staying in Pittsburgh.

I’d just like to add that in addition to saving money, they help FIND things to do. When we’re bored we flip through the pages until something sounds entertaining.

Someone gave us one when we lived in a large metropolitan area. We didn’t use it much. There were SO many coupons in there and it wasn’t organized by suburbs well – it mostly split the areas into the major cities/suburbs, so finding things close to us was a real pain.

We now live in a much, much, much smaller town. Someone gave us a coupon book as a housewarming gift and we use it quite often. There are a number of free offers in there – for things like pizzas, coffee, desserts at assorted restaurants, etc. We’ve had a number of free dinners with those coupons. There are also “free X when you buy Y” and buy-one-get-one coupons. I keep the book in my car so we always have it.
