I have found a really good deal on the 2009 Entertainment Books. The Entertainment book is basically a big coupon book with lots of buy one get one free coupons for different restaurants and entertainment places. The books are each for a regional area (like Boise or Utah). There are also a bunch of coupons for national chains-- things like Jiffy Lube, car rentals, and regular stores.
Anyway, the books retail for $25, but you can get one for $5. Here's what you do: Go to
http://www.cashbaq.com/?refer=451315and sign up for an account. This is a free site that gives you money back for shopping online-- they will either send you a check or deposit it in your Paypal account on the 20th of the month after your cash back balance equals $10. They will instantly credit your new account $5. Then scroll down and on the right hand side, you will see a link for Entertainment book (or select Entertainment book under "Shop by Store" on the left hand side.
This pulls up a page with coupons-- 20% off and free shipping or $5 off and free shipping. Click either one-- at least for Boise and Utah, the discount is the same. (These coupons expire Nov 30, 2008, so order soon). Then on the Entertainment books page, type in your zip code and it pulls up your local book. (These are also nice if you are traveling to somewhere for a couple weeks-- like CA, you can save quite a bit eating out).You can look through the different coupons here and see if you think you'll use it. So then when you check out it is $20, but $10 will be credited to your Cashbaq account, plus the $5 you got for signing up. So your final price for the book after the rebate will be $5.
(Entertainment books will let you add a 2nd book for $15, but you are better off placing a 2nd order through Cashbaq. If you use the first account you set up, your total will be $10, if you set up a new one with a 2nd email address, your total will be $5 again). With free shipping, I'm having my gift ones sent to my in-laws house so I won't have to worry about reshipping for Christmas.
