My wife and I were having a conversation this week about ways we can save money, and yes, the subject of coupons came into play. So, with my newly motivated task of finding coupons to help stretch our family's dollar, I Googled a few search terms. Needless to say, my motivation turned quickly to frustration due to the millions of search results. Here's the breakdown:

Search Terms & Search Results
Online Coupons- Over 23 million results
Travel Coupons- Over 44 million results
Dining Coupons- Over 31 million results

It was at that very moment that I thought of my parents. Growing up in the late 70's and early 80's, my parents were always watching the bottom line. And, on the passenger side of the family station wagon (under the seat of course) we could always find the Entertainment Book. This pint sized coupon book was as important to the family as an encyclopedia. We used it all the time in restaurants, hotel stays and local entertainment attractions.  I remember being repeatedly disappointed upon discovering all the "good" coupons had already been used. My next search, after looking for online coupons, was to find out if Entertainment Books was still in business;  I was happy to learn that they are still going strong after all these years.  Since 1962 they have been compiling, producing, and distributing this nifty "2 for 1" or "50% off" offer coupon book, and today they are still growing. They are available in 150 major US markets as well as Canada and Puerto Rico.

I am happy to be an affiliate of Entertainment Books. This convenient coupon resource encourages us to travel yet saves us thousands of dollars. Enjoy!
