Entertainment Books can be a great value – but only if you are sure that there are coupons for products and services you know you will purchase AND you remember to use those coupons throughout the year.

For those who are not familiar with them, Entertainment Books are books that are jammed full of coupons that are targeted based on where you live. If you go to the Entertainment.com website and enter your zip code or town, you will be able to see coupons for your area. They offer coupons for many different categories, including restaurants, movie tickets, attractions, and shopping.

You can find coupons for grocery stores in these books. Not all regions have them, so you should browse the Entertainment.com website to be sure. For example, the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia region has “$5 off any purchase of $50 or more” coupons for Magruder’s grocery stores. The Omaha, Nebraska book has “$5 off any purchase of $50 or more” coupons for Bag N Save grocery stores. The Greater Boston/Eastern MA book does not appear to have any grocery store coupons. We’ve read that some of the grocery store coupons that come with the book can be used for each month of the year.

The cost of the book is $30. The 2009 book is available for purchase now.
