I went to Costco yesterday, and though Megan kept me away from the giant box of Hot Pockets, we have a deal. She gets something she really wants, and I get something I really want. She got a Christmas wreath, which will make an awful mess that I will have to clean up. If you were following my tweets yesterday, don t worry, I did not buy the Almond Roca Cream wine. Nasty. No, I grabbed the latest edition of the Entertainment coupon book.
You all probably know what this is, but to refresh your memories it s basically a book of coupons from national and local businesses. It has a list price of $35, but you can currently buy one online for $28 with free shipping . Each one after that is only $20, and Costco sells them for only $19.99 from the start. Read on to learn why buying multiples is a good idea. (I have a coupon, too, for $10 off, so be the first to email me.)
Buying books for cities other than your own isn t such a bad idea since there were lots of coupons in there for local Seattle attractions. You might want to get one for whatever major metropolitan area you are thinking of visiting next year on vacation.
But I was more concerned about the travel coupons from national companies. The very first page had four coupons for $10 off a grocery purchase of $100 or more, so I already know I ll get my money back regardless. Moving toward the back of the book, I ve listed here a portion of the travel discounts available (there are far more, but you ll get the idea). Some of the discounts are more easily replicated through existing means, like saving 10-20% off at certain hotel chains, including Priority Club as well as a few others on the cheaper end.
Of special note, there is only one American Airlines coupon per book for $10 off, even though it s published on several pages. If you will be traveling with three or more people, it might be worth buying a book for every reservation and you ll still come out ahead. There is also a coupon sixt car rental bremerhaven location for 10% off hotels at Expedia that can be used multiple times, but you won t be able to access the reservations portal unless you own a book. Finally, I have listed some (again, not all) of the car rental discount codes. In theory you are supposed to present the physical coupon each time you use one, but that doesn t always happen. You ve been warned.
I like the AA coupon sixt car rental bremerhaven location but to me the real value is the local grocery store coupons. In my STL edition there at least four $5 off $50 for groceries alone so that pays for the book. Anything beyond that is free. Also many hotel chains have an entertainment book rate. It s usually average in savings but can help in some cases.
