Have been buying the Entertainment Book ever since my kids were at school. There are absolutely hundreds of places to eat and visit etc. We now have our regular eating places mainly because of this book. We always use the "buy one get one free" offer. There are free or cheap movie tickets, half price goods and cheap accommodation. The only draw back is we never get to use all the Vouchers as there are so many. Great idea for new people in the area that the book covers. Definitely worth the money, plus a lot of places sell them to raise funds etc.

I have been using the Entertainment Books for several years and love them.

You really only need to use a Book three or four times in a year, and you've made your money back. From then on, every time you use it you are ahead.

Whenever I go on holiday I get a book for the appropriate location. They are better than hotel room restaurant guides if you need help finding somewhere to dine out.

They make great gifts for people you stay with or visit. Not so much for Christmas, because by then the book has had more than half its life, but even then they are an incentive to get out and try new things, and new places to eat at a reduced rate.

This week I had trouble with their website and was quite annoyed when my email to their Customer Service department seemed to be ignored. But patience won out and I received a call from a very brave young lady who was willing to take on a potentially irate customer, and help me with my difficulty.

So, my thanks and congratulations to Entertainment Book in Hawthorn for another job well done!

Incidentally, in the end, the problem seemed to be due to my computer more than to theirs.

So give them a try, the books really are excellent!

I get great value out of the discounts made with the Entertainment Book.

Love to try new places and it is a great incentive to go out and give locals a go.

Don't mind if I don't use up heaps of vouchers as I am very happy to support my chosen charity.

Win Win business at it's best.

I purchase the Entertainment Book annually to support my local non profit organisation. We don't go out very much but when you have vouchers of either buy 1 get 1 free, or 25% off your total bill, it's worth the effort to try new eateries. By the end of the 12 months the coupons used is usually about 20%, which doesn't really matter because it has paid for itself.

The only thing that I will not buy again is those Coles/Kmart gift vouchers. Although you do save 5% on the giftcards, they tend to arrive around the 6 week mark. Luckily the customer service officers are very prompt to reply to any issues regarding these gift cards (yes there were quite a few issues) and they were quick to respond to the situation. So I commend them on their great customer service, but I will not buy the gift cards again, maybe I am the only one who has bad luck with the gift cards?

Either than that there are also accommodation discounts and other various shopping discounts that I do not use. The website is a great tool to search for accommodation as well. And they also have an app for your smart phone to search for deals.

Overall thumbs up!

I originally bought a book just to support daycare however I love it. We save a lot of money and it encourages us to try new places. We don't go out a lot, you only need to a few times to make the purchase worthwhile. The Coles and Woolworths vouchers are great.

what do you mean by "to support daycare" ? is it a charity at the same time?

A lot of places sell them as a fundraiser.

I've used Entertain Books for a few years now and I've always managed to get through about a quarter of the coupons. The great thing about this compared to online sites like groupon is that you don't need to book in advance for a lot of the restaurants and activities. There's something for everyone ranging from zoo discounts for the kids to fine dining for the adults. Definitely recommend this.

I agree these books offer good value and are valid for at least one year (depending when you buy one). I buy mine in march/april each year One suggestion is to swap vouchers with friends who.also have the entertainment book

Entertainment books are amazing and a must for people who are keen to save money but also don't want to give up having a social life and fun.

I had never even heard of them until 3 years ago when my husband came home with one he had bought at work as part of a fund raiser, and to be honest I thought it was just a waste of money.

Fact is, I was entirely wrong. At the end of the 12 months we had it, there were still heaps of vouchers left, but with the money we saved, on things we would have bought anyway, I didn't for a moment feel we had wasted our money or been ripped off.

Better still - they are transferable, so if there are vouchers you won't use because it isn't your thing or whatever, you just remove them from the book and give them to someone who will use them.

Once I realised how great they are, and started talking to other people about them, I learnt I was way behind and everyone really already knew about them. Lots of my friends have been buying them as birthday gifts for their family every year, and were very popular for it!

I totally recommend checking them out! It will definitely save you money, you won't be disappointed.

Entertainment Books are absolutely amazing ! It helps you save so much money and its a great way to get you out of the house to use all of the great coupons in the book.

The amount of vouchers in the book is by the hundreds.

You could half the price of a family day out using this great book.

I would recommend this book to everyone :)

If you live in a capital city and like going out, this book is a must! Great savings on restaurants, shopping and going out for fun like bowling with the kids. This book can help you save money and helps a good cause.
