when do you purchase them? When they first come out/at full price (ex: $25-$35)? Or do you wait until later in the year when they tend to go to about $20...then eventually $15? We use at least a handful of coupons in the book, but I want to get my money's worth & don't want to spend more than I would save KWIM? lol

I bought a 2010 book a few weeks ago for $20 through our local high school.

Thanks for posting. I did know about ebates for $6 back already, but was hoping someone know of a better deal before the cash back.

I don't know any schools in our area that are selling them anymore, but I did use to buy them from the local schools when they were still selling them.

If I buy one, I do it for a fundraiser, so yes, I pay full price, which is usually $20.

Entertainment books are still $19.99 and Ebates is now offering $9.00 cash back, if you are interested.

Thank you! We always say we didn't really use the one we had (but we almost always get one) but I've found myself wanting to check the Entertainment book for coupons in the past couple of weeks and we don't have this year's!

For $19.99, free shipping, and $9 cash back it was totally worth it. I think we always break even pretty quickly anyway. We did have a run though where every restaurant (new ones we hadn't been to) we had a coupon for was out of business when we tried to use the coupon. I think it happened three or four times.

We also usually get one when we travel somewhere else. If we're going for a week or so you can find some good discounts and by then, the book is usually only $10 or $15 anyway.

Slightly OT, but can I do multiple orders for the Entertainment books through ebates and get $9 each time or just the first order? This might be a good idea for a few people in different cities. I can get additional books for $15 but I still prefer the $10.99...

ETA: Thanks for posting this, but dang it looks like ebates went back to only offering $6 cb.
