Saving and spending money means everything. We all want good entertainment for our family at a price we can afford. Here are some suggestions.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase the Entertainment Coupon Book for your area. You can order these online at www.entertainment.com. You can get discounts on travel, fine restaurants, fast food restaurants, bowling, golf, attractions, movie tickets, sporting events, amusement parks, games and much more. It is ideal for your family and you can save hundreds of dollars.

  2. Step 2

    Do not underestimate your LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY. You can get DVDs and books for free. If the movie you are looking for, is not at your present branch, take advantage of the interlibrary loan system at your library. Simply ask a librarian and fill out a request form, with the name of the movie. If the movie is available at another library, it will be sent to your local branch library where you can pick it and keep it for a certain period.

    You will save a lot of money than going to a theatre. When you have to go to theatre, you have pay for every member of the family plus popcorn and drinks.

    Do a movie night with family, friends and even neighbors. OR just a over for movie night, or make it a special evening at home with the one you love.

  3. Step 3

    Use REDBOX for Movie Rentals. It is only a $1.00 plus tax for a movie. To find the nearest redbox, simply go to www.redbox.com and click on 'find a location' and put in your zipcode and you will find one closest to where you live. It is usually at Walmart or your local supermarket. Just look for the redbox and follow the on screen instructions.

  4. Step 4

    Check your PUBLIC LIBRARY for any events they have listed on their bulletin board, flyers on the counter or their website.

  5. Step 5

    Look at your local newspaper online, if you have not purchased one, for events and entertainment going on in your area.

  6. Step 6

    Sign up with NETFLIX. For about $9-$20a month, you can watch several movies, and you would not pay any late fees. It saves you a lot than taking the entire family to the movies.

  7. Step 7

    If you want to eat out, LOOK FOR RESTAURANT COUPONS

    Visit the restaurant website for any printable coupons, special offers and deals they are presently promoting. Most restaurant websites have clubs that you can join for free or if you sign up for their newsletter. You will receive email updates of great deals, specials and coupons. Some of these restaurants include Red Robin, Red Losbster, Chili’s, TGIF, Ruby Tuesday,Applebees and much more.

    Check out the websites for coupons on fast food restaurants.

    Check through your local Sunday newspaper for restaurant coupons in the coupon section
