$6 back on the Entertainment book!

I'm sure all you hardcore thrifty types know about the Entertainment book, which retails for $25 yet has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars in savings on restaurants, shopping, attractions, and the like. I mainly use it for museum admissions, because you can make the price back in savings with just one or two coupons, but there are some good restaurant coupons too.

Starting in January, Entertainment begins marking down their books, but just today I noticed that Ebates.com has a special too - a flat $6 cash back when you buy the book. The book itself is now discounted to $16, so after your $6 cash back, it'll be a mere $10. The first time you use it for a 2-for-1 admission to the zoo, the Museum of Glass, the SAM, the Burke, the Museum of Flight, the Asian Art Museum, etc., it'll be PAID for! And then it's an easy coast to 10 more months of savings. My dad would be so proud.
