If you have never used them before or don’t know what they are, check out www.entertainment.com.  Basically it is book full of 2-for-1 coupons that you can buy for $20 for your city.  Mr. Thrifty has been a HUGE fan of these for years.

Usually you will find about 100 different restaurants in your book offering these deals.  What makes it fun is that it encourages you to try different restaurants that are not in the normal 5-10 that most people rotate through.  The Thrifty’s call these “adventure dinners” because in most cases these are restaurants that the Thrifty’s have never been to before.

The one caveat to the Entertainment coupons is to make sure you read the fine print.  Some restaurants black out Friday’s, Saturday’s and weekends.  Just check before you go.

Note: Mr. Thrifty does not recommend that you use a coupon on a first date.  That makes you look like Mr. Cheap and will probably not result in a second date.
