I'm very excited about this!!
I recently got an update notice from the crew of the Entertainment Book spruiking their latest 2014/2015 edition.
Produced nationally but focused locally, these books are a great source of heaps of fantastic vouchers promoting two-for-one deals and 25% off discounts for a range of not just fine dining, cafes and casual eateries; but activities, entertainment options, hotels and even some retailers. The best bit is they are a helpful fund raising tool as they are mainly sold through charities or not-for-profit community groups.
The Melbourne edition, affordably priced at $65, was released in June and is almost twice the size of it's Perth cousin (I guess twice as many businesses to support double the population) and it's filled with many delights to look forward to - I've already spotted vouchers for The Australian Ballet, IMAX Melbourne and Sea Life Aquarium. There are well known restaurants throughout, all sourced with no pay for promotion and great deals for hotels and theme parks, both regional and interstate, with car and motor van hire options as well.
You can contact The Entertainment Book via the link above to find your state affiliate and they will be happy to provide you with the details of a local charity close to your home or work. I got mine from the Wesley Mission in Lonsdale St, right in the CBD and have a whole year's worth of great bargains to try as the vouchers are valid until the 1st of June 2015. There is a digital version should you prefer, and as a member you can buy interstate or international copies to give to friends or families in Australia and New Zealand for further discount prices. Bargain!Pros: Loads of vouchers, lots of great options for eateries, entertainment, activities and items
Cons: Gold Card for fine dining listed as no longer transferable (so you may have to be one of the diners); some businesses may close during the year so make sure you check online for the latest updates; you'll never get through all the book has to offer! (but that's probably a good thing from a healthy eating point of view).
