It's also good for event venues--movies, the zoo, sports games, etc. I tend to use the grocery coupons and the bakery coupons the most--well, not including the fast food coupons, which also go fast (never ask a teenager where SHE wants to eat, but if you do, the coupons help!).<BR/><BR/>If you buy through My Points, you get 750 points plus $5 off the list price plus free shipping. That makes it $20 for me, and all I had to do was wait till November to buy it.Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-16837711000566745582007-11-15T10:43:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:43:00.000-05:00It really depends on your market.

There are tons of places in CA (I used to buy LA and SD), and now where I live there are pretty good places as well.Living Almost Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594523259748625997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-87954900874222087902007-11-15T08:30:00.000-05:002007-11-15T08:30:00.000-05:00It's really great in Seattle, too.

I took a look at it after reading your post and saw that it's searchable. Some of the restaurants looked pretty good; maybe I'll try it again.frugal zeitgeisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804781758510341558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37147734.post-17444234667545222262007-11-14T23:46:00.000-05:002007-11-14T23:46:00.000-05:00The quality and quantity of establishments, other ...The quality and quantity of establishments, other than fast food, has been on the downside for quite some time in my market.

Maybe because going out in winter isn't fun.<BR/><BR/>But seriously in SD it was awesome.

It didn't work for me. I think I stopped trying to use it altogether after getting just enough in discounts to cover the cost of the book. I found that the vast majority of the Manhattan restaurants were fast food. Most of the restaurants that weren't fast food were in Staten Island, Queens, and New Jersey. There was all of one restaurant in my neighborhood that participated in the program, and I never go there because it's not very good. <BR/><BR/>I hope your experience is better than mine was!frugal zeitgeisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804781758510341558noreply@blogger.com
