Save on Entertainment with Coupons
by Mr Credit CardIt’s Sunday so I’ll take a break from talking about credit cards. My Friend Kevin at www.satellitetvguru.net has some interesting tips for using coupons to save money on your entertainment cost. Many bloggers blog about supermarket coupons but very few blog about coupons for entertainment. So I thought it would be a good idea to ask him to write about this since everyone is in the “save money” mode these days
Earlier this week, Mr Credit Card featured a post about the importance of using coupons to save money on your daily expenses. Coupons are a great way to save on entertainment expenses as well, and are often overlooked. In fact it’s amazing just how much you can save on weekend entertainment by using the right coupons.
Movie Ticket Coupons
These days it costs more for a family of four to go to the movies, then to just buy the movie when it’s released on DVD or Blu-ray. We’ve talked about ways that your family can cut down on movie costs before, however one thing we didn’t mention in the previous post is that using online coupons to make going to the movies a little more affordable.
If you use Fandango.com and you’re a Visa Signature Card Holder, you can currently redeem this coupon that gives you a free second ticket with the purchase of any movie ticket up to $13.50 in value. There are quite a few other movie ticket coupons out there, most of which work with Fandango and give you free tickets, concessions, or a % off your purchase.
Concert Ticket Coupons
You can also use the same strategy to save on concert tickets you buy online. TicketsNow, Stubhub and RazorGator often have coupons that you can find online such as this one that allows you to save $20 on any purchase of $200 or more. While doing a quick search we also came across another coupon that gives you $15 off a purchase of $100 more more.
These coupons are widely available online and easy to find, the sad fact is that most people simply just don’t take the time to do a quick Google search and use them. By getting in the habit of searching for coupons every time before you buy anything online, you can save hundreds of dollars a year.
Satellite and Cable TV Coupons
If your looking to save money on Cable or Satellite service like Dish Network you can find a lot of promotions before signing up, again by simply doing a Google search. The important thing to note here is that you need to find these deals before signing up, if you’re already a subscriber there isn’t much you can do.
If your looking to order Dish Network, by using the promo code on that page you can save $45 and get a free DVR upgrade as well as free installation. You can also find similar coupons and offers when signing up for Comcast cable or Verizon FIOS.
