The death of an Entertainment book

I have gone ‘Buy 1 Get 1 Free’ CRAZY! Kathy purchased an Entertainment book this year which has vouchers for all sorts of places in Canberra. She left the book in our possession before she went to Europe. The book is valid from July 2010 to June 2011, and for those of you who can do the maths we only have one month left! Kathy did her part and used...oh, one. She certainly got value for money...not! But don’t worry people, enter Penny.

You already know from a previous post that we are bargain shoppers, so this was another bargain battle to sink our teeth into. There are like, 600 vouchers in the book and we have like, 32 days to use them all! I am determined to use up as many I as can, so it will be Penny 1 and Entertainment book 0. Read on to see how you can help me accomplish my goal!

On Thursday or should I call it 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free Day', I converted Liana, Tash and Rach into bargain shoppers. We had journey to the other end of the earth (aka Belconnen) to Cockington Green, the adorable miniature village. Tash went happy snappy and took that many photos the battery went flat! On the way out we drove past the dinosaur museum for which we had a buy 1 get 1 free voucher. We pulled into the car park and attempted to give it to an ‘excited’ pair going to the museum. However, unfortunately no such pair appeared and we were forced to drive on with voucher still in hand...Enter reader. If you enjoy such things as long walks on the beach...then this is not for you. But if you enjoy reading boring facts, looking at boring old things, and learning...well, this is for you. The first reader to comment below will be the lucky winner of a ‘buy 1 get 1 free’ voucher to the dinosaur museum. So not just you can be bored witless but you can submit one of your unsuspecting friends to it as well.

This was a rookie mistake and we were determined not to let this happen again so we devised a game plan for lunch. One hour, 4 vouchers, 2 Big Macs, 2 KFC Fillet burgers, 2 Krushers and 2 Wendy's milkshakes later we rolled out of the food court. At 2.30pm it was time to get serious and learn something. So while I went to the University of Canberra the girls went to study at Hoyts.

Three days, 7 vouchers, I think it is pretty safe to say...Penny 1, Entertainment book 0 = Kathy happy!
