Another example is the Entertainment Book. I bought 5 of these at an average cost of $14, including shipping. Let's forget the main purpose for the purchase- the 5% AA codes for the moment. We just saved $68 at Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday, not to mention restaurant savings over the past several months. My cash outlay is far more than paying for itself in cash savings.

Cheers.
