If you live in New Jersey, this is an offer that is basically risk-free. The 2010 Entertainment Coupon Book is now being liquidated at crazy prices — the lowest they’ll go this year.
You can buy two Entertainment Books for $5 each with $1 shipping and handling.
And if Shop Rite is your grocery store of choice, you’ll find $5 off coupons at the front of the book, basically making the rest of the book free. Actually, if you get the book in time, you might be able to use a 2nd $5 ShopRite grocery coupon before the expiration date (the coupon valid thru dates are scheduled basically one per quarter throughout the year)
Just think: If you use just one more coupon in the book, you’re ahead of the game.
Some big discounts can be had in the book, such as $15 off Radio Shack or buy one get one ski lift tickets, or $7.50 AMC Lowes movie tickets, etc.
This last-ditch promotional discount is scheduled to end August 2nd, so go ahead and spend that 10 bucks today, you’ll be glad you did after your first couple of discounts.
Well, if you haven’t been over to Hanover Lanes lately, they’ve renovated the place — including a new arcade area in the back (pretty sizable) with new games and a brand new bar/eating area — with PizzaHut Express with decent prices. (Seemed like 1/2 the people bowling got the $3 = soda + breadsticks combo by looking at the tables in all the lanes)
Here’s a great video that should inspire you all the way to Hanover Lanes on Route 10 in East Hanover:
To make it even more enticing and enjoyable, here’s a free printable coupon for two free games when you pay for two games:

QUESTION: When was the last time you went bowling?
It took awhile, but they’ve finally finished the renovations for the Malaysian-Thai cuisine hangout.
And what a transformation. They’ve upped the vibe a notch – closed up the open kitchen, neat dramatic wallpapered wall with indirect lighting, brought in spacious 6-person upholstered booths, neat-o illuminated orange glass dividers for the long bench seating. The upper deck now houses 3 big round tables that seat 10 people each.
The hostess said they didn’t sacrifice any seating for the new configuration.
The menu stays the same. The popular standard fare is still yummy — Roti Cani, Pad Thai, Seasme Chicken, Buddhist Veggie Delight…
Penang is next to Don Jose, in the Home Depot shopping center.

Have you been to the new Penang Restaurant on Route 10 West in East Hanover NJ? What’s your take on the new decor? Please leave a comment below!
We’re a fan of Panang Malaysian which is next door, and every time we’ve gone, Don Jose has a line waiting for seats in their foyer. So we ended up here for my birthday dinner.
Toasty homemade chips and salsa to start! Steak and enchiladas! Kids meals $5 each from a selection of about 5 or 6 different options! Most entrees were $11-12. ”Combos” were $12-14. And other meat dishes were were mostly $15 (steak, chicken, fajitas, etc). Serving portions were average size. The meal took a tad longer than we expected to come out and the rice was pretty dry. The meals at Don Jose was mostly above average, satisfying, but not knock your socks off fantastico if you were to judge the food solely by itself.
The reason why you’d go to Don Jose’s restaurant is for the dining experience. Don Jose’s staff was friendly. . . decor definitely let you forget you were in a strip mall. . . the live roving 2-man guitar/strings musicians made the night festive. For your birthday they bring out a big ol’ sombrero and everyone in the house joins in to clap and sing. It was a Kodak Moment.
But some small things to note: We were asked to move our party to another table 10 minutes into sitting down for our meal – we were told it would help them out to accommodate a larger group by combing our table with others for the larger group. The waiter promised us “we’ll give you an extra special dessert complimentary on us” if we could help them out. We moved, wasn’t a big deal to us at the time, but they never followed through on the promised “comp”ing of desserts. We were even chanrged for the birthday flan + ice cream that was eagerly sent with the song and clapping during our meal. Is it a deal breaker? No? But it’s one of those small annoying things that just leaves a bad taste in your mouth as you leave the restaurant.
But other than that little annoying instance, we’d go back at some point soon.
If you drive by the old CompUSA building on Route 10 eastbound in East Hanover, you’ll see that a new Furniture Outlet has taken up the space.
It’s now open for business!
It’s not a branded store like the one next to Babies R Us further down on Route 10 west. It seems generic. . . If you’ve been inside, please post a comment and let us know what kind of furniture they sell inside?
Of course the question is no one is buying new homes these days to fill up with new furniture and if banks have effectively stopped handing out home equity loans, who’s going to be buying new furniture? We’ll see I guess . . .
All you outdoors people, REI East Hanover is finally here and open. The new building on Route 10 is gigantic. They’re definitely banking on YOU to come in and spend your money so they can dance their way to the bank.

We picked up our FREE Size 5 Soccer Ball over at Gogel Tire today on Route 10 in East Hanover, across from Home Depot.
We brought in the certificate we got from our Livingston Soccer Coach last weekend and they asked if we wanted a size 4 or size 5 soccer ball. Voila! Spence had a shiny brand new soccer ball.
Although no purchase is necessary and they certainly didn’t pressure my into any sale, I’m now waiting on a quote for new brakes for our car. That was the first time I was in their shop, and I’m glad I went in. They were super nice and friendly.
Certainly the type of positive experience you want in a corporate sponsor for the Livingston Kinderkickers Soccer club.
The Taco Bell in Route 10 Westbound in East Hanover, New Jersey is now open for what they call FOURTH meal. What’s that? We have Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and now Fourth Meal. . .
As if Americans aren’t large enough!
If you’re craving for your 4th meal of the day, Taco Bell is one of the latest to open until 1AM on Friday and Saturday nights and till Midnight, Sunday to Thursday.
The meal between dinner and breakfast? Aren’t you supposed to be SLEEPING? What are you doing up driving around for a full calorie-packed meal?
And to make it easier and faster for you to buy that next larger size pants, they have pro-fat (as in helping to get you fat fast) meal items as cheap as 79 cents now.
Forget about the issue of eating more meals than you should in a given day — what about the fact that this stuff cannot be that healthy for you if they are selling it for $0.79. Given that this is a capitalistic economy and that NJ property taxes are at an all time high and that the company that owns and operates this business MUST make money, how much do you think the actual cost of the food ingredients are in an item that sells for $0.79? Remember they have to factor in rent, electricity, supplies, the packaging & other free stuff like sauce packets, napkins, etc, employee salaries and advertising. After that is taken out of $0.79, they have a profit margin they depend on. And what’s left is the amount they can afford to spend on the actual food ingredients you’re about to put into your precious body.
Holy burrito!
I think I’ll stick with the new Chipolte down the street at little higher price point…
It looks like at the location next to Michael’s Arts and Crafts store on Route 10 Westbound in East Hanover New Jersey, is getting a brand new restaurant. They are installing signs and cooking equipment this week.
The old restaurant — Wild Noodles, failed wildly. It was dark, it was sterile, uninviting, (and expensive for what you get) and hence no one eat there. Bye bye Wild Noodles, sorry, but we won’t miss you.
But this new tenant has a BIG shot at the success. Why? Because they serve BIG fat burritos. I mean huge, looks-like-a-big-silver-football-wrapped-in-aluminum-foil-burrito.
The mexican restaurant coming is. . . .
Chipotle! Anyone else going to be waiting in line for them to open?
