Dining In Brentwood For Half Price!

Normally, this locally produced coupon book costs $20, with a portion of its profit going to school or church fundraisers. Right now you can buy the 2007 book (good through December 31) for $10, including shipping.

Shhh! I've found an EVEN BETTER deal. While supplies last, ThriftSmart on Nolensville Road has 2007 Citipass books for only $5. All profits go to supporting Christian charities like African missions and the Mercy Children's Clinic in Franklin.

You can earn that back using your first coupon!

I bought one immediately. It's a lot like the Entertainment Book, but I thought the Nashville Citipass offers a greater diversity of independent businesses.

The 2007 Nashville Citipass lists nearly 100 restaurants and businesses near the Brentwood area. Here are a few of my favorite coupons:

• 5 & Diner in Franklin


• Alpine Bagel Co. in Maryland Farms


• Back Yard Burgers in Maryland Farms, Cool Springs, and Franklin


• Bricks Cafe on Nolensville Rd. and Franklin

Wait, that's not all! Here are a few notable Nashville attractions which also offer buy-one, get-one-free coupons in the 2007 Citipass book:
