Coupon Book Has Many Reedeming Features for Kids

A new edition of “Funderful Coupons for Kids and Their Families” has just come out, with coupons and discounts redeemable at hundreds of stores and organizations that cater to children in the Los Angeles area.

With separate editions for Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, the discount coupons range from $5 at Toys R Us to 25% at many upscale retailers. The coupons include savings that easily cover the $25 cost of the book.

Savings include a 20% discount on any purchase from Brooks Shoes for Kids, as well as 50% off a membership at My Gym. The coupons and discounts expire in October.

The books are sold at stores that advertise in it, including all locations of Brooks Shoes and in the Valley at Allen Edwards in Woodland Hills and Child Dreams in Sherman Oaks.

The book can also be ordered directly from Funderful by calling (818) 990-1299 or (310) 390-2344. If you want to use these books as a fund-raising item, the folks at Funderful will sell them to bona fide groups for $15 each, which allows for a $10 profit.
