As I mentioned on my food blog recently, I love to cook, but going out to eat is my vice, and it can get expensive! For the last couple years, we've invested in coupon books to take the edge off of eating at restaurants- usually saving 50% on meals at places we'd want to try anyway!
Locally, the Zoobook was the go-to coupon book for the Indianapolis area. Well, Zoobooks has changed its name to the Discover Indy Savings Book, and it's as good as ever! I got one of these coupon books to leave in my car for when the urge hits to eat out or do something around town, and I'm impressed at the variety of establishments represented. This year, there's even a whole page of free, no-purchase-necessary coupons- Josh used one just last month to grab lunch at Rally's when he forgot the one I packed for him at home. Check out all of the offers, or follow DiscoverIndy on Twitter to get updates on coupons.
All of the Indianapolis area is represented- some of the restaurants and entertainment venues are on my side of town, but I'm looking forward to exploring other areas and new-to-us restaurants too! Even if you're just in Indianapolis occasionally, the book will more than pay for itself after just one or two uses. The 2010 books just went on sale last month, full of coupons that don't expire until December 2010. Buying the book earlier will allow you to get more for your money.

I love living in central Indiana because of the weather. It is constantly changing, but each season has its own beauty - the flowers in spring, the heat of the summer, the colors of fall, and the sparkle of winter.
Thanks for the giveaway offer!
I love living in central Indiana because of the wide variety of family friendly activities.

I love living in central Indiana because it is close to family, but not too close. :) I also agree with Andrea that the seasons changing is awesome!
I love visiting the people and the city!

I love central Indiana, because of the Zoo & the Children's Museum! Oh, and because much of my family lives nearby.

It may sound weird but I love that it is so clean. We have visited other states and it is amazing how clean things are here. And I admit I like 465 and being able to jump on and off.

I'm not to the "love" stage yet, but I REALLY LIKE living in central Indiana because it's like living in a small town but still has all the offerings of a big city. Coming from the suburbs of Chicago there is some adjusting, but I do LOVE the less traffic. :)
Central Indiana is quite family friendly and much slower paced than I was used to, so it really is great!
Thanks!!

There's a lot I love about Central Indiana. The seasons are great. Winters aren't too bad and I love Spring and Fall...especially the chilly mornings/evenings combined with warm days.
I also like the small town feel of so many of the larger cities. Of course, I also like the actual small towns.
I also like the affordability of living and learning here.
Coupon books also rock.
My blog post is up with a link to your giveaway!http://squirrelchatter.blogspot.com/2009/09/web-finds-wednesday.html
Mr favorite thing about living here is the dirt. Clay loam has its drawbacks, but it's fertile and grows mostly everything.
It is easy to raise a family here yet we have most of the amenities that major metropolitan areas have.
