How does going to the movies for FREE sound to you?
Sounds good, uh?
I don’t know about you but I don’t remember the last time my family and I went to the movies. Number one reason: It’s quite expensive, especially when there’s five people going. Between the movie tickets, popcorn, drinks for everyone AND candy, the price of a movie outing can easily cost approximately $60 (depending where you live).
You know for $60, you can buy a few bags of groceries, right? That is exactly why I decided to review the new e-movie cash codes that are inside specially marked brands of Big G (General Mills) cereals, that was started in early November.
Thanks to MyBlogSpark and General Mills (Big G), my family and I were able to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 with the 5 e-movie cash tickets that were sent to me for free. My kids lucked out too. They got to eat two of their favorite cereals — a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a box of Reese’s Puffs.
Like I said before, it’s been awhile since we’ve been to the movies so this was a very special treat for all of us. The kids were ecstatic! It was a great movie even though I felt like I was left hanging wanting more but I guess I’ll wait patiently for Part 2 next July (darn!). So if you’re a Harry Potter lover like us, than you’ll definitely enjoy this one, that is if you don’t mind waiting til’ next year for the finale.
How to get a FREE e-movie cash ticket:
When you purchase two specially marked packages of Big G cereals including Honey Nut Cheerios® (17 oz.), Cinnamon Toast Crunch® (17 oz.), Lucky Charms® (16 oz.), Trix® (14.8 oz) and Reese´s Puffs® cereal (18 oz.), you can receive a free movie ticket by entering the two unique codes found inside each box of cereal at generalmills.com/moviecash and print out your free Movie Cash certificate (good for one admission of up to a $12 value at particiapting theaters. To find a participating theater in your area, log onto http://emoviecash.com/dis_locator/.

I make popcorn and we snuggle under blankets together while we watch the movie.
Movie nights out we make special by going to our favorite restaurant – Olive Garden – for dinner first, then going for a drive or stroll before going to the theater for a movie. Aftewards we’ll come home and make a snack and talk about the movie!

We let the kids take turns picking out a movie. That way it’s “their” movie night.
My husband loves movies but we usually don’t plan to go to the movie theater.. we tend go as a last minute thing and that makes it special

We make movie night special by setting down all other things we have going on and focusing on the movie and each other. We can be so easily distracted by the mail, the laptop, etc. but it’s valuable to just sit and actually relax.
