Giveaway: Family Flick Night

You know I love me some good deals - and anytime I can score something free by simply buying something (preferably with coupons!), I get excited!

Starting here in November, you can receive a free movie ticket when you purchase two specially marked packages of Big G cereals including Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix, and Reese´s Puffs cereal. All you have to do is visit generalmills.com/moviecash to enter the unique code found inside each box of cereal and print your free Movie Cash certificate (good for one admission of up to a $12 value at participating theatres) Easy peasy - and because the code is on the inside of the box, not inside the cereal bag, you can go ahead and enter those codes as soon as you get home, instead of waiting and forgetting... like I would do.


Since you can often find these cereals on sale for under $2.50 a box (don't forget to use coupons!), that's like snagging a $10 movie ticket for just $5 - plus you've got the cereal too. (Well, if you eat the cereal - I know the brands involved don't appeal to everyone) If you head over to the Pillsbury website, there's a printable coupon available that will save you $1 off 2 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch - which will make this deal even better if you like this cereal.

Thanks to MyBlogSpark and General Mills, I received a "Family Flick Night" gift pack with two of the boxes participating Big G cereals - Cinnamon Toast crunch and Lucky Charms, boy, was my DH happy - and four Movie Cash certificates. I'm saving them so we can all go see the new Disney movie coming up in a couple of weeks, Tangled.

Win it! Of course MyBlogSpark and General Mills doesn't want to leave you out! One lucky reader will win a "Family Flick Night" gift pack of their own! To enter, tell us how you make movie nights special for your family? (at home or the theater) Do you know what movie you will take your family (or friends) to see if you win?

As always, you can receive extra entries for:

-Subscribing to my feed OR publicly following my blog
-Blogging about this giveaway with a link back
-Tweeting about this giveaway 1X (leave the link in your comment below or @psychotichouse) example:

That's four (4) possible entries! Giveaway ends November 27th at 11:59 PM PST, and please leave your email address in your entry or have it available in your profile. US only, sorry :( Good luck everyone!! :)

We don't go out to the movies that often because it is so expensive, but we have movie nights in almost once a week and we do popcorn and lemonade and the kids get to pick their favorite movie to watch.

We so rarely go to the theater to see a movie, I don't even know what would be on--but if the latest Harry Potter would accept them, that is probably the one we would see. Movies on TV are treated much the same as a night out--popcorn, drinks and even a few other treats that wouldn't be found in a concession stand.
