I have to admit that I enjoy jumping in whenever I see the words free, frugal,giveaway, etc. My mind started spinning around with the words free. Just like this time of year. Graduations, Weddings, Father’s Day, etc. I start looking for all the frugal tips. I even normally jump in and share some of the most used frugal tips or freebies that I find.
That’s a whole lotta movies!
Here’s one more program for good measure – it’s a summer reading program that National Amusements is running this year.
National Amusements is a movie theater chain that owns Cinema de lux, thebridge, Showcase Cinemas, and Multiplex Cinemas. The child must read a book and write a simple book report using their Book Report Form.
The form is available at http://www.nationalamusements.com/forms/BWEntryForm2009.pdf.
Just present the completed Book Report Form each Wednesday at 10AM at participating theaters from 7/8/09 through 8/12/09 and that book report will be good for one free admission to the selected movie for that showing – that’s 6 free movies.
Sound good? There’s more!
Any parents accompanying the child that submitted the book report AND children under 6 years old also get to get in for free!
