Saving at the Movies This Summer!

This is a good way to save money at the movies this summer! Now at Costco you can buy  $25 worth of gift certificates for $17.99! These are good for the Landmark Cinemas and are available for the provinces of Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan a Manitoba and the Yukon. If you click on the photo below you can see which cities it works for. Here in Kelowna it works for the Grand 10 and the Paramount. This is almost a 30% savings! We tried it out and went to the Grand 10 on Tuesday. Our tickets for an advanced screening of The Lone Ranger worked out to only $3.96/person!
The Tuesday Big Deal: Admission, Med Popcorn, Med Soft drink is regularly $11.99. If you stop and get these gift certificates first you end up paying $8.63!

Also, if you sign up to receive the cineplex.com newsletter you get a free medium popcorn coupon to print.

Bonus Airmiles

This came in a mailing from airmiles.You may remember my post about  bonus airmiles and Shell a little while back. At that time they offered 100 airmiles(our free movies and popcorn and pop gift certificates are on their way!) if you filled up 4 times with a $30 purchase each time. Now it's 50 airmiles and you need to spend $40 4 times. Last time I found it worth it as it worked out to $18.84(movie coupons)for 100 airmiles. This time it works out to $9.50. According to my calculations if I did what I usually do(fill up at Superstore)I'd get $5.69 in gas bucks for the same $160 spent. On top of that my credit card pays me 5% on my gas purchases so that's another $8. So from my point of view I would save(or make?)more($13.69-$9.50=$4.19) by doing what I always do. Plus, I wouldn't have to make 4 special trips to Shell.

It's always interesting to see how it all works out, according to your circumstances! Maybe it will be beneficial for you?
