Buy 10 General Mills and get 2 Free Movie Tickets

[talk2ham.1]

This advertisement ran off on a catalina in the store last week: "During purchase dates, buy any combination of 10 participating General Mills products and get 2 free movie tickets to see The Dark Knight. The deal doesn't start until 7/4 and runs till 7/10. We rarely get out to the theaters, but my husband and I had to postpone our date night last week due to conflicts in scheduling. It would be nice to go to a free movie instead later on. So I was just wondering if anyone has seen next week's ad yet and knows which are the "participating" GM products and if any are good deals right now.

Thanks for posting this. I love to be able to treat the kids to the movies but just buying things I would normally use. Definitely need to schedule an Acme trip now.

I got my ad early and just saw this which never happens.

Here's a couple of I am thinking of:

Chex Mix, B1G1
10 @ 3.19 = $31.90
less $15.95 for B1G1 = $15.95
less $10.00 (10qs .50 doubled to $1.00) = $5.95

Betty Crocker Warm Delights -- 3/$5
10 @ 1.66 = $16.66
less $11.00 (10 printables .55 double to $1.10) = $ $5.66

That is an amazing price for a movie ticket, forget that you're actually getting something food wise!

B/t this and the Giant Hershey Park Deal, we're set on entertainment for the summer!

Some other good item/coupon match ups for the movie tickets:
Curves granola bars 3.49ish b1g1 - 2x.75/1 IP several sources doubled = .49/2 boxes
Trix $2 - .55/1 IP same sources as Curves doubled = .90/box
Nature Valley Granola bars $2.33 - .60/1 IP doubled = $1.13 box
OEP taco shells or refried beans, $1 are both included for the tickets, as is OEP taco seasoning packets - use b2OEP get seasoning packet free peelie = $2/3 items

Side note - Kashi cereal cups are $10/10. I wonder if the $1/1 any Kashi cereal from the Go Organic booklet found at Acme awhile back would work on these making them free?

To those that have done this deal: is this only good on Batman, or is it good for any 2 Fandango tickets?

If you go with the Chex Mix, will buying 10 work since they are BOGO, would 2 count as 2 since one is free? TIA

Does anyone know if there is a limit on this? For instance if I meet the deal once this week and then on a second trip, do they give out two sets of tickets or is it only one no matter how much you purchase?

Thanks.

This is the same promo going on at Shaw's. See the detailed discussion, there is no limit. In many areas you can get a prepaid visa card instead
