Just tried to get the free screening and they are out. Bummer!
Any website suggestions that I can find to sign up for free movie screenings? We went to one last night with free tickets from my hair salon and it was GREAT! Anything to save $ on movies these days.
Thanks! This website is truly a lifesaver and much enjoyed! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON HELPING EVERYONE IN MN SAVE $. I’m from CA, and this is so nice to have and go off of.
Julie – I know a lot of radio stations give away free movie tickets, so you could try checking their websites for the ones in your area and enter those giveaways. (That’s what I used to do before I realized I didn’t have time to enter sweepstakes anymore.)
I love the link to the Reinassence Festival ticket for free child!
Thank you!
