$5 Off at AMC Theatres at Rosedale w/Donation
If you’ll be braving Rosedale Mall soon, there’s a nice opportunity to do some giving and to receive, too. As part of Give & Receive Weekend, Rosedale will be giving a $5 gift card to anyone who donates a new toy or outerwear item to the mall’s Giving Tree. The offer is good only on 12/17-18 while supplies last. Note: The link says 12/18-19, but it also said weekend. I called and confirmed this deal is going on Saturday and Sunday, 12/17-12/18.
Once Upon A Child Clearance Sale, Gift Card Deal
Select Once Upon A Child stores will be having a serious clearance blowout Saturday, 12/17. As the day goes on, discounts will go from 50% off to 70% off on select items. See the Once Upon A Child Clearance details for more information.
If you want to shop at a later date, now is also a good time to purchase Once Upon A Child gift cards. Through 12/23, they are offering a free $10 gift card with the purchase of a $25 gift card. (In theory, one could purchase the gift card and get the bonus gift card and spend them on the clearance sale above to save some extra cash, but I’m not willing to say that this would definitely work.)
$1 Screenings of A Christmas Story and It’s A Wonderful Life
Two favorite Christmas films, A Christmas Story and It’s A Wonderful Life will have special evening screenings 12/21-23 at Riverview Theater in Minneapolis. Tickets are a whopping $2, or $1 with a non-perishable food donation. Even better, Riverview’s delicious popcorn and drinks will be just $1 each, too. See Riverview Theater’s website for more information.

Thanks for the post! The Riverview Theater sounds fun. Have you ever been? I’m wondering about parking??? Any idea if you have to pay for parking and/or if it’s easy to find?
Jen, it’s right on a corner in a mostly-residential neighborhood. There is a lot of on-street parking, but you may have to walk a block or two.
It’s a great little theater that doesn’t seem to have changed much in 50 years. The people are incredibly kind as well – once I got there with my children and realized I didn’t have enough cash for the tickets, and they let us in anyway…and asked if we wanted any snacks!
Thanks so much – we’ll give it a try :)
The Riverview is a great place! One of my favorite theaters in town.
