Buy General Mills cereal and go to movies – Giveaway
By TheAngelForever | November 16, 2009
Since I had my oldest son, over six years ago, I can count the number of times I have seen a movie in the theater on one hand. Sad to say, but very true. At first it was trying to find time to go with a newborn, then it was what to see with a child and quickly after that can we afford to go with the skyrocketing price of admission?
Imagine buying some of your favorite cereals and being able to submit codes to get free tickets to see a movie. The great news is that this is a reality. There is a current promotion from General Mills called e-movie cash.
When I was contacted about this promotion, it was news to me. We buy a lot of the participating cereal, but I had not seen the boxes in our stores yet. I was sent a "Movie Moment" prize pack that included 4 e-movie cash certificates ($12 each) and one free coupon for a free General Mills Cereal.
As soon as our tickets arrived, my husband and I started to think. Should we see what family movies are coming out and try to take both of the boys? Or, should we do two date nights to the movies for the two of us? We still have not decided, but are working on that now that several new movies that look interesting are coming out.
Details about the e-movie cash promotion:
Starting in November, you can receive a free movie ticket when you purchase two specially marked packages of General Mills’ Cereals. After purchasing two cereals, visit generalmills.com/moviecash to enter the code found inside each box of cereal and print your free movie certificate good for admission to any movie.
Participating brands include select sizes of: Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix and Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs.
To find a participating theater near you, log onto http://emoviecash.com/dis_locator/.
I know that we will be buying more of the participating cereals (love Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch in our house) and log the code from the specially marked boxes to obtain some additional e-movie cash for our family. At this time every little bit helps, especially when you can use something you already buy to score some nice family entertainment for free.
Giveaway:
Thanks to MyBlogSpark and General Mills, one lucky reader will win their very own "Movie Moment" prize pack. Remember, this includes 4 e-movie cash certificates ($12 each) and one free coupon for a General Mills cereal.

I have 4 children so like you we don’t go to the theaters often. I did take the kids to see Brother Bear together for their first movie. It was a promo. We also are able to hit the theaters in the summer thanks to Regal doing free movies.

My kids love Reeses Puffs and Trix for favorite cereals.(I have 4 of them so it was a split tie)
I have managed to find one of the specially marked reeses puffs so far(and bought it).
November 30th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Gah! I left my email off the last post bonus entry. I think Planet 51 looks adorable. However, I would be democratic and let the kids vote on it. I would take all 4 kids and I would either purchase my ticket or hopefully find another specially marked package before then. I love this promo because this way I can actually afford the concessionary stand.
