Sixty years ago, your grandpa and his freckle-faced friends could bee-bop into a movie for a nickel. Then came World Wars, 80s shoulder pads, and global warming to melt away the mile of snow they had to walk through to get to there. Now, movie tickets cost as much as Gramp's first house and rising prices have reduced movie lovers to huddling around our mailboxes, waiting eagerly for last summer's blockbuster to be delivered.
But, thanks to this deal Tippster Nik worked out with WeeklyCinema, you can stop freaking out your mailman and actually go to the movies--just like in olden days. Today, just $20 buys four movie tickets from WeeklyCinema – a $56 value!

Updated Blockbuster Express Free Rental Codes 09/20/10


If you haven't heard by now, Blockbuster express is now appearing around Metro Detroit, attempting to compete with the success of RedBox rentals! Looks like since redbox goes after larger National stores like Meijer, 7-11 and Kroger in our area, they are tackling the smaller more regionalize grocers like VG’s, Oak Ridge Market and Hollywood Market. So I am happy to report there is now one at my local Speedway!   There is one at the Pontiac VGs and Sav-a-Lot, Tenuta's in Waterford and Hollywood Market in Bloomfield. So if you haven't checked recently check again  You can check out locations near you here. Additionally to get these codes first and fast you will want to sign up for the blockbuster express emails on the same page. 2/3 of the way down on the lefthand side is a spot to sign up for emails.
The July monthly code is now up on the kiosks! Look for it even if you forget to bring your list!

Thanks Couponing to Disney! for the above two codes

Add a movie to your cart, view cart, then add promo before you pay.  The cases in these are great and look sturdy and I like the style of the kiosk.  Not sure how fun an outside one will be at my speedway in the rain, but at least I have one close!
Remember these are use one per credit/debit card so you can make it stretch!  And don't forget to return before 9 p.m. the next day to avoid being charged $1 per day.  Let me know what your experience has been when them! If any of these do not work please leave a message in the comments section so I have have them removed.

My shopping style at Target primarily consists of working Gift Card deals to get things for free in my stockpile or treats for myself that I can get there cheap (like Sobe life waters and frozen meals).  Once in a great while when I build up enough gift cards I will grab things for very cheap and free when the coupons are right.  Be sure to bring your reusable bags with your for $.05 credit. I haven't had time to get to Target in a while and I haven't had time to really even look at match-ups!  Looks like a good deal this week on Healthy Choice meals.
