Bargain Moose

Cineplex Canada is going to be offering a great deal.  Starting 18th February 2012, they will be featuring a family favorite movie every Saturday morning for just $2.50 each.

Every Saturday at 11am, Cineplex Canada is offering family favorites for just $2.50 a ticket.  This price includes the tax and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Starlight Children’s Foundation of Canada. This event runs from 18th February until 28th April with a different “oldie but goodie” movie showing each weekend. Some of the movies include Shrek, E.T, Madagascar, The Muppet Movie and The Neverending Story.  I can’t wait for my kids to see The Neverending Story because it was my favorite movie growing up!

This not only would be a fun family thing to do on a budget but I think this would make a very affordable birthday party idea. It costs so much money to rent places out or to go somewhere to host a birthday party (especially in the winter time), but this is a great alternative for a party on a budget.

(Great post from Craty in the deals forum!)

Thanks to sanders for posting this deal on the community forum.

My friend just forwarded me a great email from Best Buy Canada, with a promo code for 5 free movie rentals from the Best Buy movie kiosks!

Click here to check for Best Buy kiosks near you

• Promo code: RZFREE
• Discount: 5 free movie rentals
• Expires: 15th February 2012

You can get either DVD or blu-ray movie rentals with this free coupon. I believe the Best Buy movie kiosks are mainly in Western Canada, so this deal will only apply to the Moosers there.

I don’t really like copy and pasting a load of information, but it seems to be the best way to show you all the details about this deal:

How to get your 5 free movie rentals:

Simply visit a Best Buy Movie Kiosk conveniently located at select Mac’s and Canadian 7-Eleven stores, enter your exclusive Reward Zone member-only code in the machine, follow the simple steps, and you’re done.

Coupon Instructions

1. Select your movie, click “next” then “rent”
2. Select “Coupon”
3. Enter the promo code (RZFREE), click “ok” and then “ok” again on the next screen.
4. Scan Credit Card

There you have it! You don’t need a Best Buy rewards card, just the above details and your credit card. They only need the credit card in case you bring back the movies late, or run off with the movies!

Father of the bride part 1 & 2 are a combo pack on sale for just $7.35, as well as a 4 film combo pack of Sandra Bullock DVDs on sale for just $12.99.  The movies in this pack include Two weeks notice, ya-ya sisterhood, and Miss Congeniality parts 1 & 2.  That comes to just $3.25 a DVD for all 4. Movies are limited in quantities and very popular titles will probably sell out quickly.

Thank you so much to Crafty for posting this wonderful deal on the hot deals forum. I like the comment that Mooser peepsi16 left:

love this show!! Really worth the 15 bucks!!

So many people I know just love this show – evidently it is one of the best things on television! This is one of my favourite reviews from Amazon Canada:

Absolutely over the top! Intense drama, comedy, stinging social commentary. Wonderfully drawn, sympathetic characters at odds with people and obstacles that will rezonate with just about everyone. This is a whole different Brian Cranston with a real, struggling family and an almost unparalleled convergence of circumstances that lead him to essentially violate his entire ethical worldview. Oh, and how crazy and fun it all is. I can’t wait for the second season!

Over at Amazon.ca, they are selling their Blu-ray DVDs up to 82% off the regular prices.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Horrible Bosses was $39.99/ now $10
• Speed was $16.99/ now $5
• Despicable Me DVD/Blu-ray combo pack was $46.99/ now $12.99
• Hangover Part 2 was $44.99/ now $19.99

There is a really good mix of old and new movies, as well as TV shows and combo packs to choose from.  I have watched all of the movies listed above and loved them so anyone of them is a great choice. Anyone that has a Blu-ray player knows that they can be pretty pricey to buy the DVDs but these are great prices that won’t hurt your wallet. These also make great gifts!

This price is totally X-cellent! Get X-Men First Class Blu Ray + Digital Copy for only $15 (Orig $49.99). That is 70% off!

• Enjoy this first class X-Men movie on the cheap!

This is the price that my husband paid for it at 9 am on Boxing Day morning at Future Shop with the other insane movie lovers who had peeled their tired bodies out of bed to be in store at that hour. Now you can buy the Blu Ray from the comfort of your own home for only $15! This is a highly rated movie with Rotten Tomatoes All Critics giving it a 87% and the audience giving it a 88% rating.

The bonus to this Blu Ray is the digital copy, which allows you to put a copy of the movie on your computer, iPhone, tablet… or pretty much any electronically device. This is great for traveling and I love having a few of my movies with digital copies (even if it generally costs more) because it can reduce boredom when on the go and having to wait for anything!

This deal is totally awesome: 82% off The King’s Speech in Blu-ray, only $7 compared to the original price of $39.99 at Amazon Canada.

• Buy the Blu-ray King’s Speech for $7 @ Amazon

I haven’t seen the movie yet, however if you have drop us a line about what you think! The movie has a 4.5/5 star rating on Amazon. One of the reviewers starts out by giving us a rundown of the movie:

Stammering is a pretty common speech defect, and for most people it doesn’t have earthshattering consequences. But for one man, it might have. “The King’s Speech” chronicles the true-life story of King George VI’s struggle to gain the confidence to lead his nation — a powerful, tensely-written movie, with some truly brilliant performances.

I price compared with Chapters which has it currently priced at $18.19… far above Amazon’s price. A great deal to grab and even cheap enough to gift out to friends for birthdays and ‘just because’ occasions.

Part of the Chapters Canada Boxing Week Sales is up to 82% off newer release DVDs. With prices as low as $9.10, it’s a great time to pick up some favourites or get those few movies you haven’t had a chance to watch yet.

• Click here to shop this deal at Chapters

We watch quite a few movies, but I’ve yet to see  The King’s Speech($11.10) and Horrible Bosses ($11.51), both different kinds of movie, but both I’m sure we’d enjoy.

I really enjoyed and would recommend The Fighter ($13.20), Water For Elephants ($15.50), The Social Network ($10.39), and Bridesmaids ($11.10) which I’ve seen a total of 4 times already! I usually don’t like to buy a lot of movies unless I know it will be one that I will watch over and over again.
