Disney Blue Ray Movies

 

 New Disney Upgrade program

Just select the movies on the list you have.

Print out the form and attach the proofs of purchase.

They will the e-mail you coupons for $8.00 off the purchase of the movie in Blue Ray.

Great way to transition into Blue Ray.

I know they didn't offer this when we changed from VHS to DVD, what's up with that?

Walmart: Merry Madagascar DVD for $1.50!!

In the 2009 Holiday Gift Giving Guide, Walmart

Walmart has Merry Madagascar for just $4 through 12/24.  When you buy the movie and one Kraft item, you can get this $2.50 rebate back HERE.  That makes the movie only $1.50 after the rebate!  If you are going to go ahead and buy some Kraft items anyway (which most of us do), then why not get a movie deal out of it?

New movie coupon

 

Here's a coupon worth $10 off Disney's new Santa Buddies DVD. Print either IE  or FF. There are two rebate offers available, too, here and here. Thanks PrintableCouponsandDeals.com! There's also a $5 off coupon for Snow White here. Rebates are available here and here.

Don't forget, Wal-Mart has a variety of top sellers priced at only $10 on their web site. (Or should I say $9.98) And that price includes shipping. (Santa Buddies is one of those movies, by the way.) The same selection of preorders are all priced at $9.99 on Amazon.com. To get free Super Saver shipping on these movies when ordering from Amazon.com, your order will need to total at least $25.

Cheap Zoo Admission

Don't forget, admission to Hogle Zoo is free on Wednesday, Nov. 25 as part of the zoo's wintertime "Wild Wednesdays" promotion. This is really a great deal, given the fact that regular admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors and $7 for children ages 3 to 12. (Children under the age of 3 are free.) Get in free to this fun attraction on Dec. 30, Jan. 27 and Feb. 24 as well.

Upcoming kids clinics

 

Here are the upcoming free workshops for children at Home Depot (pictured above) and Lowe's (pictured below).  There's such high demand for these clinics these days, I like to post them well before they are scheduled.  Sign up for the Lowe's clinics online here.  Check with your local Home Depot store for signup information as individual stores handle this differently.

Yes it’s that time again
