Movies

We don't do grading presents but I do like to have an experience with the girls when school is finished.  We went to Boston Pizza for lunch the day after school ended, bearing their report cards for a free kid's meal.  Then we were planning to attend a movie, Finding Dory.  Going to the theatre is expensive!
I had bought 2 passes at Costco that includes admission and a kid pack.   I bought them online where Costco allows you to register your aeroplan miles and collect miles, and then I paid with MasterCard for airmiles.   I printed it at home and used it for the kids.
While at Boston pizza I told our server we were going to e movies after. He reminded me that they sell movie passes for $8, $3 cheaper then paying at the theatre.   Score, as I had taken advantage of Sobeys offer a few weeks ago and I had $200 in Boston Pizza gift cards. At the restaurant I bought my ticket and paid with the gift card.  
For my husband's ticket I had filled out a McDonald's survey that was sent to me via email when I joined McDonald's Facebook group in January.  There was a code that made a movie $5 when a ticket was bought online. BONUS I could use the scene card for points.
At the theatre I used the 2 Costco kid passes, my pass from Boston Pizza at the conseccion stand and collected Scene points on it all!! The movie was great and felt good knowing the price was cheaper then buying at the theatre.  

Organizing for supper

Our deep freezer was bursting at the seams, a great problem to have, but it can be a challenge. I was soon going to count getting ingredient...
