Deals with robots.

I wanted to buy the movie Robots when it came out last Tuesday. The debut day came, and I decided it would be better to wait until payday on Friday to buy it. On Friday, I had a "Dining Divas" event to attend at Mama Alvino's, so I decided to buy the boys frozen dinners as easy meals during their time with a babysitter.

I ran to Baker's close by since I was just grabbing those dinners quickly. When we walked in, there was an end-cap display set up with Robots. I saw that the price said $19.99, and I thought to myself, "Nah, I can get it for $17-something at Wal*Mart later, I'm sure." Right then, though, I noticed an advertisement underneath the movies. If you purchased the DVD Robots, you got all of the following for free:
  • a 3-pack box of ACT II® microwave popcorn, any variety (I chose 'Movie Butter')

  • an 8-pack box of Pop-Tarts®, any variety (I went with 'Strawberry Iced')

  • a 4-pack carton of any variety Hunts® pudding (we chose 'Chocolate Caramel Swirl')

  • an 18oz. jar of Peter Pan® peanut butter ('Creamy with Extra Calcium')

  • a 15oz. package of E.L. Fudge cookies (we grabbed 'Deluxe Grahams')

  • a Kid's Cuisine® frozen dinner (hey, that's what I was coming for in the first place!)

That was about $10-11 worth of stuff! Of course, it's all snack-y junk food, but it's all stuff that we all love, too. I decided it was worth it, so I just grabbed a second frozen dinner and then we were set to check out. Good deal! :-)

For us, it came out to be about $10.50, but I suppose it would depend on your store and where you live. Still - very cool!

Definitely!
