I love going on dates with my husband. I really love when those dates are FREE! I love finding good deals. But I really LOVE when I find things for FREE! Well, a few days ago the Lord blessed us with not only a great deal, but a great FREE DATE! I want you to enjoy this blessing too!
A few days ago I began worshipping the Lord in my office (while listening to Jesus Culture on youtube). Shortly after I began my worship time, Emma (our 2 years and 4 month old) came in with her picture Bible to “worship Jesus too.” It was a sweet time of putting the Lord first, but it didn’t last long. Moments later Emma said “let’s dance!” So we danced a little bit before the Lord and laughed together in His presence.
Great Deal
Right after that moment, I looked at the ads to find deals on chocolate chips. (I needed to make cookies for the holidays.) Chocoloate chips are always the expensive part to the recipe so I was looking for a sale–a big one. I found chocolate chips on sale for $1.79 for a 12 oz bag. Great!
After looking a little more closely I found that if you bought 2 First Street items (that were on the list) then you could get a $13 free movie ticket to the new movie Parental Guidance (PG) coming out on December 25th. Really?! There had to be some catch. Emma and I headed to the store and bought 2 bags of chocolate chips.
Trip To Smart ‘N Final
We came home with chocolate chips and our receipt. I typed in the website www.activaterewards.com/smartandfinal and filled out the information. Everything seemed to work out well. They will send the ticket via email in 3 days.
There is a limit to 1 ticket per person. So you know what Robert (my husband) did that night? He went to the store to buy some chocolate chips (per my strong encouragement)! Now we have a free date to see a movie. I don’t think we’ve been to the movies in over a year but at least we’ll have some alone time together.
I don’t know much about the movie other than it’s PG. So I’m not endorsing the movie. I’m just endorsing the FREE!
What To Do:
1) Visit any Smart ‘N Final before December 18, 2012.
2) Purchase 2 items on the First Street selection (e.g. chocolate chips, coconut, oats, etc.)
3) Save your receipt.
4) Visit www.activaterewards.com/smartandfinal and input your info.
5) Enjoy this movie ticket or give it away as a gift!
The Lord is so good to give us great deals AND free dates (or outings)! Now go make some cookies!

That’s awesome! Our family went to see this movie at a movie screening. It wasn’t completely finished, but we ALL laughed so hard!! I would recommend this movie to everyone, kids ages 5 & up I’d say…..all the way to Great grandparents.
Enjoy your date
Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. What a fun blessing for you guys and the rest of us! Thank you!
