How deep will your Macy’s discounts go?

Looking for ways to reduce the cost of movie tickets so you can see the latest new releases for about the same cost as a dinner date?  Plastic Jungle’s Regal Cinemas discount gift cards save you 12% each time you use them to pay for movie tickets and concessions stand purchases like popcorn, soda, and candy.

Compare movie ticket prices.

Getting reduced movie tickets is part timing and part skill.  Check your local Regal Cinemas to see if movie ticket prices are cheaper during certain times of the day or certain days of the week.  Pick the right showing for which to buy your movie tickets, and you’ll get the best price.  Make the price of any ticket to any Regal movie 12% less if you buy your movie tickets with Regal Cinemas discounts gift cards from Plastic Jungle.

Two must-see 2 hour movies.

All the trend is longer movies and movies with sequels.  You might shrug and wonder why.  I don’t claim to have the answer but I can attest that The Hobbit and Les Miserables are two longer movies well worth seeing.

No matter the length of the film, a movie ticket is a movie ticket.  Stretch your dollars further from film to film by paying for tickets to your next movie with discount Regal Entertainment Group gift cards from Plastic Jungle.

Details on getting areduced movie tickets to see The Hobbit.

For LOTR (Lord of the Rings) enthusiasts, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been a long anticipated film.  Hear the back story on how ‘the precious gold ring’ came into possession first-hand from Frodo Baggins’ uncle, Bilbo Baggins.  Go to the box office of your local Regal theatre or buy tickets online from Regal Entertainment Group and get a 12% price reduction when you pay with discount Regal Cinemas gift cards.

How to get a reduced-fare Les Mis movie ticket.

Bring tissues, this musical adapted to the big screen is just as powerful as seeing it live.  Les Miserables takes place in 19th century France and follows an ex-prisoner and orphan whose parallel lives intertwine and bring renewed hope and purpose.  This film is definitely a must-see for those who enjoy music or history.  In some ways, one could view this film as having comparable passion as a modern day Titanic.

IMAX, 3D, 2D.  Save on all movie viewing experiences.

You want to make the movie screen pop?  Go see The Hobbit in 3D or on IMAX.  One of the unique benefits of Regal Cinemas discount gift cards is you can use them to reduce the price on movie tickets for any type of viewing experience.

Maybe you’ve had the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S for over a year now or you’re a devout Android user but you’re ready to take the plunge.  Just a few weeks back you’d be looking at a $199 price tag on the new Apple iPhone 5 (sorry if you already did this!).  With Walmart discount gift cards and Walmart’s deeply discounted iPhone 5 sale, you can score the new iPhone 5 for $124 with a 2-year contract.

Getting an Apple iPhone 5 for everyone in your family for the holidays makes a lot of sense.

If you’re eligible for a phone upgrade, now it the time to redeem your phone upgrade for the best value.

Walmart is offering the lowest price on the iPhone 5 we have seen!  In the last week they’ve dropped the cost from $199 to $127 – a near 50% price cut.  Walmart’s iPhone 5 discount pricing is only good through Jan. 13, 2013. (30 days from the iPhone 5 price cut which began on Friday, December 14, 2012)

You can change cell phone carriers and still save bucko bucks.

Not eligible to upgrade to the iPhone 5?  Grab a sheet of paper and try to wrap your wallet around this approach.  According to this article on cnet.com it just might be cheaper to pay the termination fee with your current carrier and find a new cell phone carrier.  Conveniently, when you buy a discounted iPhone 5 from Walmart you have access to your choice of cell phone carriers including AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon.

The Apple iPhone 5 has the incredible ability to awesome photos!

Okay… I need to be honest.  I was at an event the other night with a friend that has the new iPhone 5.  We were both taking photos and she asked me to take a photo for her family using her phone (the iPhone 5).  After framing the background, I took the photo and had to blink my eyes at what I saw on the screen.  My photos (taken on my dear iPhone 4S) did not appear THAT bright.  Her hubby pulled me aside and tried to fix the settings on my phone, but low and behold after a failed attempt… my friend said “It’s the Retina display.”  Drat.  If I want the same brightness and pizazz I will need to join the iPhone 5 bandwagon.

There’s peace of mind when buying an Apple iPhone 5 from an Apple Authorized Dealer.

Sure, you could try to get a discounted iPhone 5 from a site like eBay or Craigslist for an unbelievable price, but why put yourself in a situation where your money might not bring about a brand-new, working iPhone 5?  Don’t settle for less than the real iPhone 5.

What are you waiting for?  Get your frugal shopping cart on Walmart discount gift cards immediately so you can get a tremendous bargain on the new Apple iPhone 5!

What’s hot this holiday season?  The user-friendly iPad Mini tablet.

Full-price, the Apple iPad Mini sells for $329 on Apple.com and at Apple Stores.

How can you an iPad Mini for less than full-price?

Well… you’re not likely to see any retailer (Apple Stores or even… eh hem… Best Buy who has been offering discounts on many Apple products this holiday season) discount this hot, new Apple product.  While the iPad Mini sells for $170 less than the new iPad with Retina Display, getting an iPad Mini for less than $329 is a real possibility when you know how to use discount gift cards like an Apple Store coupon.

How can you create your own Apple Store discount?

Buy Apple Store discount gift cards while they’re in stock at PlasticJungle.com.  Choose from the $75 Apple Store gift cards which cost $71.62 and the $25 Apple Store gift cards marked down to $23.87.  You pay 4.5% less than face value for each gift card.  In turn, when you pay for your iPad Mini with Apple Store discount gift cards you get the newest iPad product for $14.81 less than the ticket price.  You create your own Apple Store sale, discount or coupon (whatever you want to call it) when you buy Apple Store discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle.

Apple Store discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle are a rare way to save on the new iPad Mini.

iPad Mini discounts were not found on Black Friday.  If you’re wondering if this iPad Mini discount price is common, Google away or ask anyone who shopped on Black Friday.  The iPad Mini was one of the items customers were shocked did not have a discounted price on Black Friday.

The iPad Mini does not qualify for special Apple Education pricing.  Sorry folks, if you’re a teacher or a student you can’t buy an iPad Mini from the Apple Education Store for 5% off.

Two color choices.

Pick from black & slate or white & silver.

Free shipping.

Apple Store offers free shipping and engraving on your new iPad Mini.  Check to see if your iPad Mini order can be delivered in time for Christmas.

Office furniture, in-ear headphones which isolate the listener from the outside world… work, play, and travel with the right equipment for less when you take advantage of special holiday pricing at Staples.

Whether you are searching for the perfect first teddy bear or the ideal replacement teddy bear, this holiday season is a great money-saving time to get children of age and at heart a long-lasting teddy bear from Build-A-Bear Workshop.

How do you know you have found the right bear?

Something in your heart just knows when you’ve found the perfect new stuffed companion.

Have you ever visited Build-A-Bear Workshop?  Maybe you helped your child put a beautiful red heart into the body of their new furry buddy before it was stuffed.

Build-A-Bear stuffed animals are adorable and personalized.  Pick from Hello Kitty, The Grinch, a special gift for baby’s first Christmas, bunnies, wild animals, mini furry friends, and more.

Never had a Build-A-Bear bear before?

Trying new toys can feel risky.  Good Housekeeping Institute has awarded Build-A-Bear its Seal of Approval which means Build-A-Bear products are backed by Good Housekeeping’s two-year money-back guarantee.

Order your child’s cuddly holiday teddy bear at buildabear.com and unlock secret savings by paying with discount Bear Bucks (also called Build-A-Bear discount gift cards).

Ladies, I have to confess, I know where the corporate headquarters of Build-A-Bear is located.  I’ll give you two hints.  It’s in one of the states that has three Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park locations and it’s roughly in the middle of the United States.  Yes, St. Louis for all you geography buffs.  I actually got to visit the World Bearquarters about a month ago for a training.  It was amazing.  And not only do employees get to bring their dogs to work, the company was founded by a woman, too!

Still have holiday shopping to do but looking for a good bargain?  For ladies apparel New York & Company is the place to find good prices on great styles for working out, staying warm, and layering up.
