FUN! 50% OFF Studio Movie Grill Tickets with Today’s Groupon

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 2 comments

Here’s a great Groupon to “put in the back pocket” for a fun outing with the family this summer. Unlike most daily deals, there is no limit to how many tickets you can buy with this Groupon (LOVE that!).

50% OFF At Studio Movie Grill!

Groupon has launched a savings offer of 50% OFF Studio Movie Grill Tickets ~ 3 locations to choose from in DFW (Including Arlington). When you buy today’s Groupon for $6, you will get a gift certificate for a movie ticket and a soda valid until July 28, 2011.

There doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of tickets you can purchase, so that’s great if you want to bring the whole family or go multiple times.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s 50% OFF deal.
Select Dallas as Your Groupon City ~ look for the offer in the right-hand side bar.
Buy your Groupon before the end of the day.
You do have until July 28th to use your Groupon. Since
there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would
recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events across the country. I’ve seen their local offers include everything from 50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tour, 50% Off Nordstrom Rack to 75% Off window cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between! I’ve even bought Groupon deals in other cities as a way to save on restaurant dining and entertainment when we travel.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer (or sign up for their emails to have them delivered to your inbox)!

Enjoy and Share! :)
