Have you ever heard of Gold Class Cinemas? This is a new kind of theater experience – it’s not a thrifty option, but definitely sounds like a very fun, unique experience for a special occasion or date night! It’s not only a theater, but a restaurant as well – you’ll be  seated in recliner seats & then you can order food & drinks to be served to you as you watch the movie.  Sounds like a very classy place!

Well, Gold Class Cinemas was recently featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show &  they are now offering a FREE Vegan sugar-free dessert for Ellen viewers.  You’ll need to print off the voucher & bring it with you to the theater. One voucher per person (so it sounds like each person could get the free dessert).  This coupon is valid thru 4/31/10.

You will need to pay for the movie tickets; however, no additional food purchase is required.  Movie prices are $32/ticket – however, if you sign up for the FREE Gold Class Membership, you can buy tickets at the member price of $22/ticket as well as receive other discounts (half-price tickets on Tuesdays, Thursdays Buy 3 Get 1 free & 1 free ticket for your birthday).

If you’re interested in purchasing additional food, you’ll want to consider buying a Restaurant.com gift certificate.  You can buy a $25 gift certificate for $10 to Gold Class Cinemas (to be used on your food purchases; no alcohol; dinner only).  Of course, if you find a good sale (typically they have 50% or more sales on Restaurant.com gift certificates – if you sign up for their email list, you’ll know when the sales are happening), then you could buy a $25 gift certificate for as low as $2-3.  Thanks for this great tip, FB fan Shannon!
