That includes Tom Thumb, Randall’s, Vons and a bunch more. Check out http://www.safeway.com to find out how to get 2 free movie tickets with your purchase of $40. From the chatter I believe that is $40 before coupons. You must purchase from a long list of brands (make sure to check every category on the site). Easy to do if you shop there regularly and spend that much (I don’t). I believe there is a limit of 2 (per card), so if you have multiple cards this is a great deal for you!  Even if you don’t go to movies this could be a nice gift.

Barnes & Noble is offering an incentive for kids to read. You can read all the details here, but the lowdown is:

• 1. Kids read any 8 books.
  2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs it when it’s complete.
  3. Children bring their completed journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 29th & September 2nd, 2008.
  4. We’ll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.*
     Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from eligible stock. No special orders. Limit of 1 form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.

This is a great incentive for kids to read, PLUS get a FREE book! Local library have various reading programs throughout the summer too, but they usually give out cheap prizes (pencils, tiny spiral notebooks, rulers, etc.).

I don’t particularly like reading programs for my children because I firmly believe the reward is IN the reading. However, if you can get a great freebie from this and your children enjoy reading programs, go for it!
