If you are like a huge portion of the country, you are looking forward to seeing the Hunger Games movie, “Catching Fire” that just hit the theaters. Did you know you can score a free ticket to the Hunger Games: Catching Fire just by purchasing some of your favorite CoverGirl products?

I did it and here is how:

Go to any participating retailer (I chose Walgreen’s) and buy $20 worth of Covergirl products. This is the pre-sales tax price. Then head over to the Covergirl website to see how you can mail in a form (but, really, who has time for all that?) or simply email a picture of your receipt to them for a code that will give you a free pass to the movie at participating theaters.

What’s more, if you shop at Walgreen’s, you could almost do it for free. I did it with just $13.89 including tax. My total before discounts and coupons was $26.33. I had coupons for $4.00 off two Covergirl Eye products from the Sunday inserts last week and this week, Covergirl cosmetics are Buy 1, Get 1 50% off at most locations. I also had some Walgreen’s Balance Rewards. (Those things really come in handy at times like these!)

So, while my savings was not that phenomenal, and I did pay almost what I would for a ticket, anyways, I got makeup that will make awesome stocking stuffers as well as a ticket.

Head on over to Walgreen’s (or another participating retailer) and take advantage of this amazing deal. It only goes until 12/31 and you want to make sure you see the movie before then! I plan on taking my daughter to it as soon as I am able. She has been dying to see this since she heard about it as she has read all the books.
