Marble Slab for Cheap

I hate paying $5 or $6 for Marble Slab ice cream, just because I don't think it's worth the price, but when I saw an advertisement at the movies a few weeks ago, I was elated. Marble Slab is having a summer special that allows you to buy their ice cream for half-off.

Save your movie stub from a recent movie and get a good deal. Have a friend that doesn't like ice cream (blasphemy I say) or is lactose-intolerant? Keep their movie stub and use it to treat yourself. Or, if you don't want to justify spending $12 at the movie to save $3 at Marble Slab, then maybe go through the trash, if you're really that desperate.

I recently exercised the coupon and found that although they have strict rules, which are available on their Facebook page, I found the cashiers and attendants did not enforce it entirely. Actually, the employee did not even verify the paper I gave him was a movie ticket! The seven-day period after is meant only to ensure customers do not forget about the promotion and is not actually a requirement, but use it as early as you can, because the deal ends August 4.

In mid-May, there were some locations that were unaware of the promotion, but I believe most stores know about it now, so you should not face any conflicting information. However, if there are still issues, Marble Slab has suggested people call 1-888-337-7522, their customer service hotline.

Other than that, I hope everyone enjoys their summer. I'll get back to financial posts when I have some spare time.
