Walgreens $5.99 Blue Bell Ice Cream 1/2 Gallon

March 5, 2025

This promotion was active previously but has NOT been confirmed for 2025. I will keep watching to see if it or a similar offer returns. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

Blue Bell ice cream gives you real value for your money. Their containers are still a full half gallon. Used to be, 64 ounces was the standard size for ice cream. But then, “package shrinking” became a way of life in the food industry. Ice cream containers were first shrunk to 56, then to just 48 ounces! Blue Bell has bucked this trend, continuing to offer their ice cream in standard 1/2 gallon containers.

By the way, this ice cream is delicious! Special flavors like Chocolate Sheet Cake, Coconut Cream Pie, and Southern Blackberry Cobbler rotate monthly. Several other varieties are available year round such as Pecan Pralines ‘n Cream, Homemade Vanilla, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, plus my personal favorite: Moo-llennium Crunch!

This week, Walgreens has Blue Bell on sale for just $5.99! Inflation has brought the regular price to $8.49, so that’s a savings of $2.50! If you love this ice cream, now is the time to stock up. If you’ve never tried Blue Bell before, here’s your chance. But I’m warning you, it’s VERY addictive!

Sale price valid through Saturday, July 2, 2022 at participating locations. Includes frozen yogurt varieties. Not available in all regions. Most Walgreens stores will be open holiday hours on Independence Day (Monday, July 4.)

Moondance Jam Minnesota Discount Tickets

March 5, 2025

Several readers from Minnesota and surrounding states have asked me where to get cheap tickets to Moondance Jam in Walker. This year, Moondance Jam 34 will be held July 17-18-19, 2025.

Moondance Jam is a regional outdoor rock festival. It’s three days of music, camping, and good times with friends. I personally attended the 2002, 2003, and 2004 Moondance Jams and thoroughly enjoyed each one. 2025 headliners have yet to be announced. Regional acts will perform on the MDJ Saloon and Tiki Stages with camping available.

I don’t have a specific source for discount Moondance Jam tickets, but I do have a suggestion: Many radio stations have shopping shows where they sell hotel/motel rooms, restaurant certificates, tickets, and other similar items at a substantial discount. The various businesses give these items in exchange for advertising airtime on the radio station. It’s known as “trade” or “trade out” within the radio industry. Smaller, hometown stations are most likely to air shopping shows.

In 2003, I was able to obtain a 4 day Moondance Jam General Admission Pass for just $50.00 by purchasing it on one of these shopping shows. At the time, the “official” price (face value) of this ticket was $100.00. If your local station(s) have a shopping show, call and ask if they have Moondance Jam tickets. Many radio stations will list their shopping show items on the station’s website. VIP tickets can also be acquired in this manner, although they are harder to find, due to their higher value and relative scarcity.

Why pay full gate price for Moondance Jam tickets if you don’t have to? Ticket discounts are out there and waiting to be found. Happy hunting and enjoy the Jam in Walker, Minnesota this year!
