When Rockies Score 7+ Runs, Score 50¢ Tacos
If you need another reason to cheer on our Colorado Rockies, Taco Bell is again offering its popular taco promo this season — through October 1. The day following a game in which the Rockies score 7 runs or more (win or lose), score 4 tacos for $2 (reg. $1.29 x 4 = $5.16) between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. at participating locations. Limit one special per person.
A family of four could eat dinner for under $10 and probably still have a few tacos left over. (MHOTC Tip: The promo time overlaps for one hour from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. with the fast-food chain’s daily Happier Hour promo, which runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. During those hours, get a medium drink or regular Freeze for $1, too.)
Now that’s savings we can go to bat for anytime! Go, Rockies!
DMNS Screens “Top Gun” in IMAX 3-D For $10
If you grew up in the 80s, you know “Top Gun” (and its soundtrack) very well. Well, now’s your chance to experience it again on the big screen…on a really, really big screen and in 3-D! The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is hosting a special screening at 7:30 p.m. each night from Thursday, July 27 to Saturday, July 29.

It’s a rare opportunity to relive the 80s in such a special way at the movie theater again. Parents can take their kids, so they can see what mom and dad we’re watching as teens…and not on a smartphone. Heck, we didn’t even know what a cell phone was back then! (I’m keeping my fingers crossed for “Purple Rain” in IMAX 3-D!)
