Simple Savings: Matinees

Matinees
The simplest way to save on movies is simply to go early enough that you still qualify for matinee rates!  The times of course, depend on the movie theater you wish to attend.

Bulk Tickets
Some theater chains sell tickets in bulk packs at a reduced price!  Using AMC as an example, you can purchase tickets here.  With these you have to be careful though! Gold tickets are good any time, but silver tickets aren't good for special engagements, and not within the first week a movie comes out.

Cheap Summer Movies for Kids
Many chains offer cheap summer movies for kids.  These are generally movies that have been out for some time, but the ticket is free or cheap.  Don't expect the savings to reach out to concessions though.  Again, using AMC as an example, information is here.

Now, I'm off to catch a matinee of the Johnny Depp movie.  Have a good weekend!

Mega-Shopping Trip!

Wow, I haven't done a trip like this in ages! I hit CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Stop and Shop in under 2hrs (including travel time)!! Now that I'm finished bragging, let's cut to the chase:

CVS
3 - Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal (to donate, I kind of think they're yucky) @ 3/$10 w/$5ecb
Used: 3 $2/1 coupons here and $3.98ecb
Total: $0.02oop and $5ecb back (a $1 MM)

Walgreens

2 - Keebler Fudge Strip cookies @ 4/$10 w/$5RR
2 - caramel candies from the counter @ $0.33each
Used: 1 $1/1 Pecan Sandies coupon (no longer available), 2 $1/1 Keebler Fudge Shoppe cookies coupon here, 1 $0.55/1 any Keebler cookie coupon here, and $6RR from Listerine
Total: $1.11oop (funny, I paid more for the caramels--in cash--than I did for 4 boxes of cookies! $0.45 vs. $0.66 in favor of the caramels)

Target
Transaction #1:
2 - Kashi Heart 2 Heart cereal @ $2.66each

Stop and Shop

Used: 2 $1/1 Special K Blueberry coupon here and 2 byo-shopping bag discounts (-$0.10)

In conclusion, my total was $3.49oop for 9 boxes of cereal (5 of which I'm keeping), 4 boxes of cookies, 2 shave gels, 2 contact solutions, 2 batteries, and 1 Crystal Light! My goal is to keep the cereal on average $0.50/box, which I totally accomplished, even excluding the boxes I gave away!
