Frugal Friday: Kids Summer Film Series!

By -
It's no surprise that going to the movies now a days can be an expensive experience. Just Miss Sarah and I can run almost $30 if we go to a matinee, get a popcorn and a soda.

Insane.

The popcorn isn't even fresh! They pop it, put it into a bag, drag it into the back room. They bring it out of the back room and warm it up as they need it.
(blech)
I am NOT opening a discussion about who smuggles what into the theaters in their purse or diaper bag...it's between you, and your family. Just rethink the cans of soda that we can all hear you open in the dark - yes, we know what that sound is, LOL!

We love the Kid's Series as it is CHEAP, they show Kid Friendly shows and it's great for either a super hot day or a day with so much rain that you feel housebound. We use the Marcus Gift Cards that we get on Black Friday and can see SEVERAL movies for that $2 ticket price!
Here are the details:

Keep it cool with Marcus Theatres® this summer!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
