Frugal Fridays: Fandango for Free!

Frugal Living0

You know me, I’m a sucker for 1) series and 2) alliteration.  So, in honor of both, and my ongoing fondness of frugality (there I did it again), we’ll begin Frugal Fridays, a brief look at ways to cut spending, save money, and invest in what really matters.

Tonight Jeff and I are having a date night! Yes, a real date night!  For our date, we’re heading to see Inception.  I think we’re the only people left on the planet who haven’t seen it.  The last movie we saw in the theater was Up, about a year and a half ago, so we’re due for a good flick.  And, thanks to FrugalLivingNW, I snagged a free movie ticket through Fandango. The process was easy, and after we use our ticket I can cancel our 3-day free trial and not spend a dime!  Now that’s a hot date.

Speaking of FrugalLivingNW, I have the huge honor of writing a 4-part series for this phenomenal couponing blog. The series will run Mon-Thur of this coming week. So head on over, check out her great deals, and stay tuned for this special series.  Have a great weekend!

Fireproof

Last night Jeff and I had the rare treat of a date night.  Dutch was out at Oma and Papa’s because Jeff and I had an interview thing at Multnomah, so we decided to make a night of it and use some free movie tickets we had been saving up to see Fireproof.  Per my request we skipped dinner and bought a large buttered popcorn instead (I know, my arteries are still in shock).   I wasn’t sure what to expect of the movie, since I’ll admit my experience with Christian movies usually means low-budget, high-cheesiness.  But Fireproof was SO good.  For any couple who has ever had challenges (i.e. every couple), it’s challenging, inspiring, and truthful.  It addresses the very real dangers and threats to today’s marriage.  And it’s got plenty of action to keep the guys intrigued! 🙂  Anyway, I’d recommend it to anyone.  Definite date movie.  Get a sitter, spend the money, dress up, bring some cash for popcorn, do whatever it takes to get your buns in a seat and go check it out!  You’ll be blessed.
