Frugal Movies! Budget Friendly Summer Fun with the Kids
Desperate for frugal fun with your kids during the sweltering summer months when they are out of school, bored, and leaving you hangin onto the end of your rope by a thread?
Worry no more! Here’s a fantastic and completely frugal weekly diversion that will allow you to have a great time along with your kids while not busting your budget!
AMC Summer MovieCamp

Not only is it seriously frugal (when was the last time you paid a buck for a movie in a theatre?), but the proceeds are all going to the Will Rogers Institute and Variety - The Children’s Charity. Frugal and charitable? Sign me up!
