Frugal Movies! Budget Friendly Summer Fun with the Kids

by Michael Nolan

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!

Frugal MoviesAMC Summer MovieCamp
AMC Theatres has a special summer program with movies for a dollar! You read that right; beginning on June 25 and continuing until August 6, 2008 you and your kids can enjoy movies each and ever week on Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. for just a buck.

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!

According to the website, this is the schedule (though it is subject to change):

  • June 25: Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
  • July 2: The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
  • July 9: Alvin & The Chipmunks
  • July 16: Shrek The Third
  • July 23: Bee Movie
  • July 30: Surf’s Up
  • August 6: TMNT

Head over to the website to check availability in your area by zip code.

Regal Entertainment Group Free Family Film Festival
Not to be outdone, the Regal family has been offering free family-friendly movies for 9 weeks each summer on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for the 10:00 a.m. showing. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Did I mention that it is free?

Visit the Regal website for details based on your location.
