I’ve come across even more ways to save money on movie tickets, so I’m combining an older post (which you can see here) to share a total of 12 ways to save on movie tickets. I also included a list of sites that offer free movie screenings below.
Second-run movie theaters – I’m lucky to have a theater nearby that plays movies only a few weeks old. It makes me feel like I’m not missing out on a movie when everyone is talking about it. And you can’t beat the price – a fraction of mainstream theaters.

Win a $99 doll, train, and toy package from Cracker Barrel!
I had no idea Cracker Barrel made anything but cheese, let alone dolls! Then an adorable Butterflies doll from Cracker Barrel arrived at my doorstep. All of a sudden I was seven and playing “orphanage” with my sister Aicha. We would scour the house for every doll and place them in a row on the couch, taking turns attending to each one. Eventually the couch turned into a bus and we’d take them on a road trip.
Below we are launching a giveaway for more than $99 in Cracker Barrel dolls, trains, and toys, listed below. Don’t forget to check out our on-going giveaways for Diary of a Wimpy Kid,a $169 HP Photoprinter and Snapfish gift card, a $100 Fashion Playtes design your own clothing gift card, a $180 fancy hair dryer and flat iron, a $99 Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker, blender, and electric wine opener, and a $99 HP HD webcam!

Thanksgiving should be a day were we gather with friends and family to give thanks and catch up, but hosting or attending a large gathering can create anxiety. Let’s face it, there is are a lot of things that need to get done before we can sit down and chow! Below I share 10 tips to keep you sane. Best of all, they will save you money!
1. Skip pre-holiday parties – There are so many parties and gatherings around this time, but you don’t have to go to all of them to be in the holiday spirit. Attend high-priority events, like your company’s Thanksgiving potluck and Thanksgiving lunch at your child’s school, and skip the rest. Not only will you cut the cost of buying hostess gifts, but you’ll have more time to plan your Thanksgiving dinner. You can always go next year! (more…)

Win this $99 HD webcam from HP!
Video chatting – when you have a phone conversation through your computer with a live image of the person you are talking to – probably saved my long distance relationship. It’s just so much easier to bond and connect when you can SEE the person you’re talking to.
Now that I’m preggers, I installed Skype (a free program to make free video calls) on my Mom’s computer so when the baby comes, she can regularly see the kid for herself! The high definition (HD) webcam from HP that I’m giving away takes this to the next level. She’ll be able to see every baby pore!
