I compiled a list full of fun and frugal activities to do with your kids this summer. Some of them are completely free while others are dirt cheap! I already have my summer fun planned out. Do you?
It was really difficult picking a winner for the American Idiot tickets. So I decided to pick three readers and leave it up to luck. I also have to get the winner’s name to our friends over at the Center Theater Group pronto (the show is this Thursday!) so the tickets go to the first to email me back! See if you’ve been chosen below.
Today is the last day to enter to win the pair of tickets to Green Day’s American Idiot from our friends at the Center Theater Group! The tickets are for the performance at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown, LA on Thursday, April 19 at 8 p.m. The details on how to enter are below. The winner will be announced tomorrow!
I’m stoked to announce that our friends at the Center Theater Group have donated a pair of tickets to Green Day’s American Idiot in LA! The tickets are for the performance at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown, LA on Thursday, April 19 at 8 p.m. See details on how to enter below. Make sure you’re free that night before entering the contest.The show, which is in its final 2 weeks at the Ahmanson, tells the story of three lifelong friends in a post 9/11 world. The friends are forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. The smash-hit musical features several Green Day hits including the title track, but you don’t have to be a Green Day fan to enjoy this Broadway musical. According to the press release, the musical will “dare you to feel and celebrate and hope.” Variety even described it as a “blissful extravaganza” that “makes you think even as it knocks you out.”

My kids recently went to see “The Lorax” and when they came home, my son proudly told me that he discovered a great bargain. From opening until 11:59 a.m., tickets for any movie are $6. After noon, the price jumped almost twice as much.
This got me thinking about the various ways to save money on movie theater tickets. Yazmin also has 12 easy ways to save money at the movies.
Winner announced below!
We had more than 100 readers enter the giveaway to win a family 4-pack to Cirque du Soleil‘s OVO in Santa Monica on March 7.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this awesome giveaway! It was really hard to choose the winner so I relied on Random.org to pick the winner and runner-ups.
Last chance to win OVO 4-pack tickets!
Today is your last chance to enter to win a Family 4-pack to OVO from Cirque du Soleil under the Big Top at the Santa Monica Pier on March 7. So far there are 97 entries! You have till 11:59 p.m EST to enter. See below for details.
I’ve heard OVO is great for the whole family from friends who have seen the show! You’ll be transported to a colorful ecosystem where insects work, play, and look for love.

Win a family 4-pack to OVO!
I’m excited to announce a lucky Bargain Babe reader will win a Family 4-pack to OVO from Cirque du Soleil under the Big Top at the Santa Monica Pier on March 7. Find out how you can win the tickets, below. I’ll also let you know how you can score discounted tickets to OVO!
According to the press release, “OVO, meaning egg in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colorful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat, crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement. When a mysterious egg appears in their midst, the insects are awestruck and intensely curious about this iconic object that represents the enigma and cycles of their lives. It is love at first sight when a gawky, quirky insect arrives in this bustling community and a fabulous ladybug catches his eye – and the feeling is mutual.”
I’ve heard OVO is great for the whole family!

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.
