Thrifty Date Night – $4 Fandango Movie Ticket & Free popcorn at Regal Cinemas

Wow, I am loving all the great group-buying discounts lately.  Groupon has some great offers available today – the key is to look at other cities, not just your own area, as they often offer discounts that anyone can take advantage of across the country.

Today’s Groupon deal in Orange County, CA is featuring a Fandango movie ticket  for just $4 (up to a $12 value- this is up to 67% off).  You will only be able to buy 1 of these per account but if you have your husband sign up for a Groupon account, too, then he could buy one as well, so that you both could go to the movies for just $8 total!

This is a special Groupon deal in that it doesn’t expire for 4 more days (unless it sells out- which is a good possibility).  Make sure your local theater accepts Fandango tickets, too, by visiting Fandango.com first to see if your theater is listed.

Here’s how you’ll find this deal:

• First log in or sign up for Groupon
• Come back to this post & click on this link to find the $4 Fandango ticket.

*This is not valid to use on IMAX or 3D movies

FREE Popcorn at Regal Cinemas – August 27th – 29th

If you plan on using your Fandango tickets this weekend & will be heading to a Regal Theater, make sure to head to the Regal Cinemas Facebook Fan page & “like” the page. Then click on the “Coupons” tab & print off a coupon for a FREE small popcorn (no purchase required). This coupon is only valid from Friday August 27th thru Sunday August 29th.

All in all, you’ll have a great thrifty date night heading to the movies & getting a small popcorn all for just $8!! Sounds like a great plan to me!   So, what movie would you see in the theaters this week?

Thanks Steals & Deals & Saving, Surviving & Thriving!

Reminder: Free Large Photo book From Picaboo

I don’t know about you, but August is going by way too quickly! Many of you in other parts of the country have already had your kids go back to school, but most areas in the Northwest will be heading back after Labor Day!  The end of the August also means the deadline for these awesome FREE Hardcover photo books from Picaboo.  If you missed my earlier post, this is an amazing deal you’ll definitely want to take advantage of before it’s too late!

Picaboo is offering a FREE large Hardcover photo book to new members!  You’ll get a Large photo book with 20 pages for FREE (valued at $39.99).  All you’ll need to do is pay for shipping/handling, which should come out to around $8.99. If you want to add more pages, you’ll just be charged for those pages & then s/h may change slightly.  You have until August 31, 2010 to order your FREE book.

Here’s how it works:

–Go to Picaboo.com & sign up for an account. You’ll then need to download the software.

–Make your photo book.  You can choose from: Large Classic, Classic Leather, or Classic Custom Photo Book.  Picaboo offers many different options for backgrounds, journaling, photo placement, etc (as I mentioned earlier, it’s my favorite site for making photo books – I made about 3 several years ago for grandparents for my daughter’s first year of life!)

–When you’re done making your book, head to checkout & use the coupon code: FREEBK (only valid thru 8/31). This will drop the price of the book to FREE & you’ll just pay the shipping/handling charges. If your book contains more than 20 pages, you’ll just be charged for those additional pages.

–Once you’ve completed your book, you then have the option to share your book by email with friends & family.  I really like that option – you may not be able to afford to buy a photo book for everyone, but  you can share it with them via email.

Here are some fun uses for your FREE photo book:

• Document your child’s 1st year (or any year) in pictures & adding journaling to remember all those special moments or stories behind the pictures
• Family Vacation – this is what I plan to do when I get back – put together our pictures from our trip to Lake Tahoe to have a fun memento of our trip for our 10th anniversary.
• Make a recipe book – this would be a fun Christmas gift – compile your favorite recipes with pictures to give as a gift.  I personally would LOVE this as a gift since I am always looking for favorite family recipes & pictures would make it even better.  I’m thinking I might do this sometime with the recipes from my Grandma as I have her box of favorite recipes
• Grandparents Book – this is what we did several years ago thru Picaboo – made a fun book with pictures of my daughter throughout the year & with her grandparents to give for Mother’s Day. Would also make a great personalized Christmas gift.
• ABC  or Numbers Book - Great personalized book for kids – find things around your house to take pictures of for each letter of the alphabet.  You could also do this with numbers, too.  Ex: Picture of 1 dog, 2 apples, 3 chairs, etc.

So, what have you done for your FREE photo book or what creative suggestions do you have for all of us?
