Dinner and a Movie

What can we do to entertain ourselves and our families on a Friday or Saturday evening these days? A little lime has gotten so expensive!

Cinema tickets cost $35 to $45 at best. For a family of four we’re multiplying everything by 4. Four times the tickets, four times the food. It can get quite costly and while going out is an experience in itself and families look forward to it, there has to be some control with regards to how often we do it.

Dinner and a movie can be enjoyed at home for a fraction of the cost. There are so many delicious meals that can be easily and quickly prepared. A ‘finger licking good’ home-made fried chicken and mashed potatoes, oven-made pizza or a spicy Italian dish of spaghetti and meat balls. These are just some ideas but this site can help spark even more creativity.

Movies can take the form of a family flick on tv, cable if you have or a dvd or internet movie. There a number of internet movie sites such as putlocker.is, solarmovie.com, genvideos.com, just to name a few. There are also full length movies on youtube.com. In essence, there are options to entertain the family at a reduced price so that having family time doesn’t have to leave you broke.

Give us some ideas on what cost-cutting activities you and your family enjoy.
