Dinner and a movie....

Our family is spending spring break at home this year and we felt like we wanted a treat that was cost effective. I being the coupon lady has made this happen. We are having bacon wrapped filet mingon from a local butcher. I had a coupon for 4.99 each. I got 4 beautiful pieces of filet for 22.00 with tax. They would have cost $32.00!

Dinner is covered with salad for $1.00 and garlic bread which was also on sale!! A steak dinner for 4 for only $25.00. Much better price than it would be in a restaurant.

Now for the movie, we have a netflix account but didn't have any family movies on hand. My husband and I are hooked on the series 24 and have been watching it from the beginning on DVD.

So, I went to one of the blogs I follow and got a coupon code for redbox movies. I have done this before and just seem to forget to use their system. I had a coupon for a free rental and then we bought an additional one. We were able to rent 2 movies for 1.00!!! Redbox is a dvd kiosk that is in a lot of grocery stores. I went to the one that is outside of our Walgreens. I recommend signing up through redbox online first. I think it makes it easier and faster when you checkout from the kiosk. Ours was outside and let me tell you with the way the wind has been blowing lately, I wanted back in the truck as fast as possible! Make sure that when you begin to select your movie that you enter that you have a promo code. They will still ask for your visa card to ensure that you return the movie, but if you use one of the codes from the ladies at becentsable you are set for a free rental.
