Cool Ideas for a Hot Weekend

Catch a Movie!

By Kimberly L. Keith, About.com

It feels great to be in a dark, cold theater on a hot summer afternoon. For kids and adults, going to a movie is an event. Plan your movie outing all week; invite the kids' friends; and build the excitement for your favorite summer movie.

Here's a plan from frugal parents. Plan to take the kids to the early matinee and look for special deals. Eat lunch at home before you go. Skip the expensive movie snacks entirely with the promise of a visit to your favorite ice cream shop after the movie.
