I have never been apart of Twitter personally or with my blog before. It didn’t really interest me and I didn’t think that it was a big thing for others either. It turns out that I’m wrong…!

There are people on Twitter than I had imagined and after doing some research on this social networking site, it turns out that it is a great way to promote a business or website.

So, I am happy to announce that Motherhood Isnt For The Weak is finally “tweeting” with the rest of the world.

Follow me; @Mhoodisnt4Weak so you can have another way to stay updated on my posts, free samples, coupons, and all things parenting and frugal living.

Thank you for continuing to support me in all of my virtual forms!

 

Outings on a budget: Kent Theatre

Posted on by

Recently, I have had a few readers request for me do more posts about cheap or free date nights and family activities in the area and I knew exactly which local business would be in my first post; Cedar Springs, Michigan’s very own, Kent Theatre!

The Kent Theatre has been around since 1880, opening up as The Hubbard Opera House and has been dedicated to music, arts, theatre, and entertainment ever since.

Currently, the Kent Theatre is what I like to call, an economy friendly movie theatre. Showing films a few weeks after they have already hit the big screen, this is a great way to in a more laid back and customer oriented than the bigger chain theaters in my opinion.

About a month ago, we took our son to The Kent Theatre to see “Wreck-It Ralph”. It was Brody’s first time going to a movie theater and we had a great time. The tickets were only $3/person! After buying the tickets and a Large popcorn to share and 3 smalls pops, we didn’t even spend $20! When my husband and I go to the chain theaters get 2 tickets, a combo meal of one popcorn and two beverages, we always spend well over $25 on just the two of us! I figured taking Brody some where cheaper would be better for us just incase anything happened and we decided to leave early.

Now if you are someone who needs to see the movie on opening night, this is not going to be the place for you, but if you are just looking for a low-key family night, you might want to check it out.

From the looks of their website most tickets costs between $3-$5/person (I guess it depends on the movie i.e. The Hobbit is $5/person), no matter what age or what time of day. Compared to paying $7-$12 at big chain theatres, that is a heck of a deal!

Some great news: The theatre was facing financial issues, needing a new digital projector system so they could keep getting new movies. They needed to raise $60,000 to replace the system and if they were not able to raise the money, the business would shut down. With the help of the community and the loyal customers the money was raised in 2012, replacing the whole system and keeping another great local business open!

Congrats Kent Theatre! And thank you for the years of service and all the years of service to come!

Save on Formula: If I only knew then what I know now.

I believe I have mentioned before that if you sign up on formula brand websites, you have the chance of receiving samples and coupons for the products.

Now, in the past I hadn’t received anything very ‘post worthy.’ Recently I have received a pack of trial size Enfamil formula with coupons. Also a whole can of Similac formula and a whole can of Similac Sensitive formula. Along with 4 $5.00/1 coupons! When small cans or pre-mixed formula goes on sale, I can get it for free or for just a few cents with those coupons. When Brody was a baby, we paid close to $25.00 for the can of regular Similac and they sent me a ‘sample’ of the same size.

Getting free samples and deals like this makes me wish I would have known about couponing, deal hunting, and free samples years ago. Getting surprises like this in the mail would have helped make things much easier with a newborn on an even tighter budget than we have now.

The samples don’t expire until late 2013-2015. I’m going to hang on to my samples for a while. If I don’t end up using/needing them a few months before they expire, I donate them to our local Women’s Center.

If you haven’t signed up for these sites yet, do so now to start saving for your baby or help others save for their’s. Head over to Similac, Enfamil, and Good Start to sign up. Also keep an eye out for Walmart or Sam’s Club free sample formula that I will post every time I see they are available.

Have you already signed up for these offers or plan to sign up for them? What are you going to do with your coupons and samples, hang on to them, give them to someone, or donate them?

Healthy Snack of the week

My favorite healthy snack this week is greek yogurt. I know, last week it was frozen greek yogurt and now this week it’s just regular greek yogurt, but it is so good!

Greek yogurt is very good for you. Not only is greek yogurt low on calories and contains no fat, it is high on protein to help you build muscles as well as helping you feel more full so you don’t over eat. Greek yogurt also helps your body fight bladder infections and yeast infections. It can also improve intestinal health and reduce diarrhea.

My family love fruit at the bottom greek yogurt, but I also buy plain, vanilla, or honey flavors when there is a sale to give them other uses. We use plain greek yogurt for our tacos instead of sour cream. I’ve also seen recipes on Pinterest where you use greek yogurt as a healthy alternative in pancakes. You can also take a dry pack of ranch and mix it in plain greek yogurt to create a healthy ranch dressing (which is my number one bad food weakness!).

Right now I have Chobani Greek Yogurt in my fridge because I got it in the 10/$10 sale last week. This week Meijer has Yoplait Greek Yogurt on sale for $.89 cents each plus you can get a $.60 cents off 2 coupon Here, making them $.59 cents each.
