My Frugal Boy

So since the boy ditched me on Friday I was planning to take him to see Monsters vs. Aliens on Saturday. Well he woke me up all excited that morning because he remembered the coupon he had for the movie theatre that came in one of his cereal boxes (I swear my kid doesn't buy the cereal for the prize...it's just cause he really likes it...uh huh...yep...totally true lol).

Anyways, we cut the coupon out of the box and it entitled us to one free child's admission...the only problem it could only be used from Sunday to Thursday. The boy was super disappointed and seeing as I hadn't even remembered we had the coupon I tried to convince him it was totally okay and that I'd pay this time and we'd use his coupon the next time. But no he wouldn't hear of it. He insisted we go on Sunday so he could get in free.

We set that plan in motion and just had a quiet day at home on Saturday. Sunday we got up and he brought me the coupon again. I decided if we were going to use it I should probably read the fine print. Oh no!!! Cannot be used for 3-D movies...urgh. We totally planned to go see the movie in 3-D...so again I tell the boy that if we use the coupon we'll have to see another movie or see the one he wanted but not in 3-D. I really wanted to see it in 3-D and convinced him that he should let me pay this time and we'd save the coupon.

ONLY to get to the theatre and realize that I totally messed up the times and the 4:00 show was NOT in 3-D. I asked the boy if he wanted to wait an hour for the 3-D version and he of course piped up "nope I'd rather not see it in 3-D anyway...it kind of freaks me out". Come to think of it he's never seen a movie in 3-D and probably has no idea what it really is. But alas it all worked out...the boy was not 'freaked out' and we were able to use the coupon!!!!

That's too funny. My youngest is a little coupon freak but doesn't realize that they're (usually) not for free stuff, but for discounted stuff. Glad you were able to make it to the movies though! Was it any good?

Awww! He wanted to save you money! That is so sweet! I'm glad everything worked out in the end!

Cute! Movies in 3D are pretty cool. Weird but cool!

You are raising quite the bargain hunter. :)

Did he like the movie?

That Girl said...

I dont think I have ever seen a 3D movie either.
he is sucha cutie!

The movie was a good one...I recommend it!! You girls that have never seen 3-D totally need to check it out!

Dan and I saw "My Bloody Valentine" in 3-D a few months ago and loved it...I imagine a kids movie would be really cool to see that way too.

The only movie I've ever seen in 3D was Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds. It was NOT a pleasant experience. I could've bet some serious cash that the birds were flying in my HAIR!

3D freaks me out, too. I wear glasses, too, and I can never seem to get the 3D ones to sit right over them. Maybe that's what he doesn't like about it.

Jaws 3D was enough for me!

Staci said...

I was desperate to see My Bloody Valentine in 3-D but we never got a sitter in time :( Glad to know the movie was good. I am planning on taking Anthony when Spring Break is over... (His FIRST movie so the less crowded the better!) :)
