Summer blockbusters mean lots of things: excitement, drama, peril, animation, pratfalls, talking animals, jokes about body parts.
They also mean a nice break from reality in a dark and air-conditioned room. In some areas of the country that’s a really welcome respite.
But given that the average cost of a movie ticket is more than $8, movies can put a hurt on the budget.
That’s why this week’s giveaway is a $10 Fandango gift card.
In other words, your next movie and part of the one after that are on me. All you have to do to enter is:
- Leave a comment below
- Subscribe via e-mail or Feedburner
- Sign up to follow Surviving and Thriving on Twitter or Facebook
If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave separate, additional comments to get credit for each entry.
The deadline is 7 p.m. PDT Tuesday, July 22. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, I’ll pull another name.
Movies are a cool summer treat!
This is a first for me – I’m pleased to know that I could just join and be entered for a chance to win!
Just saw that eye candy adam levine (and mark rufalo) in ‘Begin Again’ with a free movie ticket. Another free movie would be spectacular!

Would love to take my daughter to the movies with this!
DH and I need a date night! Movie tix are even more expensive back in the Garden State. Last movie I saw in the theater was Frozen, and it was snowing.
Would love to win the ticket as movies ARE expensive. Last movie we saw was “The Lone Ranger” in the IMAX and the price was “breathtaking” for myself, DW and DD2. Despite the reviews we enjoyed the movie…Johnny Depp was a hoot and the special effects and action photography was unbelievable. Thanks for the opportunity…
would love to win!
My husband and I could use a date night. We haven’t been to the movies in long time.
I would enjoy a nice escape!

Love the movies!!! 😀
We enjoy having family movie nights in the comforts of our own home, but that makes a movie in a theater a real date night for my husband and me.
Movies are always a welcomed treat and especially in the summer months.
I can’t remember the last time I went to the movies because of the outrageous prices.
