1. Starbucks!
This one makes me laugh every time. I have a friends who LOVES starbucks, but she is too frugal to spend almost $5 on a fancy drink. She once got a $10 gift card and it lasted forever! She fills her to-go mug with warm milk from home and orders a shot of espresso ($0.50) through the drive-thru to add to the warm milk. genius! It doesn't get more frugal than this people!
2. Children's Museum!
The first Thursday of every month from 4pm-8pm the Indy Children's museum is free admission! Matt and I always try to take the kids. It's so much fun and they love it. It would cost us $47.50 to get into the museum and so I am thankful to target for sponsoring it... another reason to love target :)
3. Cow Appreciation Day!
This past friday, if you dressed like a cow, Chick-fil-A rewarded you with a free meal. So we had to take advantage of such a great deal! I have also heard that every Wednesday kids eat for free, but haven't checked into this. Usually in October, Chipotle does something similar if you dress in foil.
mmm!
4. Redbox!
We either borrow movies from the library or rent from Redbox. The library has a pretty good selection, but if you don't find something you like, rent from Redbox for $1 per night. If you sign up for the text alerts, once a month they send you a promo code for a free 1 night rental. I have also seen promo codes that are always good. They are: REDBOX, DVDONME, and BREAKROOM.
5. Research, Research, Research!
Recently, Warrick wanted to go to Pinheads to bowl. He had never been before so we decided that was a great idea. We told the cashier that we would need 3 pairs of shoes and 1 game of bowling with 3 players. The total was $24 for one game of bowling. We were floored. After Warrick's third frame of bowling, he was ready to go. But we just spent a small fortune for bowling, so there was no way he was getting out of it! After we were done bowling, Warrick wanted to play in the arcade. We gave him 8 quarters and he spent more time in the arcade than bowling and had a lot more fun. Later I found out the kids bowl free, there are certain nights that are half-price, etc. I should have looked into it more... hindsight's 20/20, right?

How do you save on entertainment and treats?
The Chick Fil A in Castleton on 82nd St. is kids night on Weds. The one in Noblesville is on Tuesdays.
