Going to the movies, even with just Allison and I, is incredibly expensive. Tickets, snacks, sitter, dinner, gas… Yikes. It is so much more economical and comfortable to have a #MovieNight4Less in our own home. When we settle in for a movie night we get comfy on the couch, fire up the widescreen TV and pop up some Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn in the microwave. Only a few years ago did we discover how well M&M’s® compliment a big bowl of popcorn. We had always had both snacks when we went to the movies but never put them together in the same bowl until recently. It was a real, “Where has this been all our lives?” sort of moment.

I went to Walmart to pick up some supplies for our Ultimate Movie Night. There was the display above which had everything I needed for a fun movie night in for Allison and me. From November 11th to 24th there is a selection of Warner Bros. movies available at deeply discounted prices, $5.00 for DVDS and $7.88 for Blu-rays. You can find this display at participating Walmart locations. Here is a list of store that have the Movie Night For Less pallet. I was able to pick up The bucket List, The Blind Side and The Guilt Trip on DVD for $5.00 each plus a six pack of Orville Redenbacher’s and some M&M’s® in movie style boxes. This week we celebrated our 9th Anniversary, so I wanted to kick up our snacking and make something very special for Allison. To make that extra special snack I also got some pretzel sticks, Spanish peanuts and some checkered-rice cereal.

We decided that we wanted to have a funny movie for our Ultimate Movie Night so we chose to watch The Guilt Trip. That inspired the name for our snack, Guilty Pleasure Crunch.

It was nice to have a cozy evening in to watch a movie. We laughed and munched to our hearts content. No one sat in front of us and we could talk and make our own jokes which is rude in a theater but fine for a home movie night. Finding all of the ingredients for a great movie night for the two of us that cost less than one ticket out to the movies was a great deal. It was a really nice way to spend the night.

You can connect with Orville Redenbacher’s, Warner Borthers Entertainment and M&M’s® on many Social Media sites. A great way for discovering new ideas on your own Ultimate Movie Night.
