Attention All Moviegoers!

 

So, I get it...you know Red Box is a cheap way to see a film on a date at home, but you want to get out of the house!

Your solution? Don't spend 11+ dollars on a new release in the theaters. Visit a discount theater to save your money & your sanity.

Two great options:
 Simi Valley 10 Cinemas (off the 118 freeway) &  
Regency theater in North Hollywood.         

At Simi Valley 10 Cinemas you pay: matinee $3.50, evening $4.25
At Regency Theater you pay: Tuesday & Sunday $1.50, rest of the week $3.00, 3D Films $2.00 (surcharge fee).

For directions click on these links: Simi 10, Regency 

Note: Depending on the movie, it takes about 2 months for new releases to reach these discount theaters. Do it, it's worth the wait!

Sherman Oaks Castle Park Mini-Golf

 

If you are a penny-pinching couple living in the San Fernando Valley try this venue out for a morning date. Their special is:

$3.00 per person for Weekend Early Birds 9 am - 10:30 am.

Jeff & I have now been here twice. They have 3 or four courses you can try out. We would recommend the one on the far left because you don't get any noise from the freeway. Mini-golf is an activity that reminds me of my childhood & that is one that still remains a fun challenge. The grounds have all kinds of interesting structures to look at, not to mention that they are a little retro which contributes to the experience. Try it! for more information go to: http://www.laparks.org/shermanoaks_castlepk/index.htm

Tandem Bike Night

Newly weds often goes hand-in-hand with the word "Cheap". It does not stop Jeff & I from going on dates, however, so I thought I would keep a record of some of the good ones;)We try to have date night once a week so this is what the last one consisted of:

1. Borrowing a tandem bike from friends of ours (free)
2. Reading Watership Down on a blanket under a tree (free)
2. Borrowing the movie It Happened One Night (free)
3. Breyer's Oreo Cookie & Cream mint ice cream ($4.00)

The best part of the night was definitely the biking! We wandered throughout neighborhoods as the sun went down. The cool evening breeze made it all the more enjoyable as well as the looks on the faces of pedestrians we passed---try it!
