Free Summer Movie Deals

2023 Summer Movie Deals, Discounts, & Freebies

Eagle-eyed Hiffers (holy crap, how did you get an EAGLE'S EYE?!) know that my current offspring count sits equal to the number of home runs I've hit for the Seattle Mariners this season. That said, growing up with tons of siblings, I have an inkling for what it's like with bored, moping children around the house. For you see, I myself get bored. A lot. And if your kids are anything like me, it must be insufferable to be around them when they have nothing to do. Plus it's hot outside. we need some cheap, air-conditioned entertainment!

As such, here's a huge list of all the free & cheap kids summer movie events! Almost every theater chain has a dedicated page advertising their summer deals, plus a helpful list of participating locations. So be sure to make sure your local spot is holding a deal before heading out.

I've included both nationwide and smaller, regional chains so as many Hiffers can take advantage of these deals as possible. I'm sure there are more, so please leave a comment if you find any I missed.

Best Gifts for Men Under 25

Best Gifts for Men Under $25

It might seem a little too obvious, but the best way to buy presents for men is to think about their interests and hobbies. For example, if the man enjoys sports, you could buy him tickets to a game or a piece of sports memorabilia. If he is into technology, you could buy him a new gadget or accessory. Another approach is to ask the man's friends or family members for gift ideas, as they may have a better sense of what he would like. Ultimately, the best present is one that is thoughtful and shows that you understand the recipient's interests and preferences.

With that said, here's a collection of the best gifts for men under $25 that will hopefully please one of the men in your life!

Deal Fast Hoodie

Deal: $1 Sweatshirt with Free Shipping (expires tonight!)

In what I'm guessing is an “empty out our warehouse stock!” move, Fast.co is selling branded sweatshirts for only $1 shipped. This sale ends tonight at 11:59 PM ET on Sunday, August 8, 2021.

It took me a while to get the order to go through, but here are the steps that worked for me.

  • Add 1 sweatshirt to your bag and click “view cart”
  • Enter coupon code ParkerGoesFast
  • On the same page, enter your shipping info! The form finally worked for me once I entered all my shipping info on this cart page.
  • Now click “fast checkout” and enter your billing info for the $1 charge. If you want to avoid being charged more than $1, you can always generate a a free Privacy.com credit card number!
  • You'll get a confirmation message and email once this page submits!

The popup window is where I kept getting errors for about 5 minutes. I had to close the window and try again a few times before it submitted, so don't feel discouraged if you encounter the same bug.

I've confirmed it's a legit offer and fast's account is retweeting all the thank you messages. Apparently this sale is to celebrate a fifth place finish by part-time NASCAR truck series driver and NBC Sports pit road Parker Kligerman in the Watkins Glen truck race yesterday. Way to go, Parker and thanks for this deal!

Avoid Surprise Charges with a Free CC Number Generator!

If you're worried about your credit card being charged for more than $1, you should definitely make a free Privacy.com account! That'll let you create 12 free virtual credit card numbers with spending limits each month! You can then use these numbers when checking out online, which protects your real credit card numbers in case of any future database hacks or leaks.

It's important you also set a spending limit on each generated card! This is what protects you from future charges. So for this offer, I made a new card with only a $2 spending limit on it so they can't make a huge surprise charge later 🙂 Make sure to set a very small spending limit to avoid any future charges!! I can't stress that enough, otherwise you're missing out on a key protection feature.

[thanks to Hiffer Marc for sending this in!]


Free Costco Membership Discount

Costco Deal: Free $40 Gift Card for New Members

If the $60 yearly membership fee has kept you from joining Costco, you might be interested in this deal. Now through August 22, new members will get a free $40 Costco gift card after joining! This effectively discounts your first year by 66%.

While this is only valid for new members, the fine print also clarifies “to qualify as a new member, an existing Costco membership must be expired at least 18 months or more.” So even if you let your old Costco membership lapse, you'll still qualify as long as it 1.5 years ago.

On top of the membership discount, you can save an extra $40 off any order of $250+ on Costco.com. I believe both $40 offers are stackable, so you'd be able to save $80 on any item over $250.

The $40 gift card will be mailed 4 to 6 weeks after sign-up. The $40 off any order of $250+ on Costco.com coupon will be emailed to the email address on file.


2019 Entertainment Coupon Book

2022 Entertainment Coupon Books on Sale!

The annual Entertainment Coupon Books for 2022 are not only jam packed with coupons, but are currently on sale for only $7 shipped!

These coupons don't expire until December 31, 2022, so you have a full year to redeem as many coupons as possible. It only took my sister a few weeks to make her money back with last year's coupon book.

One of the perks of these books is that all books come with a digital subscription! That means in addition to your hard copy with physical coupons, you also get access to over 75,000 digital coupons. They're accessed via Entertainment.com's website or mobile app and are perfect for traveling away from home, where space might be limited.

I first posted about the Entertainment Coupon Books back in 2009, but it's been a while since I've refreshed folks on their savings. Each year, they offer location-specific coupon books that come packed with coupons for local restaurants, entertainment spots, and retailers.

Remember, this great offer expires on 6/14/21. If you're a Hiffers who already bought the 2022 coupon book, what do you think of it so far? Any coupons you've especially loved this time around?


Walmart Beauty Box

Deal: Walmart Beauty Box for $7

Walmart has a seasonal sampler beauty box that changes each quarter. For only $7 shipped, you get a Walmart beauty box with samples based on the season and your answers to a few basic questions. They all center around your demographics and personal preferences, so it should only take a minute or two to complete.

I'm kinda kidding, not kidding, but those purple, orange, and white teardrop looking things are just part of the graphic design, right? They're not some weird teardrop adhesives people stick to their faces for beauty reasons that I'm only just now discovering, correct? … Okay, cool, yeah, that's what I thought too.

Now, has anybody ordered one of these Walmart beauty boxes before? What'd you think? How do they compare to Target's beauty boxes? Let us know in the comments!


Free Walmart Grocery Pickup Discount Promo Code

Walmart: $10 Off $50 Grocery Pickup

A lot of Hiffers reported problems with using these promo codes. I looked into it and can confirm that VISITORS should work for new users. This is what I get when I try to use the promo code. Make sure you're not trying to purchase alcohol, as that invalidates the code.

If you're an existing customer and unable to use the codes below, we might be out of luck right now. However, you could always make a new account and purchase groceries with a new credit card … 😉


If you're looking for a fast and safe way to shop for groceries, then head over to Walmart Groceries! They're offering a free $10 discount off a $50 Walmart Grocery pickup order for both new and existing customers! All you have to do is use one of the following promo codes at checkout:

  • VISITORS – Valid for new accounts only?
  • TIMEBACK
  • WOWFRESH
  • FRESHCAR – Works for grocery delivery only, not curbside pickup.
  • DELIVERY – Another grocery delivery code.

New to Walmart's Grocery Pickup? It's a same-day service that allows you to show for groceries at home, then pick them up curbside at your local Walmart! Most locations have 8am-8pm pickup hours and you get to reserve an hour-long window that best fits your schedule.

To take advantage of this deal, simply add $50+ worth of qualifying grocery items to your cart, then go to checkout and pick your nearest Walmart along with a date & time to pickup your groceries. Don't forget to use a promo code either! You'll then get a phone call around 15 minutes prior to your hour-long pickup window letting you know your groceries are ready.

You have until 1/31/21 to use this promo.


Deal: Target Beauty Box

The Target Beauty Box has been released for July. It costs only $7 with free shipping! Don't forget Target Red Card members get an additional 5% off your purchase, bringing the cost down to $6.65 shipped for these beauty boxes.

Are you channeling your inner Brad Pitt and wondering what's in the box?

This is a 7-in-1 multi-use cooking machine with the following functions.

  1. Pressure Cooker
  2. Slow Cooker
  3. Rice Cooker
  4. Steamer
  5. Sauté
  6. Yogurt Maker
  7. Warmer

Since buying my Instant Pot last year, I've fallen in love with it. I make lentil or rice in it at least twice a week, with some sort of tasty stew or meat dish on the weekend. One of my favorite tasty, easy, and cheap meals is this Instant Pot cheesy southwestern lentils & brown rice recipe.

My Instant Pot has even replaced my rice cooker. I eat a lot of brown rice, while I find the default rice setting is more for white rice. However, once you discover the best rice ratios and time, you can cook pretty much anything in it! Instant Pot has some additional tips on cooking rice that I found helpful.

At the end of the day, it's almost too easy to throw a bunch of ingredients into an Instant Pot and have a full, delicious meal less than an hour later.
