Summer is just a good a time as any to see movies with your family.

Here are some ways you and your family can save money at the movies.

1. See matinee showings and you can save you about 50% off.

I purchased an online game and received a code for a free movie ticket.

3. Visa Signature 2-for-1 Signature Movie Tickets Friday on Fandango between May 4, 2012 - August 17, 2012: https://www.fandango.com/visasignature/.

4. Get a free Fandango movie ticket (up to a $14.50 value) when you collect two promotional codes inside specially marked packs of Schick ST2 or Slim Twin Disposable Razors: http://www.schickslimtwinrewards.com/

There was a coupon in a recent Sunday paper to help you save money on these purchases.

8. Often times signing up for movie theater reward card can earn you freebies after so many point are earned and they also have other promotions throughout the year.

9. Go see movies at theaters that offer summer movie programs.

10. Purchase candies at discount stores prior to going to the movies or split larger bags of candies in snack size bags.

11.  Bring your own popped popcorn, sweets and drinks to the drive in theater, this always saves us a bunch of money.

12. Purchase tickets at military MWR or ITT offices to save money on movie tickets and snacks.

13. Often times if you purchase a large sized popcorn or drink, it comes with one refill.
