We went to the movies to see Wall-E. Ok, maybe that wasn't totally a frugal thing to do but:

I got 2 of 4 tickets free with passes I got using my Coke Rewards points. That saved $20.

I stopped at the theater on my way home from work and bought the tickets rather than ordering them online. That saved $4.

We stopped at the drug store on the way to the theater to buy snacks. That saved about $7.

We brought water from home instead of buying drinks there. That saved about $4.

So 4 of us saw a movie for $19.75 including snacks.
