And, it also means you’re kids are home for the summer, and you need to find ways to keep them entertained.

So, we put together a list of movies we plan to watch this summer and also our picks of movies we plan to see in the theater.

WHEW! Over 66 movies to watch at home and in theaters this summer. For the movies at the theater, we will try to narrow those down to ones we HAVE to see, and others we can wait for the DVD. Going to the movies every week can add up, so we plan to choose our movies wisely. However, with the use of VUDU, we can get one free movie each month as part of our plan. Using the VUDU plan will help us save on renting movies, etc.

You can also use your smartphone to stream movies from the phone to the T.V. This is a great way to use the data you get from the Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan while you’re on the go.

And since we have plans to travel this summer, including road trips, we can take our list of movies and devices to stream them. When streaming movies, including watching movies in the car, etc. you need to have a good DATA plan and smartphone. Thankfully, Walmart has us covered for both! Not only can you pick up the latest smartphones from your local Walmart store, like the Samsung Galaxy S5. They also have cell phone plans, such as the Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan for just $49.88 per month!

You are billed later for the Family Mobile plan, so you will only have to pay $19.88 (rollback price from $25)  Starter Kit (which is a requirement to activate your phone).  This offer is valid till 7/7/2016.

  • Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to http://cbi.as/3edbx or your local Walmart for current pricing.

Now with all this extra savings, I will have more money to spend on taking the boys to see their movies in theaters this summer! What are some of your top movie picks for this summer? What movie are you SERIOUSLY excited about coming out in theaters, DVD or an oldie? Drop me a line and let me know!
