#GRDates: A Wealthy Theatre Date for $21 {1 Yr Membership Plus 2 Movie Tickets}

#GRDates is a weekly series highlighting fun & frugal dates in Grand Rapids and around West Michigan for $25 or less! Because I love West Michigan and want to experience everything it has to offer, but I do have to stick to a budget.

Before we talk about today’s date idea, I’m curious how you’re doing with your Spring Date List? Have you started and/or finished it? Please share your date ideas with us in the comments.

This week, we’re talking about Wealthy Theatre. A friend shared with me that The Meanwhile Bar hosts “Meanwhile Movies” there on Tuesday nights. The next movie is “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” on Tuesday, May 10, 2011.

Here’s the scoop on Wealthy Theatre:

If you want to consume adult beverages during the movie, you must be a member. Memberships are only $12. Movies cost less when you’re a member – $4.50 each for the showing I mentioned above.

If you don’t want a membership, no problem. (You just can’t drink.) Movie tickets will be $5.00 each.

Sounds like fun, huh?

Final Price:  $21 for a one-year membership and 2 movie tickets

Get more #GRDates ideas here. Have you already done these dates or do you have other ideas? Would your West Michigan business like to be featured as a date location? Email me at savvychicsavings (at) gmail.com

Spartan Stores: Support Special Olympics & Get $3.50 in Coupons

spartan stores couponsReminder: You get $3.50 in coupons from Spartan stores (Family Fare, D&W Fresh Market, etc) when you give $1 to support Special Olympics Michigan. Coupons expire 6/11/11.

My brother and his friends have been participating in Special Olympics for as long as I can remember. It’s such a fun and supportive community. In fact, I’m co-chairing a brand new event – a TOGA party – to raise money for the local Kent/Barry county athletes. It’s been taking up a bit of my blogging time lately.  I hope you don’t mind! :)
