We all love saving money, right? Even people that love shopping, love getting a great deal and saving money. No matter if it’s buying the kids a new pair of shoes, shopping for groceries or paying for cell phone service, I love saving money. For the last 3 years, I have had Walmart Family Mobile as my cell phone provider and have been saving money ever since.
Stretching dollars is important now, more than ever. Going through a divorce has made money very tight around here so we’re having to cut back on any extras and only keeping the essentials. Since it’s tax time (and I got money back for the first time in years), I wanted to make sure that that money was used for important things that would matter throughout the entire year. Getting a new cell phone was first on my list.
I decided to get the Samsung Galaxy On5, which has a Rollback price of $69 right now (regular retail price of $119)! With Walmart Family Mobile, you don’t have to pay a lot of money upfront, like a lot of other cell phone companies. Since Family Mobile bills you later, you only have to pay $19.88 when you sign up. Just pick a phone or Bring Your Own, and get your SIM Kit for only $19.88. Plus, with the Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan, you get Unlimited* Talk, Text, & Data which *includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE then 2G and a free movie credit on VUDU every month ($7 value) for $49.88 per month, per line.
I love that every month, we can watch our free movie on VUDU and turn it into a Family Movie Night. It brings us all together and we’re saving money on renting a new release (not to mention how expensive it is to go to the movie theater!) Usually, when we do a movie night, we love making a family favorite recipe or trying out a new recipe that we think everyone will love. Nothing’s better than hanging out in the family room, gathered around our TV, watching a new release movie on VUDU through our Roku® & eating something great. This time, we tried out a new recipe that we ended up loving: Flourless Chocolate Pecan Cake. It was different than other cakes we’ve tried but it was delicious & simple to make!
When we were done with Family Movie Night & cake, we decided to use our leftover paper cups & create a fun craft. The kids had a blast and we love how our craft turned out! We can’t wait for our next movie/dessert/craft night next month with our VUDU movie credit! (Scroll down for the recipe & the directions to our craft!)

I can just tell how rich and dense this cake is! I would top mine with some whip cream and strawberries!
