Through Aug. 10, families can watch kid-friendly films for less than $2 per ticket. Here's what you need to know about this special summertime promotion.

Introducing Summer Movie Clubhouse

Taking your family to see a movie can be costly, by the time you get everyone a ticket and buy popcorn. But if you take advantage of a discounted movie ticket deal, you can treat your family to a fun time while keeping your spending to a minimum.

Cinemark has a deal called Summer Movie Clubhouse that families won't want to miss. Through Aug. 10, discounted tickets to select kid-friendly films are available for Wednesday morning screenings at participating Cinemark movie theater locations.

Tickets cost $1.50 per ticket, plus taxes and fees. If you plan to visit the concession stand, you can save $1 on kids' snack packs and any size popcorn and drink combos during Summer Movie Clubhouse showtimes. No coupon is required to take advantage of either deal.

Some locations will offer additional showtimes throughout the week, so check with your closest Cinemark to verify showtimes. The following movies will be screened in July and August:

• Mummies: July 5
• The Bad Guys: July 12
• Paws of the Fury: The Legend of Hank: July 19
• DC League of Super-Pets: July 26
• Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile: August 2
• Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: August 9

Many families are looking for affordable fun since daily living costs have increased. If you want to create lasting memories with your kids this summer without draining your checking account, you may want to take advantage of money-saving promotions like this. By seeking out deals, you can have plenty of fun while continuing to honor your personal finance goals.

Look for other movie deals to keep your spending in check

Summer Movie Clubhouse isn't the only way to save money on movie tickets. Many theaters have a set day of the week when you can buy cheaper tickets. At Cinemark, seeing a film on Discount Tuesdays can allow you to keep more money in your pocket. Another way to save money is attending a matinee screening instead of a nighttime show. Before swiping your credit card, check to see if theaters in your community are running promotions this summer.

Five free and low-cost ideas for summertime fun

If going to the movies isn't your thing, there are other fun ways to spend your time this summer. Here are a few activities that you can do without disregarding your budget:

1. Plan a picnic: An afternoon at the park is the perfect summer activity. You can make the day more affordable by packing a picnic lunch with all the essentials you need.
2. Go outdoors: When the weather cooperates, summer is an ideal time to get outside. Consider taking a hike or spending the afternoon at a public pool. Most public pools have affordable day rates, and swimming is an excellent way to stay cool on a hot day.
3. Check out a farmers market: Most communities host farmer's markets during summer. Strolling around is free, and you can look for affordable finds.
4. Go to the library: Your local library is air conditioned and has plenty of books for everyone in your household. You may consider visiting libraries in your community to check out new reading material and attend kid-friendly events.
5. Cook with your kids: If you're trying to eat more food at home, why not make an adventure out of it? You can pick kid-friendly recipes to try and get your kids involved.

Don't feel pressured to overspend as you plan summer outings with your kids. Sometimes the most memorable experiences are the ones that don't require much planning or money. You can view movie times and find your closest Cinemark location on the Cinemark website or app.
