Hitting the movie theater is costly these days (especially for concession stand addicts, such as myself), but I still think it’s one of the most fun, relaxing things you can do with friends and family. So, here’s some good news!

AMC’s 2009 Summer MovieCamp is throwing a bone to families with little ones. Every Wednesday from now until July 29, AMC theaters will charge $1 per person to view the G- and PG-rated films on their list of hit 2008 films, such as Horton Hears a Who and Kung Fu Panda. Even better, admission and concession proceeds will benefit Variety-The Children’s Charity and the Will Rogers Institute. Find participating locations at amctheatres.com/smc.

Some summery pieces featured on AllYou.com are now deeply discounted online. Check out a few great deals on items we’ve already featured.

But Nescafe now has its Taster’s Choice instant coffee in single-serving packets — and they’re offering a sampler pack with all 6 varieties for free. Well, I’ll try it if it’s free! Log on here to get yours.
