Memberships Worth Your Cost

WalletPop gives readers the Top 5 memberships that would be worth your dime.

I looked up some of the local establishments listed below in my area and did some comparison pricing so be sure to checkout my examples

1. Zoos and Aquariums

Cost: $100.00 a year; This is especially nice if you have children because what child honestly gets tired of seeing animals? Most should include perks like free parking, guest passes, free rides and tours. Since most zoos are considered non profit organizations, your season membership should be tax deductible.

About: Going to the zoo is a fun, recreational activity if you have children, but even just one visit to the zoo can put a strain of anyone’s budget. Zoo and aquarium alleviate the costs by almost 50% and it’s a way to keep the kids busy and out of the house for activity and education.

Example: Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, it costs $59 for an Individual pass, for a Zoo Pass it costs $69 (for two adults + child). The membership includes free admission into the zoo plus more than 100 accredited zoos across in the country and in Ohio, free parking, free members magazine and newsletter, special invitation to members only events, 10% discount at the gift shop

If you, your husband and child visit the zoo once, it’s $10 per adult and $7 per child and parking is $5. There’s $32 just to get into the door, not including food to eat for the day and buying souvenirs and rides for the child. Just one visit to the zoo costs almost just as much, if not more for the membership to go more than once.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I don’t buy much DVD’s because it’s just honestly not in my budget these days. I am, however, going to buy this Indiana Jones movie when it comes out…for my Dad that is, and then I’m going to steal it to watch it, and then give it back.

I’m a great daughter aren’t i?

I saw this movie when it come out in theatre’s and I loved it so I will probably eventually buy it. It’s action packed, star’s a much older, but still good looking Harrison Ford and another great face to see in the movie is Shia LaBeouf. Keep in mind, I’m not into too much of that violent action, but this was just good old action, so it was right down my alley on the entertainment factor.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” will be released on DVD October 14, 2008 for sale on Amazon for $18.99

Nickelback’s “Gotta Be Somebody” Single (Free MP3 Download)

There’s a cool promo going on where you can download Nickelback’s1 newest single “Gotta Be Somebody” for FREE, but for a limited time only.

Let’s face it, you can’t beat free music, even if it’s just one song. Its just like those iTunes cards that Starbuck’s used to give me a million of all the time, even though I didn’t like, or wasn’t familiar with the artist, I still downloaded the song because it was FREE and I love music.

“Gotta Be Somebody” is the first single from Nickelback’s new album Dark Horse, in stores 11.18.08 and it sounds awesome thanks to the recommendation of my bestest Suz.

Just go here and fill out the appropriate boxes, you will get an exclusive link to download the MP3 that will expire 24 hours after you request it.

After this, I might have to checkout the rest of their songs that wern’t singles, because the only songs I know of theirs are their singles that have been aired on the radio.

Dog Beds & Closeout Deals

Oso got a brand new bed. It was long overdue and it didn’t take him long at all to realize that it was there for him. Unfortunately, he picked up a small case of flea infestation, so he had to go to the groomer’s and the bed still has yet to be sprayed down with flea killer.

Oso's New Bed

Kennedy and I went on a shopping spree at Meijer’s last Saturday. Everything was on sale from 50-70% off because the store on our side of town is closing down. She made out with toys, I hit a race memorabilia gold mine. (More specifically #20 Tony Stewart gold mine.)

Unfortunate for me, the sale included the candy so I walked out with a box of Pop Rocks and a few Nerd’s rope’s. I am so addicted to those Nerd ropes now, I’m ready to go back and get another box.
