You can’t carpool to work because you live in a rural area? You don’t drink coffee…or at least you don’t drink the drive thru version.

Refinancing your home isn’t a smart option for you? And neither is consolidating debt?). You already wash in cold water. You don’t smoke or eat out. You don’t have a landline or drink bottled water. And your thermostat is already down as low as you can handle it (in the winter) and you don’t even know where the nearest gym is located.

Cut out the movies altogether unless you can rent or borrow them for free. If you Google…”free Redbox rental codes” at about any given time you will find lots of free movie rental codes instead of having to pay for them! You could also organize a movie exchange with friends or family, I’m sure one of your friends has some movies you haven’t seen yet! Better yet, switch family movie night into family game night instead. Money Saved Per Year (based on 2 movie rentals per week at $3 per rental) = $3. Frugal tip to do instead of carpooling to work. Stop making extra trips to town or to the grocery store.

My goal for the new year is to only head to town a maximum of  2 times per month. Not only will this help save us money on gas but it will also save us money on un- necessary things we might buy while we are in town.

Money Saved Per Year (based on 2 gallons of gas (@$3 per gallon) per trip to town, 3 trips per week) = $9. Frugal tip to do instead of stop drinking coffee. Why stop at drinking coffee from the store?

Let’s stop buying all things that are easily made at home from the store! For the sake of this article let’s make that; Frozen Waffles, Applesauce, Pizza Crust, Hamburger Helper, and Rice Roni. Of course there are SO many more things!)Money Saved Per Year (based on 2 boxes/jars of each of the above per week, average priced) = $1. SO much more savings!)4. Frugal tip to do instead of stop dry cleaning. Let’s make this year all about getting reasonably priced clothing. My goal for this year is to not spend ANY money on new clothes and buy used clothing only.

Used clothing saves you at least 7. Of course your total saved may be much more or less depending on your clothing needs for your family. Money Saved Per Year (based on saving $7. Frugal tip to do instead of refinancing your home or consolidating debt.

While those 2 options may not be viable or smart for everyone, a much  better option is to use any extra money to make extra payments on the debt you already have. If you are paying any kind of interest rate this is going to save you in the long run (although you might not notice it as much as the savings above). Make it a goal this year to make at least one extra payment on each of your debts.

Money Saved Per Year = Varies. Frugal tip to do instead of washing in cold water. A good way to save money on washing clothing of course is to hang dry your clothes and not use the dryer, however if you have allergies that’s not an option and if you don’t have a yard that’s not an option, and in the winter that’s not an option. My favorite alternative? An indoor drying rack! If space is an issue for you like it is for me, you can always do a wall drying rack instead. And we will have a DIY post on that here soon!)Money Saved Per Year = $1.

Frugal tip to do instead of cutting smoking and eating out. If you’ve already cut these habits from your budget it’s time to look for another way to save. How about cutting out paper goods? There are great alternatives to just about everything, cloth diapers, cloth pads, cloth napkins, and cloth towels! We already utilize all of these things and I’ve noticed a huge savings.

Money Saved Per Year (based one 3 packages of diapers, 1 package of pads, 2 packages of napkins, and 8 rolls of toweling purchased per month) = $5. Frugal tip to do instead cutting bottled water and the landline. If you are like me you already don’t have a landline and drink water from the tap or filtered so you are unable to cut out both of those things. How about this year we looking into saving on our cell phones? If your plan is up this year it’s a good time to consider an alternative. Both of our phones are finished with their contracts this spring and we will not be renewing with the company we are with. If you already know of some great alternatives let us know in the comments!

Media Rights Capital'Ozark' Was Most Popular Streaming Show This Summer, According To New Audience Metric. By Michael Schneider.

A few months ago, a Netflix exec mused to Indie. Wire that he was actually surprised that the streaming service’s viewership data hadn’t leaked out. Plenty of Netflix insiders know exactly who’s watching what, and when. Yet, the streaming giant has managed to keep its ratings under lock and key. Accurate data remains a mystery to even top- level Hollywood execs outside of the Netflix bubble.

That’s starting to change, as more services chip away at the facade of Netflix ratings. Parrot Analytics has made headlines recently with its proprietary “Demand Expressions” metric, which looks at a variety of factors in determining a digital program’s popularity. And according to a new study revealed exclusively to Indie. Wire, the Jason Bateman drama “Ozark” led the pack among all streaming shows over the past 9. Demand Expressions” measures audience demand for a title — including streaming, social media, blogging, file sharing, blogging, comments and other sources. The measurement is weighed by importance, which means a stream or download take precedence. As for the Parrot Analytics data, the company shared the top 1.

United States over the past 9. Netflix easily dominates the roster. The sleeper hit “Ozark” actually topped the charts, while CBS All Access’ “Star Trek: Discovery” was No.

Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which remains popular even before the launch of Season 2. Hulu makes an appearance with Emmy winner “The Handmaid’s Tale,” but as has been discussed recently about the lack of buzz surrounding Amazon Prime’s programming, none of that service’s shows make the top 1. Visit the article at Indiewire. Ozark’ Renewed for Season 2.

By Joe Otterson“Ozark” has been renewed for Season 2 at Netflix, Variety has learned. Like the first, the second season will consist of 1. The series follows financial planner Marty (Jason Bateman) and his wife Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney). Who Won The 1972 Summit Series on this page. Without warning, Marty relocates the family from the suburbs of Chicago to a summer resort community in the Missouri Ozarks after a money laundering scheme puts him in the crosshairs of a Mexican drug lord. Bateman directed multiple episodes in addition to serving as an executive producer. Chris Mundy executive produced and wrote for the series.

Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams created the series and also executive produce. The series is produced by Bateman’s Aggregate Films in association with Media Rights Capital for Netflix.

The series has received mostly positive reviews, with Variety‘s Sonia Saraiya writing: “ The taut thriller veers close toward storytelling pitfalls that other prestige dramas have made — strippers, money laundering, infidelity, a sex tape, bags of cash, barrels of acid — but deftly avoids falling into the bleak soup of bloated streaming dramas about a tortured male soul. Ozark’ so carefully guides the audience through the story that it is one of the most compulsively watchable debuts of the year — a crime story that is part- thriller, part- caper, and endlessly surprising.”Netflix also recently renewed freshman comedy “GLOW,” which is a fictional account of a real all- female wrestling TV show from the 1. That renewal came on the heels of the cancellation of the drama series “Gypsy” starring Naomi Watts. Read the full article of Variety. Baby Driver Zooming Past $1.

M At Domestic B. O. By Anythony D'Alessandro. The Edgar Wright- directed action movie ballet will break the $1. M threshold by tomorrow according to rival estimates.

Baby Driver, made by Sony/Tri. Star, Working Title and Media Rights Capital to the tune of a net production cost of $3.

M, has been a breath of fresh air at a summer box office given its originality amid a litter of Nth franchise sequels, many of which have fallen short of providing any gas at the B. O. (take your pick: Alien: Covenant, The Mummy, Transformers: The Last Knight, etc.). Baby Driver is a clear example of Sony Pictures motion pictures group chairman Tom Rothman’s mandate at the studio: Make ambitious, original fare at a reasonable price so that there’s plenty of upside. In addition, Baby Driver is a big win for Hannah Minghella’s Tri.

Star Pictures. Much like Jordan Peele’s Get Out before it, what Baby Driver proves in this streaming age, is that audiences will drive to the multiplex to watch riveting, original, lower budget fare. Just because a film is considered niche and risky, doesn’t necessarily mean it should just be destined to home audiences. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have another brilliant summer film like Netflix’s $5. M- plus budgeted Okja, which despite its grand launch at the Cannes Film Festival, isn’t continuing to generate great buzz because it’s been shackled to the small screen. The way that Wright coordinates car chase sequences with punctuating sound and the rhythm of hard rock songs like Queen’s “Brighton Rock” or Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Bell Bottoms” is something to behold on the big screen, not a 7. K television. Top this off with Ansel Elgort and Lily James’ smoldering chemistry, and you have a movie.

Sony has been great about putting its below the line contenders out there during awards season, and Baby Driver should be in the mix. Currently, Baby Driver is playing at 8.

M this weekend (and if it doesn’t clear $1. M by tomorrow, then it will on Monday). In the pic’s seven weekend run, Baby Driver has averaged a - 3. Sony is currently planning to take the movie wide again during the weekend of Aug. Worldwide, Baby Driver stands at $1. M. Sony started the engines on this movie back at SXSW with a marketing/publicity campaign led by Danielle Misher, EVP of Tri. Star marketing. Baby Driver earned great reviews and slotted a 1.

Rotten Tomatoes score before opening, and leveraged that in their trailers. Damon Wolf, the head of creative advertising for Tri. Star, led the charge on creating the high octane, retro- style promos for the film with colorful vintage design posters and award- winning million- plus- view trailers (Best Action Trailer at 2. Golden Trailer Awards). From the onset, Baby Driver has been Wright’s highest grossing title of his career both on an opening and running total basis. He hatched the feature from an idea he formulated years ago.

Originally, the industry saw a $2. M take for Baby Driver in its five- day opening, but the pic trumped expectations during an Independence Day stretch with $2.

M, and $3. 9M in its first week of release.
