“You watched Ghostbusters the night before you had me.”
While shopping recently in Walmart, my older daughter stated this to me. It is a little known fact that we did view the 1984 original movie that fateful evening years back right before having her. Also, she happens to know this as we have told her this enough times over the years. So upon seeing the promotional display for the new Ghostbusters Blu-ray DVD, she happily reminded me of this.
Then, she asked if we could purchase The Ghostbusters new Blu-ray DVD extended version to have our own family Ghostbusters movie night. See The New Ghostbusters” now happens to be available on Blu-ray, DVD and 4K Ultra HD.
How could I resist?
I mean Ghostbusters has always had a special place in my heart not just from that evening over 7 years ago. But as a kid, my younger brother and I totally adored the original Ghostbuster movie. We must have watched that Ghostbuster movie many times over. And the newer, updated, Ghostbuster version is sure to be a classic, as well.
Plus, during this shopping trip I also actually got an idea for an upcoming holiday gift for my same darling, older daughter. See she has been asking for a mobile phone, but I have been hesitant as she is still fairly young. I happen to see the display for Walmart Family Mobile with the Ghostbusters 2016 movie being prominently advertised with it.
It turns out Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan features Unlimited Talk, Text and Data that actually includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE PLUS a FREE movie on VUDU. The free movie is a $7 value. This plan is available for the low price of $49.88 monthly. Walmart’s Family Mobile Plans are sure to help all #CatchMoreData.
With that extra data alone, I am pretty sure my daughter could play her favorite games, such as Minecraft with plenty of data still leftover.
So what mobile phone did I end up purchasing?
The Samsung Galaxy On5- $119.00
Along with it, I had to purchase the Nano Starter Kit, which was on rollback for $19.88 (from $25). Because Family Mobile bills you later, I only had to pay $19.88 when I indeed signed up. So, my out of pocket cost was really low compared to other prepaid carriers at only $19.88 to get started.

So, as we head to Halloween, Ghostbusters (2016) is the perfect family movie night movie. Of course, I purchased the new Blu-ray extended version for this reason.
So, a total win-win.
And by the way, what movie night is complete without a fun, movie inspired treat?

Meredith Spidel says
Cute idea! And I really want to see this movie now–and do some phone shopping at Walmart!
Janine says
Thanks Meredith and I know total bonus getting to see the movie and shop at Walmart, too!! 🙂
Seana Turner says
I was a big fan of the original. I’m sure the remake is good, but I haven’t seen it. Cute marshmallow man!
Janine says
Thanks Seana and like I said loved the original, but also now enjoyed the new version, too 🙂
Diane Roark says
Janine,
We always have family movie night usually on Friday nights. I am going to have to check out this movie and make your adorable ghosts buster. While I am at Walmart I need to check out a phone plan for one of my sons.
Thanks for all the information,
Diane
Janine says
Happy to share and love you do movie nights with your kids, too. Definitely glad you will also be trying out my ghosts and looking into the phone plans for your son, too 🙂
William Holland says
I have this thing against WalMart, but it stems from merchandising their stores. They hire some of the rudest people on the planet, and at times they have made my life miserable….so no WalMart for this boy. 🙂 But I do wish you a wonderful Tuesday, as the rain falls gently to the ground in Olympia.
Janine says
Thanks Bill and stay dry on this rainy Tuesday now, too!!
Kenya G. Johnson says
If only I coud separate myself from the iPhone, I might take a gamble and switch plans. That’s a good deal. But it’s hard to figure out exactly how much your plan is when your phone payment is built in. I hate that.
I didn’t know the movie was aleady out. It seems like it was just at the movie. I still want to see it but Christopher didn’t want to go see it.
The marshamallows are adorable.
Janine says
I totally get it, Kenya. I think you know how I feel about the iPhone, but I will say Samsung phones and products in general are growing on me and can see why they are a huge competitor to Apple at this point. That said, I hope you get to see the new Ghostbusters movie and try my marshmallow treats, too 🙂
Mary says
Ghostbusters was a favorite around my house also, I watched that movie over and over and over again, and I have a feeling the new one will also be a classic. I love that they casted all women, it shows me how far women comedy have come. These Stay Puft Marshmallow Men treats are adorable.
Janine says
I agree totally, Mary and seriously we have indeed come along way. Also hope you get to try my Stay Puft Marshmallow treats watching the new movie soon now 🙂
Tamara says
Honestly, this made my day. Your execution is flawless. And now you know my little secret. Shhh..
I’m totally making these with the kids. They love the movie although Des constantly asks me if Stay Puft is scary! Well… yes.. but delicious.
Janine says
On the flip side, you made my day and seriously cannot wait to see what you shared with me. And to Des, scary, but delicious indeed 🙂
The Rambler says
My kid is a marshmallow pig so this will be fun and festive to do for Halloween. Maybe go buy the DVD and make it a movie night with lights off kind of day.
Sidenote: I hated that I had to google what Ultra 4K HDR was and still got confused. Dang it, I’m turning into my mother.
#Happynowlinkup
Janine says
Aw, love the costume your picked and do hope you can make these soon, too 😉
Aunt Gloria says
Have fun enjoying all your Ghostbuster films and goodies! Ghostbuster has real meaning since Emma was born the next day after you watched the movie. You did well on getting the family phone set up. Will Emma have her own phone now? Oh boy! Have a good week…….xxoo
Janine says
Thanks Aunt Gloria and just kicking it around. Nothing definite yet. Have a great week here, as well!! xoxo
Stephanie [client] says

Cynthia says
Who ya gonna call?
Hahah.
Hope you’re well, dear friend! Happy Wednesday!
And Samsung? You!? I thought you were an Apple gal. 😀 Hehe.
Anyways, hope you have a wonderful week! Take care!
Janine says
Aw, I totally thought that first line immediately myself. And good memory as the Samsung is for my oldest and still loving Apple here myself though. Happy Wednesday and wishing you a wonderful week, too now 🙂
Camille says
I love Ghostbuster movies! And these are cute!

Thanks so much, Camille!! 😉
Ducks 'n a Row (@SineaPies) says
Janine, you have outdone yourself here, girl! I love it 🙂 So glad they kept the marshmallow man in the remake. That was one of the best parts of the original movie!
Hubby and I both have Samsung phone with Walmart Family Mobile and we love them – both the phones and the plan. I highly recommend it.

Oh my goodness SO much cool stuff here! I just LOVE those cute snacks, Janine! And gosh, I just adored the first Ghostbusters… I always am hesitant to try all the ‘new’ versions of classic movies- BUT I think you have me SOLD.
Janine says
Yay and so glad I sold you on the new movie, as I don’t think you will be disappointed 🙂
Jen says
