“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.

As an added bonus with our Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan purchase, we can now have at least one free movie night monthly with the FREE movie offer on VUDU, as well.

So, a total win-win.

    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

    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.

  5. 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 🙂

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    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

  11. 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 🙂

  13. 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.
    Sinea♥

    • Janine says

      Aw, Sinea thank you so much for all your kind words here and I truly had a blast making and eating these Stay Puft Marshmallow Men with my family. And truly also agree with you on Walmart Family Mobile, too!! 🙂

  14. Christine Carter says

    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.

  22. Rea says

    Awww those marshmallows!!! SO CUTE! 🙂 Pretty good deal for that mobile phone by the way. Not planning to get a phone for Reiko yet but he does borrow our phones most of the time.
