During our recent road trip one thing we did was go to the movies. I’ve spent more than $50 bucks at the movies before and we now watch most of our movies at home. I figured that if we got all the movie channels, the money we saved from one trip would be worth it (and it has been).
But sometimes there is a movie that your kids “have” to see, or one that you want to see. Here are some tips to help you save a bit.
1. Go for the mantinee - in the town we live in that saves you about 50% on the ticket. You will also get to see the movie better because it will be less crowded. We went to see Witch Mountain (which we enjoyed) and there were about 10 people in the theater, counting us.
2. Eat before you go. If you’re full before you go then you will get less requests for popcorn or a candy bar that costs 5 bucks. My wife packs a bottomless purse (don’t ask me how much it weighs) and she brings some water and small snacks.. for just in case.
3. Stay away from the games.
Our trip for 3 cost us less than 20 bucks.
Have a wonderful Friday!
