Saving Money The Nitty Gritty - How to Save Money on Movies and Video

The average movie ticket price for 2008 was $7.18. So for a family of four the price (without popcorn) would run you $28.72.

The first thing you’ll need to figure out is how long can you wait to see hit movies.

We have talked some about how you can save some money when going to the theater .

We also talked about some ways to get tv for free - those links would also help you find movies for nothing.

DVD prices again have a broad range - again this is usually based on how long the dvd has been out. The longer it’s been out the cheaper it is. Taking a look at Amazon the price of a recent Blu-Ray movie is about $25.00.
“Normal” DVDs have a price of around $16.00.

It doesn’t matter to me exactly when I see a movie. With our cable service we subscribe to all the movie channels. That means I get to watch movies about 6 months or so after they’ve been in the theaters. But the thing to remember is that the movie is ‘new’ to me… so when it came out doesn’t really matter.

The key here is to make a budget and stick to it.
