Fleece-Free Flicks

For a lot of people, going to a movie is a favorite form of entertainment. However, with tickets now $10 in many markets and a “small” container of popcorn going for nearly $5, even a love story can seem a horror show. Some money saving tips from SmartMoney.com included the following. Find the freebies. Regal Entertainment Group offers free kid-friendly movies each Tuesday and Wednesday morning this summer. Seek out discounts. Entertainment books usually offer reduced price tickets, and right now you can get a free 2008 book (shipping will cost $4.99) when you order a 2009 book. Lastly, don’t buy tickets online, where you’ll pay a premium for the “convenience.”

The biggest mark-ups are at the concession stand. It’ll be cheaper to have your snacks before or after the show. Wouldn’t going to the movies be an all around better experience if everyone did that? There’s nothing like a chorus of popcorn munching to put a damper on some good dialogue.
