See the Movie for Much Less Money

At my house, we are all movie lovers.  However, we often do not get to the movies simply because they are so expensive.  However, if you would like to still see a great movie but save money, follow these tips:

• Purchase the movie you hope to see after it comes out on DVD.  Even if it costs $15-$20, you pay less than you would if at least 2 people go to see this same movie at a typical theater.
• Watch the movie on one of your movie channels at home.
• Rent the movie from your local Redbox or other movie rental location.  Movies can be rented for $1 per day when rented from the Redbox.  What a bargain!  Of course, be sure to return the movie the next day to keep this great price!  For a list of all of the Redboxes in your area, see the link, the click the “Find a Redbox” button on the top left corner or download their smart phone application!

Consider the following to figure your savings for this strategy:  Cost of movie at the theater for a matinée is around $8 and the cost of the Redbox rental $1.  Therefore, if you watched this movie through the Redbox rental, you could save $7/movie.  Suppose you see a movie a month, you save $7 X 12 Months = $84 for the year!  If you have children or are married, your savings are much higher!
