Budget friendly movies, see movies for half price!
I think that now-a-days it is very important for all of us to find the cheapest ways to enjoy the regular entertainment we are used to in life. Living in Colorado you only have so many months in that year that allow you to do outdoor activities I am a huge fan of doing everything outdoors as often as possible, but even in the summer and fall you have days when you cannot enjoy the beautiful outdoors. This has forced us to be creative with things to do because like everyone else we want to pay our debt off, and not create more trying to entertain ourselves outside of the house!
With this in mind I realized that many other people probably have the same goals in mind as us, so why not share what we have all found? I know that I am always looking for new exciting things to do on a budget, so I wanted to share mine with you.
I recently found out and joined the group called ‘The Five Buck Club’. When you join the Five Buck Club they give you a card (much like a discount card for grocery stores) so that you can see movies for only $5.00 a person! Of course there are some catches because this is HALF OFF of the normal movie ticket price. You typically can only see matinee movie times and use the discount card. This does mean that you can still see movies on weekends, you just cannot go to the most popular show times they have. You also can only go to certain theaters, which in some states can be the biggest downfall of this program. The only theaters that accept the ‘Five Buck Club’ discount card are specific participating Kerasotes Theaters. They have a list of all theaters on their website; www.FiveBuckClub.net. You also cannot see movies that are just out. It does not say exactly how long the movies must be out before being on the $5 movie list, but the general rule of thumb seems to look like as long as they are out for 2 weeks then you can see them for half the price.
So how do I know what movies I can see, what theaters I can go to, and what times I can go? Well there is one very simple answer to all of those questions! When you sign up to receive the card it will ask you for your email preferences, this is how you choose how much information you get on the theaters in your area. You will get an email every Thursday telling you what movies are included in the discount club and what show times you are able to see. It will include any theater that you select for it to include when you sign up. Personally I get it for all theaters anywhere near my area because I never know exactly where I will be when the mood to watch a movie may strike.
This program is perfect for all of you movie lovers out there that like to see movies away from the crowds! I personally do not mind full movie theaters when I go to movies, but I do dislike getting stuck in comedies with those very loud high school kids that feel the need to always laugh obnoxiously or repeat all that is saidJ. I was one of them so therefore now I can dislike them.
Remember, this is half off the ticket price so you and your spouse can now go check out a chick-flick and an action packed movie all for the price you would typically pay for just one of the movies! You both are winning and getting to see what you want and for what you normally pay for one! Can’t be that deal!
