So it's Saturday evening and my family is doing the movie thing on the cheap. We picked up the critically acclaimed movie "Avatar" from our local library. Another quick stop at the local Dollar tree store provided the necessary movie snacks, popcorn and soda. For some reason no movie is complete without the popcorn at my house.
We don't have to worry about where to sit, we already have the best seats in the house. We don't have to worry about missing any scenes while running to the bathroom, we just pause the DVD player as needed. We can also watch the movie as many times as we want because the library DVDs check out for 7 days at a time. Of course we aren't that greedy, we will return the DVD on Monday to continue the circulation.
So a night at the movie theater would have cost us $ 30.oo just for tickets and another $ 20.00 just for one bucket of popcorn and 4 soda's. Since we went the frugal route we only spent $ 1.oo on a 3 pack of microwave popcorn and a $ 1.00 for 3 liter soda. Only $ 2.oo!! Now that's a real frugal deal for a family of four.
