Five other ways to save money at the movie theater

Many Americans are cutting back on their entertainment spending due to rising everyday prices. But if you're strategic, you can take advantage of discounts that make going to the movies more affordable. Here are a few ways to save money on your next movie date:

• Attend a matinee screening: Most theaters have higher ticket prices in the evenings. If your schedule allows you to see a show in the afternoon, matinee prices are often much more affordable and can allow you to stay on budget.
• Go on discount days: You can save money by going to your local theater on a discounted ticket day. Many theaters offer ticket deals on a set day of the week, which could provide significant savings -- especially if you're buying multiple tickets.
• Join free loyalty programs: Don't forget about free loyalty programs if you visit the same theater frequently. Many theaters have these programs available at no extra cost, and you may be able to earn discounts on tickets or save on concession snacks by becoming a member.
• Support your independent theaters: You can also save money by seeing a movie at a local independent theater. Some smaller theaters host discounted or free movie events throughout the year. As a plus, you'll be supporting a small business.
• Go to the drive-in: Many drive-in theaters have affordable admission prices and some offer two screenings for the price of one. If you're looking for a low-cost, fun summertime activity, you may want to check out your local drive-in theater.

Yes, life gets more expensive each day. But going to the movies doesn't have to break your budget. If you're strategic, you can plan a fun movie outing without going racking up costly debt. For additional ways to save money, check out our personal finance resources.
