Money & Movies

Ok sooooo I'm slacking on the 4-F premise of this blog! I've talked plenty about food, fashion, and even fitness but not so much on the finances. That may be b/c that is a struggle for me. I am working on not spending too much and saving as much a I can. When you are doing that every dime adds up.

The movies are a treat for me b/c I already pay an arm and a leg for On Demand and movies get on there mighty fast so I tend to wait well today I learned that the movies can be more affordable than I thought!

I am at that age when I remember when the movies were 3 bucks! Seriously, I remember my Dad paying that for me to see E.T.! Lately I've paid an average of $10.00 to go to the movies. So if I see a movie , a, meaning only one per month in a year I've spent $120.00!

But today my sister aka the cheapskate extraordinaire (ok fiscally savvy sister) informed me that the first show is only $5.00 in my area! Who knew?? Now I mention this b/c I have a good friend who is waiting for netflicks to see X-Files because of the cost. She is working on saving as much as possible now b/c she bought her first condo this fall after living at home for a number of years. That was eye opening for me b/c she is a HUGE X-files fan, like loves Mulder to death type fan. Now I'm no Michelle Singletarybut I think cutting my cost from $120 to $60 a year would even make her proud!

X-Files was GREAT!!!!
