We have a movie theater in town that for several years operated as a discount theater showing movies that might still be in the theater, but definitely were not first run. A few years back they closed with no fanfare. Then a few weeks back we heard they were reopening. Up to this point the girls have only been to a theater once with mixed results - last summer when a I took them to see Puss in Boots. So yesterday we stopped by to see what movies were playing with the idea of trying to go as a family. The theater was open with a couple of kid friendly films on the schedule, but there was a catch - they only take cash, we didn't have any and they don't have an ATM. So we regrouped and decided to try again the next day.
We had a light lunch after church so we would enjoy our popcorn and headed out. The theater is run down, but no worse than it was when we last went a few years back. At least our feet didn't stick to the floor and they had cup holders. The movie was $2 per person and along with a two drink/big popcorn special we all four went to the movies for $19. The girls did great, we saw The Croods - it was a little intense for them in a few parts, but when it was over they wanted to see it again, which is always a good sign. We will definitely go again.
Oh and after we were so frugal at the movies we stopped by Toys R Us where the girls tried to convince me they really needed their own car.
