Here are some tips for saving money:
At the movies:
- If you’re going with your significant other, buy a large drink and share! (free refills!)
- Try going to the matinées, tickets are cheaper and some movie theatres give a discount for the first showing of the day (weekdays only)
- Purchase a smaller size popcorn, believe it or not… a small is enough popcorn for a two hour movie!
- Skip on candy, the prices are way too high
At restaurants:
- Share a meal. (Servers hate this, so leave a really big tip)
- Drink water.
- Skip on desert, eat one at home.
- Order non perishable foods, then your leftovers become tomorrow’s lunch!
- Go during happy hour
At entertainment venues:
- Check to see if they have a frequent visitor deal. (i.e. a season pass)
- Some places may be cheaper on weekdays, check to see.
- Don’t go for the gimmicky souvenirs, they’ll just end up the trash soon.
- Group rates, when divided, are usually cheaper. Make friends!
For all around savings, I would suggest buying an Entertainment Book. They have great deals all around.
