How to Save money if you or your Kids are Students! http://www.goodbyedebthellomoney.com/2009/08/going-to-the-movies-how-to-save-money-if-you-or-your-kids-are-students/ http://www.goodbyedebthellomoney.com/2009/08/going-to-the-movies-how-to-save-money-if-you-or-your-kids-are-students/#comments Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:38:51 +0000 admin http://www.goodbyedebthellomoney.com/?p=12 Do you like going to the movies where you live?  It can be fun to go to the movies with a friend, on a date, to get away for a while, or to take your kids out.  Around where I live most standard movie prices are $7.50 or so.  Some movie theater’s (not many) are up to $10 per ticket.  I know in the north east and large cities movie theaters can be expensive.  A good thing is though that a lot of movie theaters give a student discount.  Most theaters around here charge $6.00 on student tickets saving you $1.50 per movie ticket.  So if you are a student, your kids are a student or your date is a student it is a good way to save money.   They may ask you for a student ID to give you the discount, depending on the theater or the person working.  Some are strict about this discount and some are not.
