There’s a perfectly good reason why we rarely go to the pictures – it costs a bloody fortune….
(Excuse the dollar signs – ever since I got my laptop back my pound sign has gone AWOL)
$23.00 to get in – Me and Miss Frugal went to see Princess and the Frog and the boys went to see Astroboy.
$8.00 for two cokes and a packet of Revels
$4.50 for two small bags of pick n mix and when I say small I mean small!
So altogether for two hours entertainment $35.50!!!!
Todays lesson in How to be more frugal – don’t go to the pictures.
The films were good and the kids had fun though so it was worth it (almost!).
I know what you mean, I cancelled our Lovefilm a little while ago but I am thinking of starting ours up again…. I always forget to send them back straight away though lol
We went to see Avatar in 3D, and will do the same for Alice in Wonderland. I won't go to the cinema otherwise, because it's too expensive, too loud, too cramped, too close to the screen, etc.
I've just reactivated our Lovefilm sub – £7.99 for 4 movies a month; it's a no-brainer.
Lol. Tell me about it Heather, if i'd wanted a hot dog that would have set me back another four pounds!
It's nowhere to be found Sue, I think I might need to change my keyboard settings or something techie like that – way over my head I'm afraid!!!
flipin' heck! that's ridiculous!
not behind number 4 key is it? S x
