Cheap Date Night: Dinner and A Movie

This week, Frugal Family scoured our local sources in South Whitehall (and nearby) for a cheap date night or a family outing.

This week's savings: Go to the movies (and out for dinner) for less.

How about dinner and a movie for under $50?  With movie tickets costing $8.50, you can easily spend a small fortune on your date, or your family. By the time you add in popcorn, candy and soda at the movies, you're easily spending more than $30 for a night out, and that doesn't even include dinner.

Red Robin has a frugal-friendly solution -- a Dinner and a Movie Special. You and your date can each choose a menu item from the Gourmet Burger or Soups
and Sandwiches categories, and you each get a movie ticket for the , for a total of $32.99 (plus beverages, tax and tip).

Be romantic and share a popcorn and soda, and you can have an evening out without spending a fortune.

If you're interested in getting the entire family out for some time together, the movies are still the answer.  Head to the AMC Tilghman Square 8 bright and early on a Saturday morning for the best ticket price in town --movie tickets for just $4 each when you go before noon. Additional charges apply for IMAX, 3D, Fork & Screen and Cinema Suites.
