The Budget Theater
Posted by Tad Johnson - Mar 24th, 2008 at 20:03Even with all the media alternatives, I still enjoy the good old fashioned movie theatre. There’s something comforting about the sticky floors, the warm popcorn, and the giant screen. The problem is, tickets have gotten expensive.
Gone are the days when you and a date could view a movie and get snacks for under $20. (At that price, you could buy the DVD!) Fortunately, there’s an easy alternative : the budget theatre.
Here in Milwaukee, the budget theatre costs a whopping $2 for a ticket ($1 on Tuesdays) and plays second-run movies–usually just before they’re released on DVDs.
Is it worth waiting a month to see that new movie? I sure think so. Since I’m a regular budget-theater-goer, I’ve more or less adjusted my internal movie release clock (after all, they’re all new movies until you see them!)
Saving a few bucks on a movie ticket isn’t going to make you a millionaire alone, but it’s just another example where a little patience can save you a bundle in the long run.

On the way home from the theater I thought about suggesting this to you as a post for this site. Turns out you were all over it.
