Remember the days when you just needed patience and a dollar to see a movie? Well now all you need is patience and five dollars! Kerosotes Theaters have this nifty club ingeniously called, The Five Buck Club. I read about it on Gapers Block a few months ago, filled out the application, and within a week or so, my member card showed up in the mail.
I've used it twice and it's easy schmeezy. All you do is wait (that's where the patience comes in) for a movie to be out 2-3 weeks and be shown at a participating Kerosotes theater, show your card to the ticket seller and BAM! You get in for $5. Technically the website site says it is good for one ticket, but both times we've gotten both our tickets for only $5. My husband & I just saw Juno on Monday with this baby. Other movies that have been on the list for this special included "Alvin & The Chipmunks" and "I Am Legend," so there is a good mix between family movies and date night movies. And with the going rate for babysitters, us parents need a way to save money at the movies other than sneaking in red rope licorice & bottles of water.
