Tips for saving at the Theatre!

My little princess turns 4 this weekend and ALL she wants for her birthday is for her and her BFF to go see the new Chipmunks movie at the theatre. 

I typically do not frequent the theaters because it cost a small fortune!  Well, I was super excited when I met up with my old friend from Tyler Area Coupon Club this week and she shared with me her tips for saving money at the theatres! 

Here's the nutshell of it:

Tip #1:

     You can purchase a refillable popcorn bucket for an initial cost of $17.50, which sounds like a lot, but you get refills throughout 2012 for only $3.50 so it can pay for itself quite quickly!  (if you are caught up and already have a bucket from 2011 you can trade it in for a FREE large drink when you purchase your new 2012 bucket!)

Tip #2:

     Tuesday is stimulus deal day!  You can purchase a small popcorn for $1, small drink for $1 AND a boxed candy for $2.50.

Tip #3:

     Super-Saver pricing: Any movie starting between 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM is only $5.50/person!

These prices and specials are good at any Carmike Cinema in the East Texas area.
