Fun on a Dime - Movie Night

It doesn’t take a creative genius to come up with this idea, but I thought I may as well point out the obvious and make sure you are doing it as inexpensively as possible. So some people go ALL OUT on their movie nights with a bazillion types of chips, cookies, sodas, and alcoholic beverages. For one thing, cut out the alcohol. It’s most likely your biggest expense and besides, it’ll just put everybody to sleep anyway. Then how will you get them out of your house at the end of the night?

But anyway, instead of putting out a huge spread for all your friends, just go potluck style and tell them each to bring something. They don’t even have to buy anything expensive. Baking is super cheap and is always better than month old cookies from Safeway. One other way to cut cost is with the movie itself. If you want to rent a new movie, I would recommend hooking a computer up to the TV and running something off of Netflix, but if that’s unavailable, then head to your nearest Redbox or Blockbuster Express (aka the blue Redbox).  Going this route, I’m sure that no one would spend much more than a buck! That’s a pretty good value for food, friends, and a film!
