145 Trips to Movie Theaters

In 2017, the average movie ticket price was $8.97, according to the Hollywood Reporter. You could see 145 movies at that price before you exhaust your monthly Social Security benefit. However, that doesn’t include the cost of popcorn, drinks or other snacks at the theater.

To save money, you can wait until the movie comes out on DVD and borrow it from Redbox for $1.75 a day, or from a library for free. Then, you can invite friends and family to watch the movie together — the snacks will probably cost less than the ticket price for one of you to see the movie alone.
