Movie Theater discounts $6 and up

 I like movie theater popcorn, and a giant screen. Did I mention I like to save money? 

Cheapest way to go see a movie is an advance screening. You get free passes for a specific movie, date and time, usually a few days prior to the movies release. You can find out about advance screening on local radio stations or email from a screening company like https://searchlightscreenings.com/ these can be very random and last minute. 

Since we no longer have discount theaters you can take advantage of the discounts at the regular theaters. Tuesday, Matinee, Senior, Student, and Military. Make sure to ask for your discount.
