It's just way too expensive. I'm extra mad now that a large popcorn and pop cost $20 with NO refills! That's just daylight robbery and the movies without popcorn sucks. :( snowjewelz on "How often do you go to the movies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-to-the-movies#post-1463317 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:22:28 +0000 snowjewelz 1463317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We only went to the movies in the last 2 years b/c DH wanted to see The Hobbit series. So we'll def be going to the movies one more time. Otherwise, we never go! Too expensive! stargal on "How often do you go to the movies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-to-the-movies#post-1462831 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 08:59:06 +0000 stargal 1462831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Like 7 years ago.....lol mrs.shinerbock on "How often do you go to the movies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-to-the-movies#post-1462371 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 22:10:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1462371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We used to go whenever we visited my parents because they love movies and the local theater is so cheap ($5 and $3.50 for matinee!), but we haven't seen any since LO was born. I've considered going to a mommy matinee, but don't think LO will sleep through it now.

We see one at Thanksgiving b/c we stay w/ my aunt, and she is happy to watch DD while we go to a movie. This year we also saw one over our Christmas break while DD still had daycare.

Although, DH and I never pick it as a date night activity anymore, because we would rather do something that gives an opportunity to talk and reconnect a bit.

They took their friends kids for one evening a month, and then their friends took their kids for one evening a month. It meant that they each got a monthly date night without having to pay for babysitting - and the kids get a playdate! If I knew more families with kids, I might do that. autumnlove on "How often do you go to the movies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-to-the-movies#post-1462029 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 19:33:06 +0000 autumnlove 1462029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Before LO, once a month!

I cannot believe how much people pay for babysitters in some areas of the - that is more than I make at my JOB!! ;) Thankfully babysitters here are MUCH cheaper.

It's crazy expensive here for the cinema so I don't think it's worth it.

The last movie watched at the theatre was The Hobbit. My DH likes to buy the DVDs and also download the digital copy to our iTunes account.

Only if our parents are in town to babysit for free. I don't want to pay a sitter $20/hour just to go see a movie!
