Why we don’t go to the pictures more often….?
There's a perfectly good reason why we rarely go to the pictures - it costs a bloody fortune....(Excuse the dollar signs - ever since I got my laptop back my pound sign has gone AWOL)$23.00 to get in - Me and Miss Frugal went to see Princess and the Frog and the boys went to see Astroboy.$8.00 for two cokes and a packet of Revels$4.50 for two small bags of pick n mix and when I say small I mean small!So altogether for two hours entertainment $35.50!!!!Todays lesson in How to be more frugal - don't go to the pictures.The films were good and the kids had fun though so it was worth it … [Read more...]
