How to Have a Cheap Movie Date
Going to the cinema to watch a movie is one of the most common ideas for a date in pretty much every part of the world, as a movie date offers couples the opportunity to spend some quality time with each other, along with providing them plenty of entertainment. If your budget does not allow you to take your date out for a lavish dinner or to a party at an exclusive club, watching a movie together can be a great option for the two of you. While the idea might seem cliched at first, and make you apprehensive owing to the cost of movie tickets and snacks in the cinema, you can actually save a lot of money by being a little creative, while making sure that the movie date is a wonderful experience for both you and your partner.

1
Try to find cheap tickets
Movie tickets in cinemas or theatres are usually more expensive on weekends or at prime time (mostly in the evening). If you are looking to go on a cheap movie date, you should buy tickets for weekdays and/or tickets for shows during daytime - this way, the tickets you buy will be relatively cheaper. On top of that, you should also keep in mind that the price of tickets for the rows at the very back of the theatre are also cheaper, as compared to the tickets for all the other seats.
In addition to being clever when it comes to buying the tickets, you should also select your cinema with care. There are bound to be lots of different cinemas in your town, offering a range of ticket prices. You should conduct a thorough search on the ticket prices in different cinemas and select one according to your budget. -

Do not go for newly-released movies
The prices of tickets for newly-released movies are bound to be expensive, as compared to the tickets for regular movies. Therefore, if you are looking to go on a cheap movie date, it is highly recommended that you go for the older movies the cinema is playing. In addition to the fact that the theatre will be less crowded, the prices will also be reasonably affordable. -

Eat at home
You should have a substantial meal at home just before you leave for the movie date; consider cooking up a tasty meal at home, and inviting your partner to share it with you, before you two head off to the cinema. Most of the time, dinner or lunch can be the most expensive part of a date; therefore, you can save a lot of money by eating at home. -

Do not make false promises
It is always preferable to be honest in relationships. You will find yourself in deep trouble if you fall into the habit of making false promises to your partner, which you are later unable to fulfil. Let your partner know about your circumstances; if she truly loves you, she will understand and will respect your honesty. If she backs out of the relationship owing to your weak financial situation, do not feel bad, and understand that this means she was never yours to begin with.
