Let’s All Go To The Moooovies!

When was the last time your family went to the movies? I’ll tell you, it is a special treat in my household and not a regular weekend occurence.

It is just too dang expensive for a family of four when you factor in those kid-packs and my jumbo soda.

Not so at the Ruskin Drive-In Theatre.  There the admission price is $4.50 for adults and children 8 and under are free.  They have a concession stand, but there is nothing preventing you from bringing your own goodies from home.  Including maybe something a little healthy for a change! In addition to saving money, perhaps this is a good idea for all you dieters out there. It is hard to be tempted by movie theater popcorn if you can’t smell it.

Plus you have all the comforts of “home.” You can go in your jammies if you want. Have a pillow to hug, or a loved one…

There are a few other drive-ins still in the area: The Silve Moon in Lakeland,  Fun Lan in Tampa and the Joy-Lan Drive-In in Dade City.  All offer similar extreme discounts on first run movies.
