Chicago’s $5 Movie Club


We heard about  a cheap movie club from a reader who emailed us when we first started the website. Then, a few months later, our PR Bombshell, Lindsey came to us talking about a way to see movies for $5. We were intrigued, but with all the information we are bombarded with from day to day, it ended up in the back of our minds somewhere. But, when the ABC News feature ran last month (Chic but Cheap) and we were highlighted alongside this much talked about Five Buck Movie Club we felt like the cosmos were trying to tell us something- “Spread the word of the Five Buck Club! It will save your readers money!” Well, Universe, you spoke and we (finally) listened. 

This is, honestly, one of the best deals we have ever come across. In recent years it has become increasingly expensive to go out to the movies. Between rising ticket prices and costly concessions it can run around $20 just to catch a flick. Kerasotes Theatres feels your pain, PoorLittleRichGirls, and doesn’t want you to miss out just because you’re pinching pennies.

If you’re willing to wait a few weeks after a film has been released, you pay just five bucks to get in (at participating Kerasotes Theatres). Thats’ more than 50% off! (A regular adult ticket price is $10.75) It’s free to join the Five Buck Club and so easy to sign up online. They’ll send you a card in the mail, then each Thursday they’ll send you an email with the movies, theaters and show-times for which you are eligible to use your Five Buck Club card.
