The Proposal

L and I saw the movie 'The Proposal' last night and we loved it. M and K saw 'The Transformers' and they loved that one. Both theatres were very crowded. We decided to get the movie tickets from Costco Wholesalers. For $25.99 plus 5% GST tax you can get a ticket which gives admission for 2, including 2 regular soft drinks and 1 regular popcorn. I just noticed that CAA autoclub sells the same tickets for $24.58. And they also sell just 1 ticket for $8.32. Regular adult admission 11.50, 8.99 child, senior Regular soft drinks $3.99 Regular popcorn $4.99 (add 72c for butter, margarine is no extra cost) $10.50 and $8.00 at another nearby theatre. These wouldn't be the matinee prices. So it seems that I should get a bunch of tickets from CAA and keep them handy for the summer! I also noticed movie ticket prices vary from city to city within Ontario, some smaller theatres charge $8.99 for regular admission.

We've been waiting for L's mouth to swell up, as we were warned it will do, a few days after wisdom teeth surgery. But so far, so good, she hasn't really swelled up and the challenge is to start syringing the bottom sockets religiously over the next couple of weeks. Quite a few teenagers have been having their wisdoms out this summer, it must be a trend. But I would advise getting them out sooner rather than later based on L's experience. I suppose they just root themselves deeper over the years.

Well, I simply must go for a walk now and get some exercise.

  1. We had the boy's wisdom teeth out before they were rooted and it was so much easier. Are the tickets good for any show?

    Have a great weekend

  2. SoccerMom, the tickets have something like a 2 year expiry, not bad, eh? You just have to check the back and of course, remember that you have them.
