The secret's out... most of us are BROKE this summer. Forget the fancy vacations and time abroad; most of us are lucky to secure mini getaways to somewhere close by. Many people, particularly here in the Garden State, are actually opting to do more localized experiences that won't cost an arm and leg.

Excursions like bowling, skating, and going to the movies are making a huge a comeback lately.

When's the last time you went to the movies? Can you even remember? So many of us here in New Jersey haven't been to the movies since the before the pandemic. That all started to change recently, though.

Most expensive movie tickets in New Jersey

While it's true that movie ticket prices aren't as cheap as they once were, say, a decade ago, it still beats paying for an expensive trip, right? You have to do something to entertain yourself when times are tough.

It's not likely that movie theaters will take a huge downturn like many of the malls here in the Garden State did. Sure, there's streaming platforms galore these days, but some blockbuster pictures can't be viewed simply on your TV screen in your living room. Some are just too epic and simply MUST be experienced on the big screen.

Go see Twisters in the movie theater if you haven't yet done so. It's SO good!
