RE: What Can You Buy For $10.00 in Your Market Friday?

This is the link to my entry - https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@debbie-ese/market-friday-with-dswigle-some-clarification-on-how-perishable-goods-stay-longer-in-possession-of-sellers-in-markets.

$10 is quite a lot when it is converted to my Nigerian Naira. It can get a movie ticket for two and there will still be some money available to take cab back home. LOL.

It can conveniently prepare a meal for four people as well but they may not eat up to their satisfaction.

Wow! I can barely buy one ticket for $10.00! That is pretty amazing that you can buy all of that! That is one of the things I like about #MarketFriday, jut learning things like this!

Thank you for participating!

#MarketFriday loves you!

$10.00 is about N6,000 and depending on the movie, the year of release most tickets (including popcorn 🍿 and drinks 🍾sell for at least N2,500. Two tickets is N5,000 and there will still be about a thousand naira remaining.

Even at this price most people still find it expensive to afford. N2,500 is a whole lot of money for most people to use to see a movie.

What is an average price of movie ticket in the USA?

I live in Washington, DC, so it is higher here an in all the cities. However, there are small independent theaters that have movies for half the normal price. If you take into consideration the highs and lows for the country, they average it to be $9.50 with under $7.00 on the cheap side and about $13.00 on the higher side. 3D movies cost more, as does popcorn and a drink.

In the long run, ours are higher than yours, but, the cost of living is higher, so I think we all have overpriced tickets! :) @debbie-ese

I dislike the average price though as I read somewhere that in Washington, DC, the average price for two movie tickets is $28.00 - so it depends on what kind of accommodations you have. Some have comfy chairs that tilt back and massage you. I don't want to fall asleep in the movies! ( I know of only a couple that has the amazing chairs and NO! I don't go to them. :)
