If you live in State College, you may or may not be aware of Bargain Tuesday at the UEC Theaters! If not, let me tell you this…it’s a damn good deal! All movies, all day are $5.50 and you get a free 46oz bag of popcorn per person when you present your UEC Loyalty Card. (3D movies are a $2.75 up charge). This offer is valid at either State College location – both the College 9 Theater (near Lowes on North Atherton) and also the College 12 Theater (on Benner Pike near the Nittany Mall).
It’s a great date night, family night out or even a solo outing if you are just looking for some peace and quiet away from your kiddos!
Yesterday we went as a family for the first time and saw Toy Story 4. We went to the 5:20 showing at the College 12 and it was not overly crowded at the early evening show time – especially given that it was the first Bargain Tuesday since the movie’s release last week. However, when our showing let out, it was packed for the 7pm-ish showings with a line out the door!

Overall, we LOVE Bargain Tuesdays (minus the 3 bathroom trips during the movie with 2 young kids!). You can’t beat it!
UEC offers Bargain Tuesday at their theaters in the following states: Arkansas, California, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah.
And if you haven’t seen Toy Story 4 – it was definitely worth it! The girls LOVED “Forky”!!! It was waaaaay better than Toy Story 3!
