Cinema for less
Same film, same seat — often for a third of the price. Plus the maths on unlimited passes.

| Option | Price | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Vue Mighty Mornings | From £2.49 | 10am screenings, booked online |
| Odeon Saver Mondays | From £4.50 | Free Odeon Extras membership needed |
| Cineworld Tesco Tuesdays | £5 | Tesco Clubcard (free) needed |
| 2-for-1 Tuesdays or Wednesdays | Half price for two | Meerkat Movies needs a product bought through Compare the Market |
| Cineworld Unlimited | £12.99–£22.99 a month | Price depends on your cinema |
| Odeon Limitless | £16.99 a month | £19.99 for Limitless Plus |
