With the prices of fuel and other luxuries we previously took for granted rapidly rising many families and individuals are looking for ways to cut costs. One way to save money is to stay in rather than going out on the weekends but this money saving method can get boring very fast. A great way to save money while making staying at home seem like a treat is to create a theater experience in your own home. This doesn't involve as much money as you might think and will be much more affordable than taking the entire family out to the movies each weekend.

Invest in an affordable surround sound system for your television. These systems vary in cost and in many cases come with DVD players sold at major department stores. With a surround sound system attached to the most modest television watching a movie can quickly become an experience.

Another product to invest in that will help recreate the Theater experience is a popcorn maker. A fun part of the movie experience is the snacks that can be purchased at the Theater and having the right snacks at home can help make the experience a bit more authentic. It is easy to find and purchase the same candy available at the average concession stand but it is much harder to find the right popcorn. There are many microwavable popcorn brands that claim to taste the same as movie theater popcorn but these claims are often extremely exaggerated. Having a popcorn maker at your disposal will ensure that you and your family get the popcorn taste and quality you are expecting.

There are a wide variety of popcorn makers available on the market today both online and offline. Some popcorn makers even come with a cart to maximize that movie theater feel. It is up to the family to decide what type of popcorn maker will be best for their families needs. If you want to go all out and have the best experience possible you and your family might want to consider a large popcorn maker that is similar to the ones found in a concession stand or movie theaters backrooms. These popcorn makers come in modern and antique styles and create a large amount of popcorn. Families that have birthday parties or entertain often find these large quantities of popcorn especially useful.

For smaller families or more economical use moderate sized popcorn makers are available. These popcorn makers will produce a few bowls of popcorn at a time and are perfect for small families or couples who only need enough popcorn to get two or three people through one movie. Regardless of the size of the popcorn maker you choose you will find them easy to use and the popcorn and supplies you need to pop the perfect movie treat can be found in most grocery stores right along side the microwavable popcorn.

The next time you find yourself spending a large amount of money at the movie theater for your family and friends consider setting up your own theater experience. By investing just a little bit of money and time you will be able to set up a personalized Home Theater experience that will delight your family and friends while saving you a lot of money.

So you are ready to set up your home entertainment room. When doing so there are several things that you should consider to make the room both cost efficient and cool. There are so many choices available for all of the components that will go into the design of your room. You will not want to just go out and buy the first system you see. Take some time and effort to decide what is right for you and your home. So where do you start?

The first step would be to decide how much you want to spend. Most of us think that to get the "best" components we will have to spend a great deal of money. This is not always the case. You can find components that are considered outdated technology (a few months old in some cases) for a reasonable price.

Next would be to draw a floor plan. In doing so, make sure that you map out all of your electrical outlets. Start by determining the best position for the television. Then move on to seating, speakers and even lighting for the best experience possible. Good rooms have two main aspects, the electronic equipment and the space that the equipment occupies.

A basic home theater system is made up of 3 basic components. A television, DVD or Blu Ray player and speakers. You can add many other components, but this is the minimum to get you started. Which brands are best, do I want DVD or Blu Ray and do I want 3 speakers or 5? You can answer these questions by doing some research. The internet is filled with websites that review hundreds of products. Go to your local electronics store. Talk to your neighbors and friends to see what they have and how they like theirs.

Another aspect of your home entertainment room will be the furniture. We are not only talking about the couch and chairs, but the television and speaker stands that you may want to purchase. Again, you can do your homework and find the best deals and brands for your needs.

This may seem more trouble than it is worth. Trust me, the more research you do on the front side of this project, the better off that you will be.

Don't forget the popcorn. Thanks
