      Just threw two tickets in for a local theater and it’s $38 for two tickets after the $6 convenience fee and taxes.

      $20 for snacks and drinks not including tax

        Get pants with big pockets or a kangaroo pouch hoodie and cut your movie drink/snack expenditure drastically.

          I get a lot of enjoyment from the giant tub of oil drenched popcorn and my wife likes her 1 liter of Diet Coke. At this point it’s just a cost you account for like tipping if you’re going out to eat.

            I guess that’s where we differ, I enjoy the thrill of sneaking stuff in and not paying highway robbery prices for sugar water or candy. Getting the popcorn is legit tho.

              So you’re the guy that smuggled in the All You Can Eat Fajitas from Chili’s into my theater last week.

              You could have at least shared.
