Drives me crazy. Whatever, I make him share with me. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376913 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:57:28 +0000 alayaya 376913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm addicted to movie theater popcorn. I will go to a movie I'm only mildly interested in just so I can get popcorn.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376861 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:17:05 +0000 Mrs. J 376861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely, mostly because we're cheap and DH doesn't like popcorn very much (which totally boggled my mind when he caved and bought triple chocolate popcorn from our little Cub Scout neighbor). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376805 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 17:07:39 +0000 Springtime 376805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

The movie theater concessions are way too expensive. Plus, I hate the noise of people eating during movies! It drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376726 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:11:07 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 376726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went with a big group last night and those of us with purses brought in the drinks we got at the dollar store and the guys had to not make weird noises with their candy. I'm not paying $12 for a drink and some popcorn when I can get the drink for $1 and a bag of peanut M&amp;M's for $1. </p> <p>Sometimes we'll cave and buy popcorn, but not if we've just eaten out prior to going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376723 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 15:08:01 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 376723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love movie popcorn!! that's half of why I go to the movies :) but I never buy candy or drinks... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376710 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:45:55 +0000 mrsjyw 376710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we usually bring water... but popcorn/candy/frozen pop is a must :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376708 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 14:45:20 +0000 Meridian 376708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I thought it was pretty good, not predictable! At least not for me, haha. And refilable popcorn bucket? I've never heard of such a thing here in Chicago, but I would be all over that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376671 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 13:51:21 +0000 MrsH 376671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Was Looper good?</p> <p>We buy a refillable bucket for popcorn that is useable for 3-4 months (two times per day). I think it is like 25 bucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376648 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 13:34:12 +0000 shopaholic 376648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hardly go to the movies anymore so when we do, we do buy concessions. Usually a popcorn &amp; drink combo to share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376617 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 12:55:40 +0000 cyndistar3 376617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a theater here that has a package deal that includes 2 tickets, 2 medium drinks and a large popcorn for $24 so yes every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376550 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:52:21 +0000 prettylizy 376550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get something to drink, if I'm feeling like splurging, I'll get nachos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376543 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:45:37 +0000 lawbee11 376543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a fan of popcorn, but DH always gets popcorn.

The theater by us is pretty reasonable, though...two tickets+snacks is usually right under $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376533 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:36:12 +0000 Bao 376533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always bring our own candy and sometimes drinks but the popcorn is irresistible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376532 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 11:35:05 +0000 pinkcupcake 376532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually sneak in healthy treats and water :) try really hard to avoid the popcorn even though the delicious smell drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376483 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 10:44:04 +0000 Turd Ferguson 376483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, we haven't gone to a movie in so long... I usually sneak in chocolate/candy/pop, but always buy a popcorn (insisting that they butter and salt it halfway through before filling it the rest of the way...).

We like to go on the first showing of the day and get $5 tickets. We also love to go to the theater where you can buy dinner and drinks during the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376368 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 08:49:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 376368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always buy a mlarge popcorn and drink to split, sometimes we splurge for candy as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376365 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 08:47:39 +0000 PurplePumps 376365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, I'm just way too cheap to spend like 6 bucks on something I can get for a dollar at the super market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376320 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 07:48:33 +0000 rawrasaur 376320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: There are two major theaters in the area and both have the same low prices. We don't have any "dollar theaters" with old movies in the area.</p> <p>I actually just checked online because we don't go often- it is $4 before 6pm and $6.50 after - but they have student ticket prices and while I'm not a student anymore I still have my id and can get it. I'm not sure how much off it is because they don't put it online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376289 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 07:22:18 +0000 anonysquire 376289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm the fattie here. Our movie theater has several food places so we eat dinner during the movie then I usually want popcorn and a soda. I love movie theater popcorn and usually bring the rest home for the cats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376270 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 06:27:34 +0000 mrs. bird 376270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: wow! Our tickets are $11+! We have a second run theater that plays older movies on smaller screens that's less, but you can watch most of the movies on DVD by the time they get to that theater. </p> <p>I like to get a pretzel, overpriced but delicious! We bring drinks in my purse : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376268 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 06:23:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 376268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as artbee. We don't go to movies often so when we do we are go all out and buy popcorn and a diet coke. How the heck do you smell at that delicious popcorn and not buy some? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376264 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 06:14:05 +0000 MediaNaranja 376264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will usually skip snacks. Occasionally I will sneak something in my purse. I always carry water though, so I at least have that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376243 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 05:25:22 +0000 CarrieLouWho 376243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get popcorn and a drink. I've never liked candy at the movie... That's easier to sneak in than popcorn :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376238 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 05:11:12 +0000 rawrasaur 376238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I live, going to the movies even in the evenings is only $4 a ticket. I have no problem buying some popcorn and a drink when the movie is so inexpensive, but we don't always. Now when we are talking $8+ a ticket elsewhere, I am far less inclined to. We really don't go to the movies that much though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-buy-concessions-at-the-movie-theater#post-376233 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 05:00:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 376233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our theater is next to target, so we grab candy, snacks &amp; drinks on our way and sneak it in! So much cheaper! It's $1 at target for a box of candy that costs $4 at the theater. A regular sized bottle of Dasani is $3.75, you can get a whole case for around that! Such a rip off </p>
