[color=#6d00ff:2a471924fc] I usually sneak in all sorts of junk food like junior mints,redvines raisinettes and my favorite snowcaps. My honey will sneak in See's candy ,gum and a can of soda. What do you guys sneak in?[/color:2a471924fc] :D 8)
My friends and I will try to shove our pockets full of canned drinks and we've even gone as far as to tuck in our shirts for extra baggage space. :wink:
My favorites are raisinettes and heath bites! Mmmm...

[b:4e288175ce][color=blue:4e288175ce]I like to sneak in a drink for everybody. And then those single serving bags of fritos, doritos, cheetos, potato chips. Just stuff to keep the kids happy. And those packs of crackers with the Jalepeno` cheese filling. Yummy!
I always feel guilty, but who can afford $4.00 for a drink, and another $4.00 for popcorn? And those prices are just for the small! :shock: :? [/color:4e288175ce][/b:4e288175ce]

My issue is more about value than Affordability. Buying from the candy bar always leaves me feeling very ripped off. Who wants to pay THAT much???
Movies here in Australia cost a standard $ 14 or $15 / adult.
Although most of the local cinemas have discount vouchers etc so you can usually see a movie for around $8.50

I agree with you Barbie-in_plastic about feeling ripped off when buying candy at the candy bar. :x I never do,those prices are SO outrageous. I buy my candy at the drug store or Target for at least half of what they charge at the concession stand. If I buy popcorn I buy the large size where you can get a free refill. I just keep the bag and use it the next time I am in the theatre.I have actually used the refill bag at least three times. :wink:

It is dear to go to the cinema in the U.K. too.....about £4 for a child/student and £5 for an adult.Coke and sweets/popcorn are a rip off too.£2 for coke and the same for popcorn.We usually take cartons of juice with us and various chewy sweets....either the kids stuff things in their jacket pockets.....or I end up with a huge handbag /purse with me full of all the goodies.We are looking for ward to Harry Potter 2 and LOTR2....!!
