    Do you take(sneak) food into the movies?

    I always do, I dont pay though ridiculous prices. I can buy the same candy for a $1 a box at the store and bring a water bottle.I use to put popcorn in a baggie when the kids were smaller...

    I'll sometimes buy popcorn there, but always take my own bottled water.

    When I go to the Drive In (yes, we still have one! ) I take my own popcorn and drinks.

    When I go with my friend, she prints off a coupon for popcorn and pop at a really good price. But, even so, I buy may buy movie popcorn because for me, there's nothing like it. If I'm in the mood for candy that night, then I buy it elsewhere. I just cannot see paying that exorbitant price for candy!!

    I always bring paper lunch bags with me, so we don't have to share the tub of popcorn. I let my son bring a sweet treat if we have something in the house. We rarely do go to the movies due to the cost.

    What is funny is that we have a small mall near here, with a budget movie theater. The mall also has a Dollar Tree. And right in front of Dollar Tree, they have a stand that has a sign that says "movie theater candy" and it is the boxes that are the same you would get at the theater!
    We had us, we had him, now we have everything.

    I buy popcorn and pop there but buy candy to take in. I love the taste of the popcorn and only get it once or twice a year. If I don't go and my kids do they buy the refillabe tub and bring it home to me.

    We still have one too! And we always bring our own stuff.. I refuse to pay ridiculous prices for that stuff

    I'd rather the drive in than a regular movie theater tbh.. I can't sit in a movie theater for long. I can't handle it with my restless everything syndrome and if I want to talk to whoever is next to me with out feeling like an ahole I can lol

    what makes everyone feel that they are "sneaking" food into the the theaters? After all, it is a free country isn't it?
