Since we've been going to a few movies this past year, what a shock to find what it costs! By the time you get through with purchasing the tickets and a drink and popcorn you're up to $25 - $30 for two people. Then, if you add dinner on top of it, you have an expensive evening out. That is why we don't do it often. Microwave popcorn, a can of diet coke and my recliner are just fine with me. ;-)
