I will not buy anything at the big theaters like Lowes or any like that. It is a blatant, major rip-off because they think that people can’t go for two hours without stuffing their face (In some cases, they are correct) they can shamelessly gouge them. I don’t have any problem bringing my own food in those.

My local theater actually sells reasonable drinks and popcorn (family run) so I will purchase from them. I think they have a $3.50 package for popcorn and a soda. Still expensive, but not seven or eight dollars, either. I won’t bring food in there, because I will support them. Of course, it is nearly a year since I went there.

Movie Tickets Reach the $20 Mark (Anyone still going to the movies?)

First run movies at the theater near me in Chicago are around $7.00 in the evening and about $5 before 6PM. If I want to go to the first show of the day, it's $5.50 at Cinemark in Evanston.

Yep, stop on the way and pick up some candy elsewhere.
Bring in your own water bottle.
