My husband and I went to the movies tonight and the girl gave us the senior discount and we did not ask for it !!! I'm thinkin hey...... do we really look that old ? ... oh well got a $5 discount toward popcorn.
Ugh I hear ya! My husband has been on a 10% pay cut for over 7 months now.
Besides I read in an article that movie theatre popcorn topped a list as one of the most marked up consumer products out there. Bottled water, cafe coffee, and wine ordered at restaurants were also on the list.
As much as I love to go to the movies I get pretty frustrated paying more for popcorn than for the movie tickets.
Janie - We don't buy food stuffs at the movies anymore! We stopped doing that years ago for that very reason! The popcorn bag sizes got 50% smaller and the price went up 200% Really! We still get wine at the restaurant when we go out for a nice dinner, but that's rare for us - especially now!
