Movie Theatre Popped Corn.
That not only got expensive AF, but about half my local theaters stopped popping it. It comes stale in a large bag and they put it in their bin and salt/butter it. it’s horrible.
We considered going to the movies for The Odyssey until we realized it would be over $75 for the three of us (husband/wife/kid). I think I’ve been prived out of the movies, the last one I saw in theater was Uncle Drew.
Theaters cost over 100€ for the four of us… Am not Paying 15€ for a bag of candy. Its so stupid. And then you have people on their phones during the screening.
We bought a decent TV 3weeks before the latest model dropped in store, meaning we saved 40% of the price tag. Homemade popcorn is practically free, you can pause the movie anytime to go take a piss. I don’t see myself going back.
Side note: we have been doing the seasonal store discounts whenever we need stuff. Outdoor furniture 50-70% off, etc. Its the IRL equivalent of the Steam Summer sales :D. We bookmark stuff and wait.
It has heart-clogging butter anyway. Air-pop your own at home and then slather olive oil, salt, and any spices you like over it! It’s so much cheaper and better in every way.
