The cost is sooo ridiculous. I always sneak water and treats in my bag, though. A bottle of water is four dollars there! Yikes! We do a lot of Red Box rentals. Used to do Netflix but didn't watch it enough and the movies would just sit and sit sometimes.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462124067637610359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108519226249786196.post-84600875251561056822010-02-01T16:05:33.435-06:002010-02-01T16:05:33.435-06:00We don't go to the movies much anymore.

Usually we rent from redbox or netflix if there's something we want to see, but there's not much out anymore that floats my boat! As far as snacks, sometimes we sneak in our own, usually we just cough up and split a large popcorn and each get a small drink. The prices really are obscene!

Ours does not. And at the beginning of this rule, they even checked to see what was in 'bags.' Not so much now, on checking I guess. But I'd not know, because we go rarely and when we do, I bring my water bottle and what easily fits in my regular bag.<br /><br />See, a theater makes the most of its money, on the concession stand. And so, they don't like losing that money. And like I said, here....... They "forbid" it. :-)<br /><br />Happy February!<br />.♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.♥.Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108519226249786196.post-78627335352492336012010-02-01T10:11:54.048-06:002010-02-01T10:11:54.048-06:00We were just talking about this over the weekend. ...We were just talking about this over the weekend. There's an old movie theatre in Daingerfield, TX, where you can get everything for under $6.00 a person - movie, bucket popcorn, large Coke. Great place for a cheap date!<br />But I have sneaked in my own snacks to the bigger cinemas. Can't justify the ticket price AND the price of snacks, especially for a movie that's mediocre. We still rent a lot of movies, and use NETFLIX.

Depends on theatre - most are R20(SA Rands) and then the art/classic movies are R48 (SA Rands). Avatar - the new 3D movie is R65 (SA Rands). <br />To convert you have to multiply by the rand/dollar rate. Don't know what it is at the moment, but it's usually around 10:1 (10 Rand to 1 dollar) ..... that's why it's so expensive for us to travel overseas!!!!!!!Avrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758185096572879337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108519226249786196.post-89344082315919742832010-02-01T06:47:39.687-06:002010-02-01T06:47:39.687-06:00Can't remember the last movie we went to see -...Can't remember the last movie we went to see - haven't been for years!!!! Heard it is expensive to buy snacks there - but I don't think they allow you to take stuff from elsewhere in, so they make you buy - or you go without. Movie tickets are expensive here too. Will find out online and compare! Although need to convert into American dollars ..Avrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758185096572879337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108519226249786196.post-61390413257654120162010-02-01T05:43:25.447-06:002010-02-01T05:43:25.447-06:00Hi Deb,

Ray and Michael go almost every weekend to see a movie and were shocked a few weeks ago when their snacks came to almost $40.00. They didn't buy anything different than they usually buy, the prices jumped almost 50%. Crazy!Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043798596681607776noreply@blogger.com
