Cinema snacks!!!

Sounds very civilised indeed, Maw ?

I rarely go to the cinema, but yes, it can cost a fortune if you buy snacks at their inflated prices. DH and I or SiL's and I would take our own sweets to share, and maybe buy an ice cream at the interval if we felt flush!

Rather different at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse live streamed “Vanessa” from Glyndebourne last night!
There was a 25 minute interval in which we drank chilled white wine and nibbled macarons.
Very civilised.

When I used to take a few grandkids I used to buy some microwave popcorn and when ‘cooked’ put it in single plastic sealed bags plus a small drink each You have to have a treat at the cinema but not a three course meal

Sitting behind the couple with the bucket of popcorn and (even worse) hot dogs is a nightmare for me! I thoroughly dislike the smell of both 'treats'! Add in the munching and slurping and I just have to move.
One of the reasons cinemas can charge exorbitant prices is because some refuse to allow patrons to bring their own snacks.
Good reasons for me to use my small local cinema instead of the huge out-of-town complexes.

Unfortunately it's the signs of our time now. I think it's ridiculous the money spent on food etc for cinema, not sure how anyone can justify that however it's their money and people just do as they please I suppose. I can think spending my money better ways.

I agree. When i go with my DD to cinema i too am amazed at the amount people purchase to munch on through the film.
We use to only get the lady with the tray selling ice creams back in the day, now you can almost have a starter, main and dessert at the cinema!!! lol.
As you say it must cost a fortune especially when taking children.
