I can't believe the costs of attending a movie at local theater. We took my niece and a friend to weekend matinee -- CHILD's matinee ticket was $5.50, plus $8.00 for minimum standard snacks (SMALL popcorn $4.25 and SMALL drink $3.75), for a grand total for two kids of $27.00!!!!! Add in our adult tickets and NO snacks, we spent $41.00 for an hour and a half PG animated "family movie" outing. How do they expect families to do this?
So, I must return to my boycott of movie theaters, and wish that others would, too. If we all stopped going, perhaps they would drop prices to lure us all back in. But as long as people pay these going rates, they will charge what the market will bear.
And by the way, everyone I saw (even me) paid by credit/debit card, and it was shocking to me to see so many kids (I mean really young pups) handling a card of their own. Wonder how parents can possibly manage all this!!
