What kind of otherworldly paradise do you live in where the hot dogs and buns can be purchased in equal numbers like that?

or $16 for the movie! WTF.

The problem is that you have to get your hot dogs from home into the theater, and that's trickier.

I once knew a guy that had two hot dogs for lunch every day. He brought them to work in a Thermos, and when he took them out at lunch, they were still hot. He brought a couple of rolls, squirted on some mustard, and that was his lunch.

So sneak in a few dogs in a Thermos (you could probably use one of those big Stanley tumblers), and a few buns, and some mustard packets, and save yourself some money.

Or just go to Costco and get them for $1.50

$2.50 for both? I am not eating the bottom of the barrell ones. It's like $3 on sale for a semi decent pack of hot dogs, and $2 min for ok buns. The only ones i can think of that are around a dollar are the bar s brand and those ahould not be eaten by anyone. They are terrible.

$8 for a hot dog isn't terrible if it's like a cool fancy "hot dog", like a footlong kielbasa with a seeded bun loaded with neat toppings.

Probably not what they serve at the movie theater though.

TBF, it's a better value than the popcorn or the soda, it's only $300 markup.

Not sure why, but hot dogs to me are theatre food, same as popcorn. It's the only place I have those things. Eight dollars is crazy though.

Convenience.
