    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.

    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.
