Sometimes I carry in a Starbucks coffee to sip. They last throughout the movie and my theatre doesn’t offer hot beverages, nor stop me at the door. If it’s hot, I buy a Slurpee there….
When I want to be economical, I will buy the kid’s meal. Usually under $5, it’s the perfect serving size of popcorn and a few skittles or M&Ms, just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth. If there’s a little toy or stuffed animal on the tray, my puppy gets a toy when I get home as a reward for being mercilessly left at home.
If I have just had a meal or on the way to dinner, I’ll simply enjoy some chewing gum. Just be quiet (shh) with the wrapper (no bubbles!).
