I've recently been enjoying sneaking into a second movie when I got to the multiplex. But Blade Runner is already almost three hours long, so I don't think I'll do that today.

I don't get butter on the popcorn and I choose Swedish Fish or Sour Patch Kids for my candy. I walk to the cinema instead of riding a horse

I hope you're toning down your extreme cheapness when you're with your new partner. It is not an attractive qualityThe Argonaut wrote:I sneak candy in from a nearby pharmacy. I'm cheap AF

We sneaked candy into the theatre on our second date. If you're NOTsneaking candy into the movie theatre, I don't even want to know you

I always buy food and drinks from the concession stand if I'm at a small local place, but in a multiplex I'll bring in my own candy and beer.
