    I go to the cinema every month or so but never ever part cash to buy sweets, popcorn, drinks etc - it's such a rip off and where they make their money. You can do without it - it's only a couple of hours!


    yes you can do without it but a trip to the cinema is after all a treat and if you treating your kids why not give them some sweets and a drink.. like most on here ive been bitten once and once only.. i take in my own stuff and sometimes treat my daughter to a mcdonalds happy meal on the way home.. £1.99
