    We've not been to the cinema lately, but when we did last it was one freebie through the healthcare plan plus a concessions ticket (much to OH's disgust) - we each had a water bottle and a hot flask and stopped at the supermarket for a bag of cheap popcorn that went in my shoulder bag. It was still 12 pounds between the two of us which in our world is a 2x a year splurge!

    I remember toonie Tuesdays fondly from my teenage years! 2 dollars for chicken and chips from kfc and 2 for the movie. Summer holidays were bliss! Though I'm sure back then my Mom recoiled in horror at the cost!
