      You can skip the snacks. They aren’t required.
      Your total could have been $53.04.
      And you might have been able to skip the convenience fee if you got the tix at the theater directly. Some times they still have an extra fee.

        Or you can stay home and have all the snacks you could want. How much amc stocks have you “invested” to be shilling for them so hard?

          No idea. Wherever is part of my index mutual fund.

          It’s just wrong when people complain about the cost, and roll in all the optional snacks and stuff as though they just automatically have to buy them. It’s easily possible to spend half as much or less. Nobody to blame but yourself if you choose to buy all the extras.
