Just don't buy concessions then. The tickets you can get cheaper if you go for matinee pricing or all day first showing/matinee pricing days.

It's difficult to not give the kids the entire movie experience. What I did learn to do was to buy large soda and popcorn. Refills are free, and they give courtesy small cups and bags.

No, but if a movie is really bad, I'll usually stay and watch it a second time just to get my money's worth. A really terrible film, I might have to stay and see 3 times, but damn - it needs to be downright awful before I'll do that.

If it was really bad I might just get confused and go back into the wrong theater when returning from the restroom.

If you have an AMC, get Stubs for $12 a yearand get larges for medium prices. Then for every $100 spent on tickets and concessions, you get a $10 credit. That saves a little but of money. Some have loyalty buckets that each refill per day is anywhere from $1-4.

Its wrong, and no never done it. Usually theres not more then one movie playing at a time I want to see anyways. My ticket always costs $5, which is pretty fair IMO.
