Worth the Price of Admission?
When my wife and I decided to go to the movies for the first time in years, I was absolutely shocked at the exorbitant prices. Not only did it cost $15 to see the movie itself, but the concessions people could have been accused of grand larceny. As much as I love an enormous tub of popcorn, I was put off by the ridiculous price and the artificial butter product that they drizzle over the top.
We found our solution a week later, when we decided to stay in with a DVD and a bowl of healthy gourmet popcorn. We added light salt and a bit of real butter to draw out the popcorn’s subtle, delicious flavor. And I don’t have to tell you about the many benefits of screening a movie at home. The pause button and easy access to the restroom are easily worth the price of admission – which happens to be free.
