Do you buy snacks and drinks from the cinema?

Crazy amount of money they cost, do you buy them or smuggle your own in? It's only fair if they don't have what you want in variety surely?

It's next to an ASDA so you see many with ASDA carrier bags in the queues.
We have Cineworld here locally so often you feel obligated to purchase snacks from the foyer because they are in your face and sometimes guilt goes through you. Plus I don't think they'd allow snacks from home or the local shop unlike Vue.
It's all fun fun fun with you two
I agree
In the bloated, expensive Vue, I discretely take my own. They charge too much for everything.
Doesn't seem to be problem taking your own snacks into my local Cineworld....unfortunately. I've even smelt hot food in their on a couple of occasions:o
Exactly the same in doncaster - pointless stopping people with all their Asda bags. They'd put them down and still not buy anything
But I never moan about the cost.
If someone doesn't go to the cinema all that often and feels they need food as part of the "experience" then fair enough, have at it.
As I said, I go to the cinema to watch a film. If I want to eat out, i'll go to a cafe.
Eat out? I don't call some popcorn and pop and perhaps some starburst 'eating out' exactly.
I usually take a chocolate bar in my handbag and a small bottle of water/juice.
A guy once tried to take a smelly pizza into one of the screens and when he wasn't allowed in, he kept having a go at staff. What did he expect? The plonker.
If you did that, the cinema would close. 75% of the profits they make come from food and drink.
No, it annoys me when people make a lot of noise at the cinema. I try to eat quietly!
Never been searched/stopped once (Showcase Cinemas)
I'm not really bothered about money being honest
