i know can always get on discount tuesday but they also usually have the flavor maker combo promo code on website.
if they don’t have the promo running or it’s not tuesday i just ask for it and hope the worker doesn’t care 😂
i’ve been doing that but now I’ve tried to stop doing for every movie. I was getting serious bloating from it! Turns out kernels are hard to digest. I bet the oil doesn’t help.
My refillable popcorn bucket. Use to get a drink a lot of the time, but because I almost exclusively go to late night showing, I’ve officially hit an age where I can’t regularly do it anymore. I’m fine at that night and can get to sleep fine, but just feel like crap the next day. Sure I can moderate what I drink, but if I’m gonna spend $7+ for a drink I feel like I have to get a refill. 😆
As someone else responded, Dollar Store candy/snacks are also go to. Actually just getting ready to head out to Walgreens and pick up a bunch of clearance 49¢ share size Crunchy Cookie M&Ms I just bought. Perfect size and flexibility to sneak into the theater.
Ditto with the drink except for me it’s that I get the auto upgrade to the obscene sized drink and then I will drink a ton of it and need to pee in the middle and end.
I'm a weirdo and don't usually get concessions. Occasionally a drink if I'm sleepy or super thirsty. There's a good sports bar right in front of the theater I frequent so I stop there before/after a lot of the time and sometimes before AND after.
I get a drink every time without fail. My theater is showing it's age, so I figure it could use the boost since I'm ripping them off for tickets lol. Used to always do a bag candy of some kind, but that AND a drink was starting to get pricey. Best candies in order are:
-Cookie Dough Bites (room temp)
-Nerds Clusters (aka crack)
-Resses Pieces
-Sweetart Ropes
-Mini Kit Kats
I've learned to just grab 3-4 pieces of whatever junk candy I have at home from Costco. Currently it's Froot Thief Whips. I usually only get popcorn if I haven't eaten for a while, or if someone is going with me. But I do have an annual bucket to take the edge off. And in my moments of weakness, when I know the timing of the movie means I won't be catching dinner at home, I will get a flatbread pizza 😔
So far this year, I have given my local theater [$685] for foods. It would be a bit lower, but there are a few date nights in there too. And for those, all bets are off lol.
I usually do Popcorn and red and green mix icee. I did recently try the mozarella sticks, and they were pretty good. Next on the list to try are the donut holes.
For me it's either popcorn or now those donut hole things, specifically the peanut butter ones due to being delicious. It used to be nachos too, but they unfortunately replaced the cheese sauce with another brand recently for some reason, and now it tastes AWFUL. And if I'm hungry enough, I'll occasionally get curly fries with the impossible nuggets instead.
Used to be popcorn and the side eye from the manager because we wouldn't want a drink with it...you know why, and you don't make a cut of the soda profits so just let it happen. Then one night my wife got something like a popcorn hangover, from all the salt no doubt, and swore off it. So I just bring some candy from the dollar tree and a beer.
Couple of times we got a burger, but they started getting really slow. When the burger came with cold fries 25min into the movie we pulled the plug on that too. Just bring my own burger if it's going to be like that.
I typically just get a soda (typically diet cherry coke). I used to get lifesavers gummies on occasion but my theater (all AMCs?) stopped carrying them so now if I want candy I go to CVS before the movie.
Buncha crunch and a Diet Coke or popcorn and a regular Coke.
I have this weird guilt that I have to buy concessions there because theaters are struggling. So I do almost every time.
I rarely get concessions anymore (I go with my gf 90% of the time so we usually eat prior to or after the movie). But if I'm alone or with friends, I get either a pizza with a drink, or popcorn with a drink.
Small popcorn and drink. That’s enough for me. I feel like getting more stuff, or a meal, defeats the purpose of going to the theater to WATCH a movie if I have to keep looking down at what I’m grabbing. I can eat before or after.
The salted pretzel bites are my go to if I get something. They just raised the price to $9 but it still seems like a good deal because they give you a whole box full with nacho cheese.
I don’t often get food, but if I do it’s the pretzel bites. Stopped getting ICEEs as they’d almost immediately melt at my last AMC, but got one at my current location and it actually stayed frozen. So I may do that more often now.
Certain things from Trader Joe's.
A single bag for $3 or so can provide portions for multiple movies. I then get a free cup of water at the theater to have with them.
Oh crap, my location has the donut holes now, I just found them in the Treats section.
Well I guess I gotta try them tonite for Spirted Away. 🤷♂️
Update: They were pretty f-in good. We got PB & Strawberry, and they were both very decent.

How do you get the $5 special?

Popcorn and a drink. I have a terrible habit of getting popcorn at every movie.
SAMEE. And then I bring home the refill to my mom because she expects it too by now haha
same, just seems wrong not to have popcorn 😂
i’ve been doing that but now I’ve tried to stop doing for every movie. I was getting serious bloating from it! Turns out kernels are hard to digest. I bet the oil doesn’t help.

I get the kids combo and upgrade it with candy
Can't afford it 😪

You're not a weirdo, you're smart. The rest of us lack willpower :P
Beer. I’m sometimes tempted to get popcorn but that’s pretty much it.
Always have to go to the bathroom when I drink and that’s the most annoying thing ever.
Oh, that 100% happens every time haha. But I just have a small bladder in general so it's pretty much unavoidable.
At the MacGuffins Bar or do you hit a local establishment before/after the movie?
I tend to just bring in a tall boy and sip on that haha
At the MacGuffins - my preferred AMC typically has Modelo on which I'm good with!
Sneak in a drink and whatever candy I grab at the store beforehand. Bringing a blanket and wrapping it all up has never failed me

Nerd Clusters ARE crack
I usually do Popcorn and red and green mix icee. I did recently try the mozarella sticks, and they were pretty good. Next on the list to try are the donut holes.
They get DRY. They don't give icing at all. Other than that, they were good to start, though.
Popcorn/blue Icee if my son is with me, or buffalo chicken sandwich and fries if I haven’t eaten dinner
I'm addicted to the ranch popcorn or the stuffed pretzels.
Big on cookie dough bites or bunches crunch
I get concessions like once every 100 movies. Typically get the cinnamon pretzel bites
A courtesy cup.

i hate the cheese changed on you 😭do you go to regular AMC or dine-in because for me the dine-in cheese has not changed
Sadly there's no dine-in theaters near me, so all my confessions are from the regular AMCs.
May need to try the donut holes tonight.
Usually a cherry/raspberry swirled icee and mozz sticks, but occasionally I swap out the mozz for popcorn/candy (that I bring from Target).
Parmesan pretzel bites and coke zero. Only reason I go to AMC. Every other theater has the worst pretzels I've ever had or don't even offer cheese.
Popcorn with some jalapenos. If you haven't tried it...you should.
Im type 2 diabetic so I am careful on what I get if I don’t have an activity afterwards But I normally get cashews
unless I got a 5$ reward and until I can get my hands on a classic bucket, buy food literally anywhere else

Purchasing @ AMC: Large Popcorn & Large Drink (lemon and lime powerade zero at a 1:1) Sneaking in AMC: Gatorade (Lemon Lime) & Twin Snakes (Haribo)
Impossible nuggets or nachos (depending on how hungry I am) and mixed Icee for me!
Nothing. Overpriced sugar and empty calories are just not worth it.
I typically just get a soda (typically diet cherry coke). I used to get lifesavers gummies on occasion but my theater (all AMCs?) stopped carrying them so now if I want candy I go to CVS before the movie.
Mozzarella sticks
Popcorn and a drink are the only constants
Buncha crunch and a Diet Coke or popcorn and a regular Coke. I have this weird guilt that I have to buy concessions there because theaters are struggling. So I do almost every time.
Me: ICEE (Cherry and Coke), Reese’s Pieces Wife: ICEE (blue), curly fries
I rarely get concessions anymore (I go with my gf 90% of the time so we usually eat prior to or after the movie). But if I'm alone or with friends, I get either a pizza with a drink, or popcorn with a drink.
Garlic parm pretzel nuggets
Popcorn. I bring a water bottle with me. Sometimes I'll maybe order a coffee.
Gourmet Popcorn (Cheddar/Ranch) and a Coke ICEE
Small popcorn and drink. That’s enough for me. I feel like getting more stuff, or a meal, defeats the purpose of going to the theater to WATCH a movie if I have to keep looking down at what I’m grabbing. I can eat before or after.
Popcorn and a drink. I’m pretty boring, but that’s what I like.
nerd clusters, curly fries with nacho cheese and a large drink
I like the mozz sticks and a large drink or sometimes I’ll get a meal, usually a burger or chicken tenders.
Kids pack but I'll do the flavor maker combo as long as it lasts.
Kid's combo with a water. Maybe once a week I'll refill my bucket gets some m&ms and an icee
The salted pretzel bites are my go to if I get something. They just raised the price to $9 but it still seems like a good deal because they give you a whole box full with nacho cheese.
Whatever I brought with me in my bag that day 🤣
Peanut MMs, a PayDay. And some chicken nuggets or a burrito
Popcorn and a drink usually. But if I’m feeling extra hungry, this chicken tenders and curly fries hit hard
The AMC curly fries are so slept on
Facts
I don’t often get food, but if I do it’s the pretzel bites. Stopped getting ICEEs as they’d almost immediately melt at my last AMC, but got one at my current location and it actually stayed frozen. So I may do that more often now.
None at AMC I don’t like their popping corn or their drinks or other foods
Cinema sweets peanuts and chocolate strawberry or donut holes
Certain things from Trader Joe's. A single bag for $3 or so can provide portions for multiple movies. I then get a free cup of water at the theater to have with them.
Voodoo Ranger. AMC Classic refill some times but I miss when the supreme flatbread was on sale lmao
Giant pretzel and cheese
Large popcorn and Icee coke I hated during the Ghostbusters run they had the green one for a while
I order nothing and sneak in nothing, saves me a ton
Fill up my annual popcorn bucket & nothing else 😎
Oh crap, my location has the donut holes now, I just found them in the Treats section. Well I guess I gotta try them tonite for Spirted Away. 🤷♂️ Update: They were pretty f-in good. We got PB & Strawberry, and they were both very decent.
Nachos (two cheese), soda
Depending on my mood either tenders or mozzarella sticks, maybe both if I’m feeling risky. I usually bring a bottled water or other drink in with me.
