I took my evening class to the movies last night to see a film version of a book they'd been reading. They cracked me up because they all smuggled in soda and snacks.
Not surprisingly, they're all working adults attending college in the evenings.
I've taken "traditional" college students to the movies before, and have never seen a single one smuggle food in.
Coincidence? Or are my adult students already "smarter?"

If you are an adult student, you've made a choice to be educated for whatever the purpose. Some of the education may be covered by tuition reimbursement, some not; whatever the reason, a dollar is a dollar. Go smugglers! We smuggle ALL of the time (seven people x one sugary snack treat = $6.89 ($.83 Mike and Ikes at Aldis, vs. $17.50 (seven x $2.50 for concession snack)

Thats just not something you do in front of less known acquiantances until you get to know them better. Sure, I have had professors who would probably approve but I have had lots more that would equate that with thievery...

We now have a $2 a show for all shows theatre that shows older movies. It is more my "financial style"
However, since our average is 2 movies a year.....usually one with the kids and one without.
