Anyone else notice how costly a trip to the movies can be? Aside from the price of the ticket, the concession stand inside the theater is exorbitantly expensive. A small box of popcorn with a thirst-quencher will often run you as much as the ticket itself. Candy bars have massive markups, and you\u2019d think the water was bottled at the North Pole with a price tag like that. <\/p>\n

So how can you make your movie-going experience a bit friendlier on your wallet? <\/p>\n

Well for starters, go to the matin\u00e9e showing: the first movie of the day is substantially cheaper (8,000 LL) than a normal s\u00e9ance (12,000 LL). Second (and don\u2019t pretend you’ve never done this before!), smuggle in your own party mix in that oversized sack of yours. Who\u2019s to say you weren’t conveniently grocery shopping just before the movie? <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re visiting CinemaCity at City Mall<\/a>, hit the aisles of the TSC Mega Supermarket and stock up on candy, chocolate, chips, pretzels, bite-size carrots, and more. We prefer the Lebanese gourmet nut mix from the Al Rifai counter, where you can custom create your own grab bag with everything from flavored coated peanuts to premium cheese-dusted cashews. <\/p>\n

ABC Dbayeh\u2019s<\/a> got the small but handsomely equipped Black Pepper<\/a>, which is a foodie\u2019s heaven. We adore their bold Chex Mix, which you can scoop up by the gram. <\/p>\n

Beirut Souks\u2019 Cinema City<\/a> is just a few steps from TSC Signature<\/a>, and Grand Concorde<\/a> in Verdun is nestled just below TSC. Planning a night at VOX in Beirut City Centre<\/a>? Your neighborhood Carrefour<\/a> to the rescue!<\/p>\n

So get creative, and get snacking! But be nice, and be prudent: when the movie ends, take your rubbish with you. Wouldn\u2019t want management cluing in on the mischief, would we now?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
