1.Use a straw to evenly butter your popcorn.

If you put butter on your popcorn, you know the struggle of only getting it on top, and then once you get to the middle, your popcorn is dry. Instead, put a straw in your popcorn and pour the butter down it to make sure the butter is evenly distributed.

2. Join the AMC Stubs program.

Our local movie theater, AMC, has a rewards programs that gives you tons of benefits. Some of these benefits include free popcorn, discounted tickets, and $5 tickets on Tuesdays.

3. Use the RunPee app to figure out when you can go pee during a long movie.

Everybody has to deal with the problem of having to go to the bathroom as soon as the movie gets interesting. By using this app, it will tell you when the perfect time to go the bathroom is so that you don’t miss a second of the action.

4. If you’re not a fan of the trailers, plan to get there about 13 minutes late.

This is usually around how long the trailers last, so plan on getting there a little bit later than usual.

5. Sit towards the back to get the best sound quality.

Two-thirds of the way back in the center of the row is the perfect spot for perfect sound. Even though you’re a bit farther from the screen, you’ll be able to hear everything crystal clear.

6. Use special sites like groupon for discounts with coupons.

Everybody knows how expensive the movies can be, so try checking different websites for discounts. You can also use a student I.D. for a discount on your ticket.

7. Grab your snacks before.

The pricey part of going to the movies is having to stop at the concessions stand. Instead, stop at a Dollar General or Kroger to buy your candy. Most of the candy will only be $1-$2. Just stick them in your purse or pockets and then you only have to worry about buying drinks, and most rewards programs off free drinks, you don’t even have to worry about that either.
