BYO Popcorn

Save! Potentially $8 per movie trip. That's a savings of $96 a year assuming 1 movie a month for an average moviegoer.

The long and the short of it

BYO popcorn!

-------------------------

Popcorn prices are just ridiculous. It's mark up is probably... oh... about 1000000%. 

Seriously! Have you ever checked out how much one packet of dry unpopped corn kernels cost? Even the super bloody atas brand kind in atas supermarket cost only $5.80 for a box of 4 servings!

If you pop the corn yourself from scratch then the mark up just becomes ridiculous.

So if you have a microwave, learn how to pop your own corn and BYO. You have a bag right? Use it. Be a ninja!!!!!

(You don't even need a freaking microwave to pop corn but ok lah not as convenient.)

Movie prices that are so 1990s

Save! Potentially $5 per movie ticket. That's a savings of $60 a year assuming 1 movie a month for an average moviegoer. But... if you're a movie nut like me, this works out to massive savings.

Sign up for the GV Mr Popcorn card and watch movies on Tuesdays!

-------------------------

If you've lived in Singapore since the 1990s, you'll be like me and lament that movie ticket prices are going through the roof. I still remember the good old days when you could get a movie at $4 (this was at the then new Yishun GV cineplex). Those days are now long gone (as with $1 chicken rice).

However, GV has an offer out there that only a few people know of, that is the $6.50 Movie Tuesday offer for GV Movie Club members. 

Here's the most important part of the T&C for the GV membership:

13. How do I enjoy my members' price of $6.50 movie tickets every Tuesday?
Simply log in to purchase your tickets online or at any GV Box Office. Members' priced tickets cannot be issued from telephone bookings and AXS Stations as those channels are not able to identify you as a member beforehand.
Member's price applies to all regular films and is not valid on "eve of" and "day" of Public Holiday. Please note that members' price cannot be enjoyed in conjunction with any other promotions or discounts.

You just need to sign up, which is, of course FREE! (Otherwise why would I recommend it right...) 

Sign up here. Get the card and start watching movies on Tuesdays!

$6.50 for a movie ticket! *Giggles like a kid high on smack*

Now... to scheme on how to smuggle in home made popcorn...
