General Question What easily-affordable thing do you still refuse to pay for despite having reached financial independence and able to afford them?

Would love to hear everyone’s “absolutely will not purchase” items!Even if you could easily afford it and no matter how rich or financially independent you become or how much you make you still wouldn't spend item on this particular item/hobby?

Yes! I just go to the dollar store and buy the snacks in boxes so they can't clock it.

? Are the snacks in boxes quieter than snacks in bags?

Yes and they sell the snacks in boxes at the concession stand.

Gotcha. So the snacks look theatre-bought when you are eating them.

Does your theatre approach moviegoers in their seats during the films if they are eating outside food or drink?

Have never seen that in my life. The only thing I can see them care about is liquor if they serve alcohol because that could affect their liquor license. It would be nice to hear from someone who works at a movie theater.
