Microwave Popcorn Makes Movie Night Pricier
Kirkland microwave popcorn rose roughly 5%, landing near $20.99. While popcorn still offers convenience, the price gap with national brands has narrowed.
If movie nights are frequent:
- Compare per-bag pricing at discount grocers
- Look for sales on national brands
- Consider stovetop popcorn as a low-cost alternative
Small entertainment expenses add up quickly when inflation squeezes discretionary income.
