I sneak like everything in, if I want popcorn, i'll buy some smartfood from target and if my bags big enough an actual thing of popcorn. If I want a soda of coffee, dunkin donuts is where im at in the mall, and then of course candy, I get it at the candy store in the mall where they sell it for like any 2 for $1. Like you say, why pay all that money when you can save some sneaking it in.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
