What movie theater would be complete without a snack bar. Just like a home theater, this too can be affordable. It could be a snack center in your kitchen.

As always, start with the budget. Then look at the equipment you have. Now, think about your favorite snacks and your lifestyle.

Popcorn and pizza are the usual favorites. There are things to consider with each. Do you prefer microwave popcorn? Do you order pizza or grab take-and-bakes?

Don't forget the drinks. A dorm fridge or wine cooler are great options for cans and bottles. Single serve drink powders are more convenient than pitchers.

Looking for something more healthy? Then you can always add a smoothie maker or juicer. Both will fit nicely on a microwave cart or on a baking center.
