Everyone Loves Free Popcorn!

So you're headed for the movies to relieve some burdens and relax.

But then you get there and recall that this "relaxation" is worth a whopping 12 bucks a ticket! Are you glad you won't be burdened with carrying around your money anymore?!

WOW, you're reminded harshly everytime you go to the theaters just how high prices for everything has risen lately.

Are you able to resist the tempation to pull out another $4 for a small popcorn?


How about some help? Here's a printable coupon (READ: one for everyone in your group!) for a Free bag of popcorn with purchase of a soda.


Hey, it's better than nothing (actually, it's worth a couple of bucks!)

The Perfect Care Package

There's always one way to make sure the ones you love know that you love & support them...through their stomach!

And a care package is the best way to show that love when they're going through any period of trial and challenge -- like end of school exams. The perfect study care package for your college student or grad school student in the family.

The Popcorn Factory has long been one of my favorite places to order gifts from since popcorn and the other yummy treats they send are always welcomed universally.

From the novel excitement of when the UPS man rings the doorbell to opening the tin full of super-yummy treats that they'd never buy for themselves, and the inevitable envy of all surrounding the recipient when they open the package, The Popcorn Factory is a sure bet to put a smile on someone's face -- when they need it the most cramming for their finals and writing that paper, or even co-workers that are gearing up for that super-duper career changing client pitch or asignment.

Wow, Dale & Thomas Popcorn is Sweet!

Dale and Thomas PopcornThey just opened up a Dale & Thomas Popcorn retail store near our home and boy is that one gourmet place. They take the popcorn that I know (good old Reddenbacher microwave popcorn) and take it to another level.

Previously, I used to use The Popcorn Factory (use promo coded MOM5 for $5 off) for sending gifts to others, but I may just have to switch to Dale & Thomas. Perhaps the opening is a sign that we should indulge for a Mother's Day gift! Healthy (semi...or at least the perception is), better then plain old chocolate, and they even have chocolate drizzled popcorn!


Dale and Thomas PopcornIt is interesting that the Dale & Thomas website offers a slightly different menu of options and has a lot more gift packages. I do remember receiving a Dale & Thomas popcorn tin as a gift, and their packaging and presentation is excellent.

Who would have thought you can open a store that sells nothing but popcorn and succeed? The local D&T popcorn store was holding a grand opening promotion last time I was there...a whole bag for $4.
