If you really want to save money here's a good popcorn tip. Buy bulk kernels. Heat 3 T. oil in a heavy pan with a domed lid. Heat oil until a kernel pops. Pour 1/3 cup popcorn or enough the pan one kernel deep. Shake until popping stops. Pour in a bowl and season. Do not use crock spread as they have to much water content. Use only oleo or butter.
