Snacking on Homemade Popcorn and Reaping the Savings

Picture
​I recently sourced a bulk buy of popcorn kernels. I was tired of spending $10-$20 per week on crackers and snack foods for the kids' lunch boxes. I paid $27 for a 15kg sack of kernels from a popcorn supply place. I have divided it up into 1kg lots and stored them in the back of the pantry. I estimate it will take at least 6 months to get through the popcorn but am counting the savings BIG time. Making our own takes no time at all and I can control the amount of butter and salt and the kids love it. Now our only snacks are popcorn and fruit.

Editor's note: I buy popcorn kernels in bulk too. We have a hot air corn popper that sits on the bench and it gets used regularly to make popcorn. Then that popcorn is flavoured or used to make caramel corn or MOO Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs. Cath
