If you’re still wondering what to get one of your family members, have you thought about sending them tasty treats? I always forget what a good gift Popcorn Tins can be until I actually receive one and our entire family can enjoy it.
For more than 30 years The Popcorn Factory has been making their impressive gifts. They have something for every occasion – whether you’re looking for gift tins, towers or baskets – they have you covered. They’re committed to bringing you a fresh product and unique ideas, and this is just what I needed this year. The Popcorn Factory sent me a Snowy Night 7-Flavor Popcorn Tin and my entire family had fun trying out the different flavors. My girls liked having the popcorn around for their dessert.
It’s a 2 gallon tin and the different flavors are individually wrapped so you don’t have to worry about it going stale right away. If you’re like us, you can open a new bag every few days and try it out and have it as a snack for everyone throughout the day. The flavors are Cracked Pepper & Sea Salt, Cinnamon Candy, Peanut Brittle, Cheese, Holiday Kettle Corn, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt, and Drizzled Caramel Corn. I wouldn’t have complained if they sent me an entire tin of Drizzled Caramel Corn!

One question I often get asked is how to make the most of a B1G1 50% off deal at the drugstores.
My short answer? Don’t!
While the three major drugstores fill up pages and pages of ads with Buy One Get One 50% off deals – these really aren’t anything we want to focus our attention on. They are just there to distract you from the things that really are on sale. You’ll notice that I don’t even include them with my matchups unless there is a reward deal or some other promotion to go along with it.
Why is B1G1 50% off NOT a deal?
They’re common. Buy one get one 50% off really works out to 25% off the normal price. Our goal is always to shoot for 40% off and then add on a coupon. If it’s a grocery item, run away even faster. Grocery items tend to be slightly marked up at drugstores so they are even less of a deal at B1G1 50% off.
You can do better. Items that are B1G1 50% off will also go B1G1 or have rewards deals attached to them some time in the near future. I promise. No need to waste your coupons or your money on a not-so-great sale.
Your B1G1 coupons are worth more on other sales. If you have a B1G1 coupon, there is no real point in using it with a B1G1 50% off sale. Let’s say you buy two items and one rings up full price and the second one rings up half price. Most coupons say you’ll get the item of lesser value for free (not the higher priced one). Now you have paid full price for one and gotten the half price one for free. Well, you could have done that without the sale and just used your coupon!

Have you ever played around with the zip code entry on sites like Coupons.com? While there are certainly a ton of coupons to choose from by just typing in your home zip code, but adjusting the zip you can pull up coupons for products that may not be found under yours – for reasons including the fact that those products may be more prominent in other areas.
Below are some new gems I found today while exploring, but there are certainly more to be found in the Database!

In our house we go light on the gifts under the tree and heavy on stockings. It’s a ton of fun to see what I can pack into them and basically pay nothing for! In years past we’ve tackled stocking for the entire family (including extended family) and maybe spent $20 on all of it.
In an effort to help you stuff stockings full of goodies, I’m going to do a round up of some of the top deals each week around town. Here’s this weeks list:
