We used to buy the bulk kernels, oil and seasoning locally at a popcorn supply place in Redford. It's certainly the most cost effective option but you cannot beat the convenience of these packs. As a Plus member, I get free shipping and I cannot believe how quick it arrives -literally within 2 days. Granted that might be due to our location in MI with shipment from OH. Nonetheless, given the weight of this item, I doubt you will find a more cost effective option locally or online if you are a plus member with free shipping from the sams.com website.

this taste good but it makes one heck of a mess. it is hard to get into pot because of all the excess pkg. it needs to have more of a gap in between the oil and popcorn so it can be cut apart so it would be easier to put in pot.the taste rates a 5 but the mess rates a 1 so average is about 3. so if you do not mind the clean up i would buy this.

Unfortunately they arrived in repacked boxes, still in the plastic bags, but packages bursted open and oil everything. Three of our boxes were like this. I have a oily , will have to wipe down each packet and try to salvage what I can and will have to puy popcorn oil.

The popcorn campout out well-flavored and most of the kernels popped. Simple to use and appropriately portioned. To make it truly "movie" popcorn, you would have to melt some extra butter and layer it in a bucket, but this is a close second right out of the pot!

I love, love, love the popcorn! Except for 2 things : 1. One of the boxes had one of the bags that leaked. There is oil ALL over everything. I didn't have to throw any of it out but it makes a greasy mess all over me and my kitchen even when I wash it in the dish pan. 2. This one doesn't reflect the product, it reflects me not reading the info on the product thoroughly. I have a Twirley Popcorn maker and I thought 1 bag=1 popper full. Not so! I have to divide the bag of oil and the bag of popcorn in half. I guess it's made for one of the big popcorn making machines. It's really a pain.

We love this popcorn! We'll definitely reorder.

Best in a kettle but you can also make on stove. Its very good! Tastes just like the movie theaters popcorn!!

I can’t believe how good this popcorn tastes. Amazing buttery goodness in my mouth. Okay I must say this is definitely a repeat buy.

The popcorn was very tough and maybe old. This is not how I remember it being. I will not purchase this item again.

This product was good from other sources but the popcorn from Sam’s tastes stale. It seems like old product.
