I am a popcorn connoisseur that loves Dale and Thomas popcorn! The website periodically offers free samples and it was after such an experience that I became hooked. I have only every received one order that was not fresh, but with a call to customer service a new shipment was on its way with a bonus for my troubles.

With all of the divine flavors of sweet or savory popcorn it is easy to find something for everyone.

Butter Toffee and Walnut Crunch
Sweet Georgia Pecan
Dale's Caramel
Hall of Fame kettle corn
Country Smokehouse Cheddar
White Cheddar and Black Peppercorn
Chocolate Crunch and Caramel
Cinnamon Creme Drizzlecorn
Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Drizzlecorn
Toffee Crunch Drizzlecorn
Twice-as-Nice Chocolate Drizzlecorn

While I love the popcorn and would eat it every chance I could, the price is a bit prohibitive for a family on a budget. Here are the things that I have done to make their popcorn a bit more in keeping with my budget.

check their site daily for sales and coupons.
signed up for their newsletter and receive other discount codes
read all emails after a purchase--I have often received gift certificates to use on a future purchase
sign up for the PopClub rewards program and earn kernels for each purchase. Kernels can then be redeemed for gift certificates.

Another con for Dale and Thomas popcorn is that they may have become a victim of their own success. The company and popcorn have been featured in a number of publications and on a number of television programs. Oprah sited it as one of her favorite things for 2004. In 2007 it was featured on Unwrapped on Food Network, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, and in Readers Digest. I believe that this is the reason that shipping on my last three orders were delayed by as much as a week at times.

Despite the cons I will continue to find ways to buy one of the best popcorns I have ever tasted.
