The Popcorn Factory Gift Buckets

Halloween Rocks!! It is so the best holiday. Hands down, no lie. The best!

Last week, I was in a coupon clipping daze (thank you, Sunday Newspaper) and I came across this ad for The Popcorn Factory and, bingo, candy and decorating in one. Can it get any better? Maybe if they added hiking or hay rides....whatever.

I have two adorable nieces and one good friend who recently moved to Florida (miss you, Kim) that may need a little Halloween surprise in the form of popcorn balls and marshmallow ghosts. As the Kool-Aid man used to say, oh yah!!!


Popcorn Ball Decorating Kit

Kit includes 12 popcorn balls, decorating candies, and an icing writer. Price $19.99 at www.thepopcornfactory.com

Since I prefer to be frugal whenever possible, I am going to guess that it wouldn't be to difficult to make your own cheaper versions of these gift buckets. I mean, even I can make a few popcorn balls and buy a bunch of candy to "decorate" them with, but to each their own. Sometimes time is more valuable than money, but I am not Martha Stewart or Bill Gates so my pay is negligible at the moment.

The Office DVD Board Game & Season 5

Season 5 of The Office begins this Thursday, September 25Th. I am super psyched because I actually have this Thursday off from teaching ESL so I can watch it live from the Olson Family Living Room or OFLR!!



The season premier is titled "Weight Loss". A Dunder Mifflin weight loss initiative causes the branch to diet and become obsessed with their weight.

Jena Fisher will be a guest on the Tonight Show this Wednesday, September 24Th for those of us wanting a little pregame teaser before the big event.

Don't Forget!!! New office Webisodes and downloads are on the Internet right now!! Subscribe to the monthly newsletter!! Now, do it now people!!!

For those of you who are truly addicted (like me), you may want to purchase The Office DVD Board Game for $25.
I saw it on Sunday when I was at Target and I nearly drooled on myself. No, I didn't buy it, because I am completely and utterly poor, hence the clipping coupons, but I did hold it in my hands and covet it righteously. Ohhh, Sweet Jesus!!!

Serious Addictions

Wow! I can't clip enough coupons these days!! I even clip them for stuff that I don't need and have no intention of ever buying. I don't have a dog so why do I need to save $2 on Beneful Snackin Slices Dog Snacks or $5 on Osteo Bi-Flex? However, I may actually use a coupon for 50 cents off on Egglands Best Eggs. Oh, boy!!
