aztater Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I'm thinking of getting atleast one from Kmart on Turkey Day to bring with me when I'm in line at BB. =)
Catrinaf25 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I LOVE THEM. We get one in Nov and the kids eat all the popcorn and then any change OR dollars they find laying around the house goes in the Tin. A week before christmas we cash this in and they get to buy gifts ( they draw names) ( they split the amount of money thats in the tin). so this way they each get to buy their sis or bro a gift . they love it. its almost like a game!
MissC63 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I buy at least 20 of them every Christmas. My mother and my mother in law are in nursing homes and I like get them for the nurses stations, activities people, laundry, hair dresser, cafeteria...etc.
sbwolfer Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Those tins can come in pretty handy...many uses for them! I have a bunch that I store some Christmas decorations in, you greenery like your garland and stuff...you can fit tons in there, just wind it up inside I buy these tins sometimes. I'll even wait til after Christmas when they are really marked down. My DH loves the popcorn! Plus those tins come in handy for storing Christmas decorations. They are already Christmas looking so they don't need to be labeled. I store my tree angel in one. I also use them for garland and even lights sometimes.
AndreaInNC Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I love the popcorn tins! Cheese popcorn .. yummy
angel-too Posted November 1, 2006 Posted November 1, 2006 I wouldn't give one as a gift but I thought they were more for just having near the TV.
JustJules Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 We have a place here in town that sells those tins in many different sizes. If you want you can take one of the cans you have gotten from them and they just fill the can with the flavor of your choice and only pay for the popcorn. Their caramel popcorn is to live for.
elena_398 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I love them. Every year my daughter picks one out herself as when its empty, she used it as her trashcan for the year. last year was the Disney Princesses. She wants a Bratz tin this year. Hopefully they will have them
migirlfriday Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Wow, it seems that you either love them or hate them. I sometimes buy them if I'm in a pinch for a cheaper gift. I do like to get them myself. The only ones I have ever gotten as a gift had the popcorn in bags and I like to reuse the tin - one has Christmas ornaments in it, another has gloves, mittens and hats.
elena_398 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I always reused the tins. Great trashcans or storage for christmas stuff. I don't give them as gifts, but let my kids pick one out each. We actually enjoy the popcorn (caramel corn and cheese popcorn anyway)
KaS Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I get one every year. The popcorn is great. I love them!!!
Deal Grabber Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I sometimes get them. Let the kids eat the stale popcorn and then use the cute can for a trah can in one of their rooms.Yes thats what i do or use them to store toys like cars or lincoln logs.They make great storage cans.
Spice9195 Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I get one or two every year mainly because my Dog love the carmel corn. He snubs the plain and cheese.
sissykus Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I always buy 2 or 3, they are great for people you dont know what to get or you dont like so much
Sunshyne Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 The Cars one is at Kmart and will be on sale either Wednesday or Thursday...haven't figured that out yet. I am getting it for DS.
christib327 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I want to get that Cars one too. I just want the tin to store my boys hotwheels in. I'd also like to find one with tractors on it to store all of their little die cast tractors in. Maybe TSC would have something like that. As far as the popcorn goes....I don't think it's all that hot, but my husband and kids will eat it. What they don't eat our dog would LOVE to have!!
satidwell Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 my mother in law gives these away for birthday presents in january and febuary and yes they are the christmas designs i guess she gets them 90% off or something!!!!! anyway we hate them of course we also havent had fresh ones either
threelittlecupcakes Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 I always buy 2 or 3, they are great for people you dont know what to get or you dont like so muchGee - so now if I get one I will think back to this post and think I am not liked! ha ha
