This, without a doubt, is my favorite frugal way to make popcorn and this is the way I've been doing it for years. I've been putting it in a brown paper bag and just popping it in the microwave.
But that brown-paper-bag-thing was starting to get a little old. We would run out of bags, or the bag would open or tear, and we'd have a bit of a mess on our hands.
I've had my eye on the Nordic Ware Microwaver Popcorn Popper for a little while now. It was hovering the $15-$16 zone for the last month or so, but it just hit its lowest Amazon price ever, $7.00 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. It's basically a gemstone 12-cup bowl with a plastic lid that is completely microwave safe, no BPAs, it won't melt or warp, etc. It's dishwasher safe as well (a requirement in my kitchen). It's just a neater way of making the popcorn, and you can eat it right out of the same bowl. And for $7.00, it's a great buy. This microwavew popper got 4.4 out of 5 stars over 1,344 customer reviews.
Just parenthetically, if you're particular about eating organic popcorn only, Amazon has got a 5 lb. bag of Great Northern Popcorn Organic Premium Popcorn for its lowest price ever posted as well, $13.08 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. This comes to $2.62 per lb. of organic, non-gmo popcorn. This popcorn got 4.1 out of 5 stars over 348 customer reviews.
