So I’m in a new living situation and trying to be more frugal. I bought a refillable keurig cup but my keurig rejected it.

2nd attempt: I bought some popcorn and a microwave popper and cheese topping. Popcorn turned out fine but cheese topping did not stick to the popcorn.

What is the most frugal way to flavor the popcorn?

[Sally]

Spray a little Pam or cooking spray on your popcorn and then add your topping and then shake your popcorn and then spray it again and add your toppings.

I use the olive oil Pam. Do you like yellow or white kernels?

I definitely like the yellow better

I got out my old mr coffee and make myself a pot of coffee.
Much less cost

My doctor recommended nutritional yeast(taste like cheese and I use about 1 teaspoon). I also shake some adobo on the popcorn to give it taste.

You can also make your own nutritional yeast by toasting dead yeast.

I buy bulk active yeast by the lbs because they cheaper than store packet yeast but after six months the yeast stop working.

I toast the non active yeast in my wok or pan, after they cool down, I store them in the freezer.

I put popping corn into a brown lunch bag . Roll the top. Place in microwave until it stops popping.

Remove, pour into bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or melted butter or a flavored popcorn seasoning.

Good for you moving away from the keurig type coffee Old school coffee is frugal & tastes great – brewed of French press … & popcorn girl get corn kernels & pop in the stove you salt, butter, parm whatever it’s soooo cheap

[Barbara]

I spray it with Cant believe it’s not butter than sprinkle the flavor.

[Nancy]

My daughters love these for popcorn. I have found several at thrift stores. So inexpensive to make in these.

Just a bag of popcorn and oil and anything will stick.

[Ellen]

Agree with comment on making coffee with a French press (search under brand name Bodum.) Uses less coffee grounds, has no throw-away cups to buy. Just heat water and pour. So delicious.

I’d recommend a glass carafe and not the plastic.

I bought a plastic version for traveling and the coffee tasted awful.

The product lasts for many years as long as you don’t drop it or accidentally put it on a hot burner.

[Janice]

Try using a cooking spray (like PAM or spray olive oil) before sprinkling on the topping.

[Gloria]

I spray our popcorn after we pop it with a little tiny bit a butter flavored cooking spray then shake the popcorn salt on it otherwise it just goes to the bottom of the dish

[Nesha]

If you want flavoring to stick to the popcorn you’ll need to pop it on the stove with a little oil.

[Diana]

Use real popcorn, make on stove, when done add 1/2 stick real butter and salt. Some use seasoning salt and if you want powered cheese.

The butter makes everything stick.

It’s so much cheaper. Big bag of Jolly Time white ( tenderest) is less than $3 butter is worth the money because you’re gonna use it for other things.

I had a friend who also ate Reese’s pieces with it.

[Mary]

The ALDI stores sell flavored popcorn salts. Check Amazon too.
I have a friend who just sprinkles her favorite seasoning blends.

[Patricia]

Splash a little water flicked on with your fingers and topping will stick. Just a little.

[Kendall]

Healthy popcorn option … try spraying popcorn with Chosen brand avocado oil and sprinkling with nutritional yeast.

[Barbara]

I never had luck with the refillable k cup pods I’m sure they design the machine in a certain way to make sure we’re buying theirs

[Michele]

Ok let machine start up and lift lid to reset . If pod fits it will work just takes a minute.

Add butter or margarine then sprinkle with cheese flavour you have

[Nancy]

Buy a few kurig cups, take the labels from the tops and attach to refillable cups.

Some kurig machine only recognize their own labels.

[Allison]

Love my micro popcorn popper! I use melted butter and add the seasoning and drizzle it on. You could use olive oil also. You could also spray with cooking oil and then add.

A little goes a long way. Just drizzle and toss to get it on all of it.

I also have seen people use a regular bowl, add water and seasoning and the popcorn.

Cover with a plate and pop it that way.

It might help the flavoring stick. We just like butter!

[Cheryl]

You can sprinkle Kraft Parmesan in the green can. Or pop on stove with a 1/4 cup sugar & make your own kettle corn.
