I agree that the popcorn is a bit expensive. BUT, it is something that the boys take great pride in doing. It is very hard for many of these boys tho go door to door and ask people to buy from them. My oldest son has a hard time with it even when it is his grandparents who would buy a jar of sand from him if he tried to sell it to them. This is the first year my boys have sold the popcorn and they have done very well. In the first week they sold over $500.00 between the two of them. They have put very little effort into doing it. I had never tried the popcorn before today and let me tell you after trying it I will buy several boxes and will look forward to next year. My boys have sold to family and friends all over the country. I will happly be mailing popcorn to NY,FL, GA.KS and OK. We are in TX. WE will also have to take two weekends to deliver it to two other towns. The closest is one and a half hours away.SO as you can see it many be pricey many people like it and will pay the price to get it. GS cookies are also expenseve to buy and most all of us buy those and they don't last as long as the popcorn. When you look at cost of popcorn-V-GA cookies the popcorn is a better deal for you money.
