This Charlie Brown Popcorn recipe is a sponsored conversation on behalf of Alberstons Safeway.
Since the calendar rolled over to October, my girls have been watching It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown at least once a day.
Add in this week’s battle with the flu and it may have been twice a day for the last four days. But honestly, I can’t complain much about the wholesome entertainment this movie provides and the fun storyline that reminds me of my own childhood.
I haven’t told the girls yet but there’s a new Peanuts movie coming out on Friday, November 6th that we plan on taking them too. Going to the theater is a real treat around here and at almost 4, Cupcake still hasn’t been so this will a memorable event for the whole family!
Randall’s here in Austin is getting in on the excitement for the new Peanuts movie too and as the official grocery partner has designed two exclusive reusable Peanuts branded shopping bags/trick-or-treat bags to support this campaign! These bags are available free in-store (while supplies last) to shoppers who purchase three participating items from the following brands:
- Horizon Organics
- Coke (Honest and Pure Leaf)
- Nestle
- Johnsonville
- Ziploc
- Johnson & Johnson
- All
- Tyson
- Pop Secret
- Snack Pack (ConAgra)
- DPSG
- Schwan’s (Red Barons)
- Rich Products (sugar cookies and cakes in the deli)
- ACH Foods/Spice Islands
- Bertolli/Ragu
- Kellogg’s
Colby can’t get enough Pop Secret popcorn (she’ll eat it for breakfast) so I stocked up and managed to snag two of these Peanuts bags to surprise the girls when we go trick-or-treating! I know they’ll love to see their favorite characters and I love I can reuse it when grocery shopping (a must here in Austin with our plastic bag ban).
