Reader Janis let me know about an opportunity for Albertson’s shoppers to get 2 free coupons for Jolly Time popcorn. I am going to give you the quick summary and then below I will include the entire letter with more information.
Albertson’s is going to replace Jolly Time popcorn in stores. Jolly Time is waging a campaign to stay in stores by offering consumers 2 free coupons for Jolly Time that can be redeemed at any store. In exchange, they are asking for an email from you stating you intend to buy Jolly Time at another store. You just need to send the email before August 15th and they will mail you the coupons right out.
In your email include the following:
- “You prefer and are loyal to JOLLY TIME Pop Corn and will shop at another store to purchase JOLLY TIME if necessary”
- Your name and Mailing Address (so we can mail your FREE coupons)
- Street & City of the Albertson’s store you normally shop
- Your favorite JOLLY TIME Pop Corn product. (Find that at Jollytime.com)
And then send it off to:
Thanks Janis! It looks like they are also offering a free reusable tote when you purchase 3 products.

AS A FAN OF JOLLY TIME POP CORN, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
“Albertson’s has recently decided to no longer sell ANY JOLLY TIME Pop Corn products. Alberston’s believes they can choose what brand of popcorn you will purchase and that if JOLLY TIME is not on the shelf, you will simply switch to another brand.
Unlike our competitors who are owned by large multi-brand corporations, JOLLY TIME Pop Corn is a 4th generation, family owned business. Our 170 employees are an extended part of that family and are committed to bringing you and your family the highest quality and best value in popcorn products.
We are asking for you to take a moment to send us a brief email simply stating…you prefer and are loyal to JOLLY TIME Pop Corn and will shop at another store to purchase JOLLY TIME if necessary. Please take a moment and send the email now!
* email: [email protected]
Please, include the following in your email:
* “You prefer and are loyal to JOLLY TIME Pop Corn and will shop at another store to purchase JOLLY TIME if necessary”
* Your name and Mailing Address (so we can mail your FREE coupons)
* Street & City of the Albertson’s store you normally shop
* Your favorite JOLLY TIME Pop Corn product.
Please feel free to share the above email address with friends and family as well. Once we have received your email, we will send your TWO FREE COUPONS redeemable wherever JOLLY TIME Pop Corn is sold as a small thank you. We truly do appreciate your loyalty and hopefully soon there will be a variety of JOLLY TIME Pop Corn products back on Alberston’s shelves in your area!
Due to the urgency of this matter, we ask that all emails be sent by August 15th, 2010 and any emails sent after that date will not receive the FREE coupons!”

There are also coupons at Jollytime.com for $1/2! I LOVE Jolly Time 100 Cal packs in Butter flavor. Seriously, the only popcorn I will buy. I sent my email off to save Jolly Time!
I enjoy jolly time,orginal theather popcorn, buying several 3 pack pkgs at a time. Having enjoy jollytime popcorn for nearly 70 years. My Mother use pop it on a wood stove in a frying pan. We usually purchase it from Albertson’s,501 W Main, Cut Bank, Mt. 59427. If Albertson’s discontinues stocking it we will have no other choice but go elsewhere and would purchase other items also.

I hope everybody will join us into convincing Alberton’s to keep stocking jollytime popcorn.
Are Jewel stores included in this?
We have enjoyed Jolly Time popcorn for a long time and we would like Albertson’s to keep stocking the popcorn. We will no longer shop at Alberson’s if they don’t continue to offer Jolly Time.
Thanks for the heads up. I emailed when I saw this post and just got my coupons a few days ago!
