Not only is microwave popcorn expensive (about 37 cents per serving), it is also wasteful and potentially dangerous: The nonstick coating inside the bag contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a likely carcinogen, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Instead, buy popcorn kernels from the bulk bin at the supermarket. It's significantly cheaper, and you can pop them on the stovetop in about the same time it takes to microwave popcorn. Plus, you can make the exact amount you want.
