Caramel Corn Balls
7 quarts popped popcorn
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
vanilla
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
Boil sugar, butter and corn syrup 4 minutes. Remove from stove and add salt, soda and vanilla. (This will foam when soda is added). Pour sauce over the popped popcorn, stir carefully. Put into a large pan into oven at 250F for 1 hour. Carefully stir every 10 minutes. If pan is big enough, shake popcorn–it doesn’t crumble as much.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
