If your kids are anything like mine, they go through snacks like crazy, and lets face it those little snack packs are not cheap! Some are $4-$5 for 6 tiny little packages!
My daughter used to be all for the bargain brand gummies etc but now that she has a partial mouth piece she can't have those, or any other fruit roll up type products or sugary candies.
My solution?
I spent $10, on 60+ snacks. Actually about 75 IF I bagged them all.
(Plus $1 on a box of snack bags, or a few bucks on a bulk case of a couple hundred from your nearest BJs.)
Best of all, it only took about twenty minutes to bag it all!
The end result? A larger variety, cheaper cost, AND correct portion size. You can decide how little or how much is right for your kiddies. I did four cookies per bag, and a handful of the chips and crackers per bag.
I also was left with two half bags of chips to snack on, as well as 20 of the sandwhich cookies to send to the class to enjoy.
Here is what I bought: (&how many baggies they made)
$1 bag of ruffles- but I only used half(5 snacks)
$2 bag of doritoes-but I only used half(5 snacks)
$1 bag of cheddar fries (5 snacks)
$2 box of cheezits (12 snacks)
$1.50 choc chip cookies (8 snacks)
$1.50 shortbreads (8 snacks)
$2 sandwhich cookies (15 snacks)
_____
$11 (I had a dollar off coupon as well to make it $10 even)
Obviously prices will vary based on stores, I shopped at price chopper, but even dollar tree has the exact same brand of cookies, and ruffle chips so that could even cut it down further. They also have bags of pretzels etc. I was just buying these because that's where I was. And price chopper very frequently does 2/$4 on cheezits, doritoes and other items AND there sale prices will still work if you only get one and not two.
*Oh and you will see two baggies of el fudge cookies I decided to share lol. The package was not counted in my total.
