Feed your kiddo’s snack cravings with these frugal After School Snacks for Kids!!
We all know groceries can be expensive… and pre-packaged snack sized goodies are no exception.
So here is How I Save Money on Snacks for the Kids with these After School Snacks for Kids!!
After School Snacks for Kids
One way I’ve found to really save money on groceries is to cut back on prepackaged snacks, and pack my own. Not only does this save money, but you can also determine the portion size and incorporate some healthy snacks too!
Some of my boys’ favorites include: pretzels, raisins, cashews or homemade trail mix, popcorn, and… cheez-its {yes, I know those aren’t healthy, but they do love ’em}!
Now, I’m a girl that loves baskets, so I store the snacks in 2 matching baskets which fit nicely side by side on top of my refrigerator.
They’re great for school lunches, drives around town, or long road trips, too! For a little amount of effort, you’ll be able to save BIG!

I swear by this method! I tell everyone. I’ve been doing it for a few years now and it really helps a lot. When the kids come home from school they dive into a box of crackers and forget it, its gone, but if they know they can only grab a baggie then they do that and they are fine. I love doing it for cereal because they inevitably poor too much if they have the box and end up too full to finish it.

Hi Melissa!
I either buy the bulk crackers and pretzels, or buy regular sized bags at the grocery store {when they are on sale… with a coupon}!
Whatever is the least expensive is what I buy! 🙂
