This is a great reminder that we dont have to buy those expensive packaged 'kid' snacks. Thanks for the simple, affordable ideas

I LOVE the reaction from your daughter. Made me laugh. 🤣
Popcorn is a favorite snack of mine, but I’ll have to try the chickpeas now!

Thanks for sharing these ideas! Your extreme grocery budget videos inspired me to reduce our grocery spending, but I completely quit buying snacks. My kids will be thankful that I can offer budget friendly snacks now!

My kids favorite snack was called “crack mix” our youngest couldn’t pronounce trail mix LOL this was long before there was such a thing as the drug crack. But the name does fit because it’s addictive.

The largest box you can find of plain Cheerios, half a box of raisins, half a bag of coconut, half a bag of mini chocolate chips, and as much honey drizzled on to make it combine together. It would last them all week long. You can add whatever else you want to it Craisins or nuts, etc. But we just ate it like this. And even though they’re all in their 30s and 40s now my children (and my grandchildren) still love it. My husband especially loves it. I had to hide it from him 😂

Hi Lori, TY for sharing these simple snack ideas.... I forgot how cheap and easy saltiness crackers can be jazzed up for a yummy treat.... love these ideas 💘

[sashalogue]

Thanks for the snack ideas! I will be making the roasted chick peas soon. I am always looking for new snack ideas and recipes. Eliminating prepackaged snacks has been such a money saver for our family. I’ve also shared some snack ideas over on my channel as well.

I’ve had my Whirly Pop since the 1990’s and use it a lot. I use coconut oil and some coarse salt for seasoning. It’s so much better than the microwave bags!

Making a list as I watch! My kids probably like all the children in general love their snacks and these are wonderful!

[chelseasanders]

I ordered the popcorn popper. It came in today and we just tried it. We LOVE it! Thank you!!

[browneyedgirl]

Love those ideas. When I was babysitting my grandkids I would make popsicles using real fruit & adding a little water in a blender. They loved them! I will definitely try the chickpeas 😋

You are treasurer. Thank you for the great ideas.

When I was little my folks sliced a banana into a cereal bowl, poured milk on top and sprinkled a wee bit of sugar. It was a family favorite...

[amaya]

Thanks so much for the ideas! I'm definitely trying the dip and the chickpeas! The rest of your (great!) Suggestions we do already do at home!

[lindahumes]

Lori I will definately use some of your snack ideas!! The chickpea giggles was adorable. Takes me back
to when my son was young and he and I would try eating new things together and would get the giggles
when something we ate was a bit funky LOL. I love roasted Chickpeas! Have a great weekend!! Thank you
for sharing!!

I love popcorn. I make it I'm the microwave in a corelle bowl with a corelle plate on it. I sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for sweet or nutritional yeast and salt for savory flavor.

My mom used to make popsicles all the time and in Florida we had plenty of citrus to use. She also froze yogurts for us to eat as ice cream which of course took longer to eat so she kept us busy with that. She made homemade pickles and gave us those for snacks. Also jello was a big thing as a kid.

Now it is a granola bar, nuts, or a piece of fruit, or celery and carrot sticks.

Maybe your daughter would like the chickpeas made into hummus instead. For that I substitute the tahini with peanut butter because tahini is expensive and I always have peanut butter on hand.

Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

All good snack ideas 😊 one suggestion to save from using snack bags for the frozen kale and spinach … once the whole bags are frozen or purchased frozen, you can just break off the amount you need very easily. It becomes crumbly enough that you can break off the amount you need.

Homemade granola and granola bars are great, stopped buying years ago.
