Tasty Treats for Less

Posted by Jody Halsted on Monday, June 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Have you noticed all the new snacks that line the grocery store aisles?  Many of them are designed with your kids in mind- Teddy Grahams Trail Mix, 100 calorie candies and cookies, tasty treats in all shapes and sizes.

Unfortunately those treats just don’t fit into my budget.  They are overpriced and under-sized.  So I create my own “trail mix” from what ever is on sale, on a coupon and bite sized.

Today’s mix includes M&Ms, some pretzels that I got in a goody bag this weekend, marshmallows, peanut butter baking chips and some off-brand cheese crackers.

assorted 170

I can easily put half a cup of this into snack cups for the girls, it tastes better and I can choose what my girls eat.
