another brilliant octo idea! But then, we always wash and reuse all those little baggies. Do you? Cuz that would take a looooooong time.

I do the same. I have just started to do the ones going to school in tiny little plastic lunchboxes. Must be cheaper in the long run, but also a but "greener"

I bet it also cuts down on fights over "sharing" - a.k.a. "she has more than I do!"
I think I'll have to do this with our frozen peas because several of mine like to snack on them & next thing I knew there was a limp bag of 10 in the drawer. ;)

Ha! So with you!
Phoebe would only eat individually wrapped cheeses, until I took to cutting out shapes from a big blog with cookie cutters - at which point she developed an interest!

I could stand to take a few lessons from you. I just ran out of ziplock bags this morning.

Definitely need to try to do a bit more around the house. :)

What a great idea!!!

I would love to have a quick list of all your snack "options." I'm trying to find healthy snacks (that are also inexpensive).
But basically, for the kids I have goldfish, animal crackers, and off-brand cheeze-its. (And fruit or veggies in the fridge)
And for the hubby, I buy Triscuits, Wheat Thins, and name-brand Cheeze-Its.
I wish I could make some of my own snacks or something, because I feel like the "snack" category eats up so much of our food budget!
Do you make your own/buy in bulk?
Any thoughts?

You're a genius Octamom! I think i will have to buy gallon bags for my 14 year old boy's snack bags, though.

Excellent idea...and much more healthy if you want my opinion.

I learned this trick a little over a year ago from a dear woman and my kids have loved it. Our snack basket sits on the top of our refrigerator and they get to rummage through it after school and during the weekends for their snacks. It sure helps keep those snacks lasting a little longer than letting them dig through the family size packs themselves.

Brilliant idea! I used to do this with snacks a few years ago but have gotten out of the habit. Definitely time to revive it!

AMEN Sister. Thank you...this is exactly what I'm saying and I've been saying it for a long time. Love your idea and may I just say that I'm going to shamelessly copy you in this department. I buy in bulk, but my kids will sit down with the entire container of "whatever" and before they know it....Gone!
There must be extra knowledge in having 3 more than 5 because you know all the good stuff that I should know.
Thanks for the idea and info.

Mmmm. Bat guano.
