Snack Baggies

Okay, so we all know how it is to pack lunch on a busy weeknight--or even early in the morning before we leave! But here's a tip that, when packing snack crackers (like Cheez-It) or snack cookies (like Teddy Grahams), is sure to assist you!
The stores in which you shop are selling boxes of pre-packaged snacks, but there are two reasons for you to follow my trick: most boxed snack packs only come in the more-expensive brand-name products, and they make you pay more for the convenience of snack packs. Why pay the higher price for that extra packaging of expensive snacks when you can buy the big box of just-as-tasty store-brand snacks and make your own 'snack packs' using snack-sized Ziploc bags?!
I measure out the approximate serving size into a snack baggy and toss the baggies into the box I bought the food in. Store the box in your cabinet or pantry like you normally would, only now you have pre-portioned snack packs!
If you (or your child/children) eat a lot of snacks like this, I recommend getting a storage tote to keep these snack packs in, that way you'll have a variety right there on hand, ready to go into the lunchbox or be your snack.
Another big advantage to this trick is your cookies or crackers won't go stale because the big bag didn't get closed completely. Ziploc seals are great, and so are your own snack packs!
