Comments

  1. My daughter would love this! Her three favorite things: snacks, colored pencils, and a dry erase board…

  2. Hi Jill. Great give-away.

    Snacks are a tough one. Lately I’ve been trying to pair protein with a fruit or vegetable. Some (like celery and hummus) are an old-fashioned easy combo. Here’s some others I’ve come up with:
    * Strawberries dipped in warmed honey (to make it thin) and then diced walnut pieces
    * Apple slices and peanut butter
    * Melon balls with greek yogurt
    * Black bean dip (or white bean dip) and cut vegetables (celery, broccoli stalks, carrots, etc…)
    * Banana berry bread (whole wheat banana tea bread with extra berries and flax)

  4. My son hasn’t ever had those but I bet he’d like them. If not, I’ll sure enjoy them.

  7. We haven’t tried these, but would love to try them and let the group know what we thought.
    Thanks Jill!

  8. I’m always looking for easy snacks to pack. My one child gets migraines and needs to eat every 2-3 hours. These bars would be great!

  9. Jill if your looking for more snacks, we suggest the yogurt tubes frozen. My daughter loves them and with last weeks news report about home lunches making your child sick it helps to keep your childs lunch cool.

  10. My daughters would love these in their lunchboxes…they really like nutrigrain bars and sweet and salty style granola bars for snacks.

  11. I like to use Bumblebee tuna lunch kits… And I buy mandarin oranges or other canned fruit and put them in smaller plastic containers.

  14. Great giveaway! Sometimes we freeze yogurt. By the time the kids open it up for lunch or a snack, it is mostly thawed but still nice and cold!

  17. My kids love these bars. My teenager keeps a box in his car for “emergency” hunger situations! When we get tired of the usual pretzel, cracker, etc for snack at school, sometimes my kids like to take a hard boiled egg. great protein and budget friendly.

  19. What a great giveaway for back to school time, especially since I just had surgery and am not around to do all those little special things for my kids.

  22. OOOOOOO who doesnt love a good treat? in my lunchbox i love brie & crackers. Very upscale for my job as a nanny :)

  23. I’ve wondered about these bars, if they were any good…I might have to buy some after all the posts that they are indeed yumm…I freeze grapes and pack them in her lunch to help keep things cold and its a healthy snack…who doesn’t love a good grape? :D

  24. My daughter would LOVE to try these treat bars, thanks for the chance to win this great package!

  25. Oh my son would LOVE these, his favorites are the teddy grahams, rice krispie and sponge bob fruit snacks!

  28. I would love to try these items. My son likes to take jello in his lunch. I do not buy the premade jello in the refrigerator section. Instead, I bought a 6 pack of the little round reusable Glad containers for about $2.50 and make my own jello. It takes less than 5 minutes every Sunday. I can generally get 4 packages of jello for $1.00. The containers pay for themselves the first time you use them!

  34. A few of our faves are celery with peanut butter or cream cheese in it. GoGurt and we freeze it so by the time it gets to be lunch it is perfect.

  36. Thanks for sharing…My girls love the snack bars, something that is always on our shelves.

  37. I use the Glad small containers ( rewash them) to make my kids their own jello snacks. Much cheaper than buying them already done and only takes a couple of minutes, we also love these types of items for busy day. When we have alot of errands to run I like easy to keep in the car.

  38. I use dry cereal in a baggie a lot for snacks – this sounds great though! Thanks for the giveaway! I wish everyone luck!

  39. This would be a great gift for my children. I would love for them to have the opportunity to try them. If it would get them to eat breakfast it would save me some arguments.

  40. My kids love the GOGurts. I freeze them so they thaw by lunchtime!! Another one is when there is a lil cereal left in each bag we mix them together and put into baggies.

  41. One of my daughter’s favorite snacks is pretzel sticks with a mini babybel cheese wheel. Quick and easy to pack!

  43. Always looking for snacks. I make the jello jigglers and have my son help cut the shapes, they keep well in his lunch box, I also cut up apples or pears spritz them with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown with a small cup of peanut butter or packs of caramel dip. But I do like everyones idea of the mixed cereal for a treat, why I never thought of that, thanks for the suggestion!

  44. My favorite lunchbox snack is a nature valley granola bar (currently digging the oats ‘n dark chocolate … Yummmmmmm). Good thing I stocked up and the last sale! ;)

  46. …is by far the Golden Graham Treat Bars! Of course I make the kids wait until a sale comes along before I buy them…them can be a bit pricey! Thanks for the chance!!!

  49. Jill Thank you so much for all the information you provide us! My family and I always LOVE free stuff. Especially if has to do with snacks. My son loves the Golden Gram bars!

  59. We love to mix up chex mix, cheddar chex mix, pretzels, gold fish, cheetos and cheerios. This makes a HUGE bowl of “snack mix” that lasts my 3 kids weeks (unless Grandpa comes to visit!).

  60. Thanks for all of the wonderful tips on saving money, it really helps to keep the budget in line.

  62. Hi Jill,
    Granola bars and the like are a favorite around here. We also like the fruit strips from Trader joes and walmart. Yogurt covered raisins use to be a favorite too.

  63. My kids would love to try these snack bars! Their favorite treat right now is fruit roll ups or pudding cups :)

  64. My daughter is so picky. She is an athlete and to try to find high protein snacks that she will like is impossible. I am also always looking for suggestions.

  72. What a great back to school treat!!! My daughter is starting a new school in just 1 week and 6 days and this would be a fabulous way to send her to school!!!

    =>

  73. Other nice snacks are the kashi bars, Dole fruit cups or bites, 100 calorie cheese bags or fresh baked soft pretzels with mustard pack.

  76. My kids love apple slices w/peanut butter or pretzels for a quick and easy snack. I’m sure they would enjoy these Cereal treats too!

  77. This is a great giveaway! I always buy my daughter snacks such as granola bars or crackers and I end up snacking on them more than her :)

  78. Fruit is always my fav. lunchbox snack but a great one that adds fiber, fills the tummy and kids love is dry cereal (cheerios, honey nut cherrios, golden grahams, cocoa puffs), choc. chips, peanuts. You can change it up with marshmallows, granola, almonds, etc.

    Thank for the great giveaways too Jill, it’s always exciting hoping to win.

  80. we would love these!

    One of his favorite snacks are seedless grapes. We put them in the freezer the night before and then we put them in a tupperware snack cup. This way they work as a cold pack for his lunch and they are still cold for him at lunch!

  81. My son has become addicted to Go-gurt for his snack. These cereal bars would be a good alternative!

  82. In our house we try to eat a lot of fresh fruit or dried fruit for our snacks but occasionally we sneak in cereal bars because they do have some nutritional value unlike candy bars and sugary treats. Keeping my fingers crossed to win!!!

  84. Wow! I could SO use this give away! I have really been trying to get creative with healthy lunch box choices for my 9 & 6 year olds. It can be a challenge, especially when prices are high and money is tight.

  85. My current LEGO lunch bag is getting pretty worn after using it for the past several years and is going to need replacing soon. Unfortunately, it’s been out of production for so long I’ll just have to make do with something else, so might as well try for a freebie, right?

  86. Thank you Jill another great giveaway.
    I usually give them a Fiber One or Nature Valley bar and a piece of fruit for their lunch snacks.

  88. Sometimes my kids get these for breakfast with a glass of milk in the car on the way to school. I enjoy eating them myself.

  89. Peanut Butter & Granola Wrap….spread flour tortilla w peanut butter, little honey, sprinkle with granola and roll :) I cut in half.

  91. Tomato (cherry or grape), black olive and cheese square shish-ka-bobs (on tooth picks) my boys have goodbyns (a plastic container with separate compartments style lunchbox) so they store nicely and no baggies or wrap required. Although what they do with the toothpicks when they are at school I am not sure yet :-) I may be getting a call soon from the lunch mom.

  92. MY KIDS LOVE POPCORN.WE POP A BAG IN THE MORNING,PACK SOME FOR A SCHOOL SNACK AND IN THEIR LUNCH.IT’S A BIG BAG SO THERE IS ENOUGH FOR 2 KIDS!!HOPE WE WIN THE GIVEAWAY!!!!!!
    JILL,I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT YOU,YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

  93. My kids love yogurt, so I freeze the gogurts sticks and put them in their lunches so when its lunchtime they are no longer frozen, just nice and cold. I would love this giveaway for my kids.

  95. I always include a Hershey Kiss in their lunch just to give them a kiss during the day. And sometimes a little post-it note with words of encouragement.

  96. In our family, cheese sticks are king of snacks, tho my daughter really likes nutrigrain bars of all flavors…and brands! We will see how much she likes these cereal treat bars…lord knows she likes rice krispie treats!

  104. We like to do healthy snacks, so mostly cut up veggies, fruit, and granola bars. Even a half of a sandwich is sometimes good to have as a snack!

  105. I tend to go with the pre-packaged items or fresh fruit. Crackers are usually good, too. I have to pack 2 snacks every day–they have to be labeled AM and PM snack. Phew. Who knew it would be this much effort?

    I’d love to win some more to add to the stockpile.

  106. I make home made lucky charms bars like crispy treats. Or Fresh fruit is a real hit with my daughter!

  108. I’m totally digging those new Handi snaks, I got a bunch at Dominick’s this week with the coupon deal!

  123. Since our garden is full of cherry tomatoes, I’ll be using a lot of them in lunches in the weeks to come.

    Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway!

  125. What a great prize! That lunch bag looks “mommy-friendly” for those field trip days!

  129. My teenage daughter doesn’t eat much on her way out the door at 6:30am. This would be great for her for munching on the way to the bus.

  130. what a great way to start the day off right! good “free” food!
    Good luck to me and all!

  131. My kids love these snack bars!! The dry erase board is super cool, my daughter is a sixth grader and her first day was today :) It would be a great addition to her locker.
    Happy school days to all those kids out there! Be safe and Moms……Have Fun.

  134. I would love to win this! My kids have a snack drawer so they can pick out their own snacks for school lunches. This keeps them from complaining about getting the same thing all the time. One of there favorite snacks is sliced apples with peanut butter!

  137. Thank you so much, Jill for all the great(and hard)work you do to help us save money!! I was a amateur couponer before I found your site, but I have learned so much from you. I thank you and my family thanks you….even if they do get tired of my,”you”ll never guess how much I saved” stories!!

  139. My 12 yr old loves carrots and celery with ranch dressing,the little cups of mandarin oranges, string cheese, and pizza or nacho lunchables. Sometimes, I include a note or card telling her I love her or that I hope shes having a good day even though shes getting older, she still likes it.

  140. My kids love homemade trail mix for snack. I let them help make it with things we have in the pantry (cereal, chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, yogurt covered raisins, etc.).

  141. Lots of fresh fruit! Our school has a “fruit break” mid morning where the kids have a fresh vegetable or fruit.

  145. I love these contests. With a set of twins just starting full day kindergarten, I can always use more snacks! We love any kind of granola bars, but especially the Nature Valley salty/sweet varieties… string cheese, raisins, nutrigrain bars, and applesauce.

  146. a fresh sandwich,with fruit or cottage cheese and bottle of water!
    smlionlamb at gmail dot com

  147. My husband and son love the breakfast bars. My son just started all day kindergarten. When he takes a lunch, he takes a fresh sandwich (usually PB&J), grape tomatoes/pea pods, and then a special snack (like cookies or cheese crackers), and of course a juice box and water. He seems to eat better when he takes a lunch! Thanks for all of your couponing tips Jill! I have learned and saved a lot!

  148. String Cheese is one of my favorite lunchbox snack! Next to all General Mills Treat Bars!

  149. THIS WOULD BE GREAT MY KIDS LOVE GENERAL MILLS CEREAL,
    AND THEY WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS GREAT PRIZE PACK.
    THEY NORMALLY WOULD HAVE SOME TRIX CEREAL IN A ZIPLOCK BAG AND TAKE IT FOR LUNCH OR BREAKFAST ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL, WE JUST CALL THEM CEREAL SNACKS . ITS LIKE CEREAL ON THE GO. HOPE WE WIN. THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO ENTER.

  168. I like to pop a fresh bag of microwave popcorn and split it up into bags between my 2 kids for their snack. With the great deals we get it is cheap & healthy. Thanks Jill.

  169. Hummus and carrot sticks. They get in a veggie and a little protein to tide them over.

  170. Your website helped me to save so much money already in one month. Thank you. I love the popcorn snack idea below. I just got an awesome deal on these cereal bars for about $.50 a box. A couple more wouldn’t hurt. :)

  172. Your site has saved me so much money and my daughter and I play, let’s top the savings of last week!

  174. I like to mix my own trail mix and then portion them into snack size ziplock bags. Just buy some peanuts, raisains, mm’s and whatever else you like and its a nice snack for the kids. It’s also cheaper than buying them pre packaged. I do the same with goldfish, since they have differnt flavors.

  175. My family has not tried these snacks but I bet my kids would love them! Thanks for saving me so much money on groceries!

  178. Another vote for healthy snacks.

    Carrots, celery, grape tomatoes perhaps with some ranch dip.

    Just about any fruit, especially something that doesn’t have to be cut or peeled in advance.

    When we do chips, we bag our own, instead of paying a fortune for the pre-packaged stuff. You can convert an entire bag of chips into a pile of pre-bagged lunch portions in a few minutes instead of keeping the open bag around for a week and filling one a day.

  179. Our schools only allow healthly snacks – fruits and veggies – whole grain crackers – lots of yummy choices!

  180. The kids like red seedless grapes, granola bars, or apple sauce.
    Thanks for the cool combo, Jill! : )

  181. My boys like granola & cereal bars as snacks. We haven’t tried the Lucky Charms yet, but love the Golden Graham bars! I’ve even made my own granola bars – they’re delicious!

  182. Perfect timing for back to school. This time of year like to include cut up veggies from the garden with ranch or hummus

  183. I could always use great snacking ideas for after school. With 2 teenage sons they are always hungry for something good.

  184. this would be great for my finiky kids that won;t eat lunch nor breakfast. quick, easy and delicious snak Yum

  185. I always buy these for my three kids . they take them to school and when they get home they just want more.

  186. My son loves cherry tomatoes for snack in kindergarten. He would love to try these cereal bars!

  188. My grandkids love apples with caramel packets. Thanks Jill for helping us to stretch our budgets!

  189. My 3 yr old grandson’s favorite snack is mini graham crackers mixed in a baggie with raisins, which his mom prepares for him. I know he would love your Graham bars too.

  192. I would love to win this! Pretty sure my kids would love it too. The favorite snacks at our house are cheese sticks, cut up apples, and nuts. My youngest fades away without protein…

  194. My kids love to eat cut up strawberries and blue berries in a bag with Honey Nut Cheerios.

  204. With school in session, this would be a wonderful surprise! the kids love them too, so double bonus!

  207. Jill, love you and this site. Have learned so much. My kids would love these items. Thanks for all you do.

  208. My two kids love the snacks, but tire easily. So, we pick 3 for each shopping trip and rotate the snacks. They last longer and keep them from snack burnout.

  209. 4 out of 5 of my girls go to school. They would LOVE these for snacktime!!! Sliced brick cheese with crackers are good. Fruit is always the best. I try to change it up a lot. Thank you Jill, you have saved my family soooo much money!! I am eternally grateful!!!!!

  211. This is a great idea for a giveaway. Something useful that the kids will be excited about also.

  215. We make our own lunchables by using fondant or small cookie cutters on deli meats and cheeses. We do the same with thin slices of apples, then we soak those in lemon juice and water to prevent browning. The kids love making their own shapes. I make my own sandwiches with the scraps.

    I also make my own squeeze applesauce by putting homemade apple sauce into ziploc bags. They cut a corner off and suck the applesauce right out of it. We also make our own Gogurt type snacks the same way. For lunches, I freeze yogurt into ice cube trays, put 2 in a bag in the morning and it’s thawed by lunchtime.

  221. Sounds great!!Luck Charms!! Yummy! A grat snack kids will eat is simple just slice an apple and sprinkle cin & sugar! Yum!!

  230. Trail mix is the favorite snack. Also, cottage cheese with granola. It keeps you full and healthy.

  231. My kids love the Nutrigrain Bars and have tried and like the other cereal bars out there. I bet they would love these GM ones too!

  233. My son enjoys a peach fruit cup or apple with Pizza Doritos or a few cookies. Usually have homemade cookies but do pack store bought when I come across a good deal.

  234. My little guy is only in preschool three half days a week, so he’s famished by the time it’s over, i keep cut up cucumbers in water and sliced cheese cut in half for him. Simple and independance friendly!!

  247. I like cheddar cheese and grapes or apples for a snack. Then I wash it down with some diet soda to cut the phlegm.

    My son loves to melt cheddar cheese on top of triscuts in the microwave. Occasionally, he will add some peperoni on top. He also eats goldfish by the bowls full (almost a teen).

    String cheese and grapes or go-gurt are my daughters favorites.

  250. I love mixing green grapes, red grapes and cut up bananas and strawberries and sending it to school for a lunchtime “side dish”.

  266. Ever wonder what to do with the last bit of cereal in each box? No kid likes to eat the end of the box. My mom use to put them into another container, once she had enough she would make mixed cereal treats (like traditional rice krispie treats). Great snack!
