Simple & Savvy
*Using Tuesday to Save Your Sanity {and Money}*
Are you ever too busy to eat a healthy-and-delicious-for-you meal? Do you like to have a quick snack on the run? It's a resounding YES & YES for me! With two kids and a husband who LOVES his snacks, I can spend a fortune on not-so-healthy foods for us. What is it about those pre-packaged foods and snacks that keep us buying them over {and over...and over!}? I would argue that CONVENIENCE plays a really big part of it.
Well, here is a Simple & Savvy idea for you to start trying out. It's an idea that I put into practice well over a year ago. We have been able to buy other things that we've really needed with the money saved by this Simple & Savvy act!
Here it is:
Buy a regular sized bag of your favorite snack. Buy a box of snack-sized bags. Go home. Measure -- yes, really MEASURE -- out a recommended serving size (give or take a few...haha!), and seal them in the snack bags.

That was it. Amazing, right?! Not only does it save you time when you're in a rush, but also saves you a lot of money in the end! I wish I would have known {or thought of} this YEARS AGO but, alas, I was too busy doing what I always did.
So, what are some of YOUR FAVORITE SNACKS? Leave me a comment below! I'm going to be doing something VERY SPECIAL with the responses!
Make it a great day!
