Those vending machines or quick stops to grab a bite while out are major leaks in so many pockets.<br /><br />moofam -- I have to agree, having healthy stuff on hand, already in consumable form encourages the kids to eat it. I haven't had a lot of luck finding marked down produce, but it is a benefit to have lots of mouths to munch on it when we do come across it! :-)6intowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876114074346230740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-88126482683147962632009-05-06T10:18:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:18:00.000-05:00POpcorn is our FAVORITE snack:) I also find that c...POpcorn is our FAVORITE snack:) I also find that carrots and celery and even cucumbers are gobbled up if they are cut up and ready to go. Sometimes I will find a bag of cukes or even pears one time that are marked down because they are ready to be eaten. Because there are seven of us we can easily eat these quickly.moofam@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-34424972245680386982009-05-05T22:51:00.000-05:002009-05-05T22:51:00.000-05:00Yes, snacks drive me crazy!

Especially with three boys, but I make sure I keep them in the car so we do not stop for these items when we have our long days.<br /><br />I also keep a cooler in the car for water and juice.<br /><br />Gotta love REAL popcorn! Not that fake stuff in the micro. :)Wifeof1Momof4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02636260634163535147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-27384953842947274902009-05-05T21:40:00.000-05:002009-05-05T21:40:00.000-05:00I'm not sure where there is a Meijer near me.

I keep a grocery store spreadsheet so I buy some things at Costco, Amazon grocery, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and occasionally, Jewel or another store.~Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022756326428884844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-7425679563616053362009-05-05T21:34:00.000-05:002009-05-05T21:34:00.000-05:00~M, welcome!

I shop other stores sporadically, but those two get the bulk of my grocery dollars.<br /><br />Do you have stores you prefer over others? I tend to shop what I know.<br />~Erin6intowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876114074346230740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-50136960878384348092009-05-05T21:27:00.000-05:002009-05-05T21:27:00.000-05:00I live in the Chicagoland area too!
