Leave snacks in your pocket or backpack to save money

Postby augusta » 24 Nov 2023, 09:07

Are you a snack person that craves it at any time of the day. Then it is time to reduce the cost and save money by moving around with your own snacks. They are some places that you get to and cost of snacks is higher. So you can save yourself and money by carrying your cheaply bought snacks around. You wouldn't have to buy the expensive snacks at some places and money is saved.

I always bring water with me and sometimes, when I know I can take a little longer, I put some homemade cookies in my bag, they are healthier and cheaper than store bought ones.

The snacks you would be leaving in your backpack, were they not still bought? Or were there gifts? If they were bought, nothing is being saved there.

I call these mini-meals.

When going out, I pack drinks and small treats.

As an example, a few weeks ago, I bought a box of cheese crackers for the backseat of my roommate's car. That way, if a person gets weak, they have something to hold them over until they get home.

I think this works to help control impulse eating that might end you up in an expensive eatery when you are out.

I was out today and out later than planned. I usually pack a lunch but didn't. I did take drinks there, but not food. I was at the cafe and people were ordering their lunches.

My roommate still works there.

So, the problem is I do not carry cash. I use a debit card and the cafe only accepts cash.

I asked if I may have lunch and pay as soon as I could.

After work, my roommate took me to the bank where I got $4.00 cash out from my debit card.

Even though I don't do snacks, I share the same sentiments. It is a smart strategy for people that use it to curb expensive lunches.

It's a great strategy and this way you will be feeling confident as you can eat whenever you want but in case you don't have any snacks then you need to find a suitable place to buy snacks

I have used this before. And ironically, I didn't feel hungry for a long time that day. Maybe I the confidence that I had snacks froze the hunger.

I need to pack a lunch for tomorrow. I am going to be leaving early and want to have some mini meals packed tonight.

Then, I know what drinks I am taking, but am clueless about food.

I do not want any peanut butter sandwiches. I can't consume a whole package of cookies!

I should have been prepared and should have prepared egg salad.

If tonight, if I fry French fries in the air fryer, place in the fridge in a container, would the French fries get hard overnight? I lack common sense.

I ended up cooking the French fries in the air fryer right before leaving. When I got to my outing, I was starving and the French fries were still warm!

What are some treats that I could buy at the dollar store to have for when in need?
