Product Rave

I love those 100 calorie snack packs.

Now, being Dutch, I'm...well...err...'thrifty'. I don't like paying alot for something I can get cheaper. So usually....why would I pay for someone to pre-portion my snacks for me, when I could just buy a big bag, and put them into 100 calorie servings (ziplocks) myself? Well....because I'd eat more than one 'ziplock' bag. Quite simply...

However, if I am paying $2.50 for a box of 6 '100 calorie' snacks, I'm not going to eat more than one a day. That would be too expensive! : ) So, that is why the 100 calorie snack packs have been helpful to me when making healthy choices. I literally am too cheap to over-eat them! : )

So far, you can buy all kinds of snackpacks:

  • Oreo Thinsations
  • Chips Ahoy Thinsations
  • Shortbread Thinsations
  • Peanut butter Thinsations
  • Ritz Thinsations
  • Nacho chips
  • Sun Chips
  • Cheetos
  • Cheesecake bars
  • Chocolate fudge bars
  • Granola bars
...and even more varieties in the States

Now they have some NEW snacks.
Oreo or Chips Ahoy "Candy bites"
- they are very much like m&m's. Candy coated shell, with oreo or chips- ahoy filling.

And my favourite this week:
Chocolate covered pretzels!

I love the sweet/salty combo. It's a fun snack!

Well Yvonne, tell me that these snacks have passed the grade if one were to pack one in a child's lunch . Can you be sure the school will not send home a note to gramma telling her to pack cheese strings instead ? Just wondering about that ...
