DealDash Frugal: Save Money on Snacks

Food is a big part of any household’s budget. Learn how to save money on snacks with information from DealDash.

Now that school is in session you will likely have kids coming home wanting something to eat. This happens even though it is not quite dinner time yet! This is where the after-school snack comes in but if you are not careful the after-school snacks you plan for your kids can become quite expensive. The following are some ways you can provide your kids with great after school snacks that won’t break the bank, from DealDash.

Make Snacks from Scratch

Making your own snacks for after school is a great way to save money. Prepackaged bags of chips and fruits can be very expensive. It is also a great idea as you can plan exactly what goes into the snacks that you are giving your kids. You can even prepare the after-school snacks on a weekend and have your kids assist with the snack preparation. You can, for instance, make big batches of cookies or muffins and freeze part of there batch for later consumption.

Take Advantage of Sales Flyers and Coupons

Using coupons and looking for sales are two more things you can do to save money on after-school snacks. You can, for example, use coupons to stock up on your children’s favorite snacks. You can also stock up on ingredients for snacks that you are going to prepare when they go on sale. Every little bit counts so with some planning and preparation you should be able to save a nice amount of money.

Keep it Simple

Looking for simple, inexpensive options for after-school snacks is another thing that can be done to save money. You don’t have to do anything expensive or fancy for snacks. You can cut up some fresh fruit or make a plate of cheese and crackers. It does not have to be anything big to munch on, just something to help tide your kids over until supper time so just keep it simple.
