Homemade trail mix tonight! Went to the dollar tree, bought 1 bag of chex mix, 1 jar of peanuts, 1 bag of cashews, 2 boxes of m&ms. $5 and 14 bags of trail mix for the week!
(Edit: for everyone asking the white balls are acaí berry yogurt balls that I had also gotten from the dollar tree previously. The bags are small so only a few got them!)
What quick “grab and go” easy snacks do you make for the week??
