Ever since I was younger I’ve loved fruit roll-ups! What kid doesn’t? But they were always so expensive. Sometimes they are $3-5 for a 8-12 pack. Basically 50 cents a snack.
However with the emergence of the bulk size stores, like Costco, you can buy bulk size packages and end up getting a better deal.
Costco has two great items now available in their Club stores you may want to look for on your next shopping trip.
Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix bars are a healthy alternative to chips or something like that. Each bar is only 140 calories filled with almonds, peanuts, raisins and cranberries.
Simply Fruit Roll-Ups are a better for you treat that every kid I know love. Adults too! The variety pack includes Strawberry and Wildberry flavors. Each one of these snacks is only 50 calories!

My favorite healthy snack is a big bag of nuts like pistachios or peanuts. My kids love cracking open the shells and I’m glad that they’re not eating something sugary.
I love to buy healthy snacks like Orville Redenbacher popcorn in a jar, which I pop in my hot air popper. I also purchase things like ranch and cheddar flavored Quaker rice Quakes, organic almonds, fat free string cheese, fat free greek yogurt and fresh berries. Our family loves all of these and I’m happy knowing they are not eating overly processed junk.
I love their baked potato chips when I can get them…..and also the Orville Reddenbacher light popcorn
