As a busy mom of four, I’ve found that with the constant hustle and bustle of everyday life it’s so easy to grab prepackaged snacks on the fly. Depending on the day I’m packing 1-3 school lunches and throwing snacks to my two-year-old son in between meals or a hold-me-over until the next big meal or before an activity. There are all different types of prepackaged snacks, from chips and granola bars to cookies and fruit snacks. I’ve been more conscious over the years with checking out the ingredients – I especially try to avoid really any food dyes. I have a daughter that is negatively affected by Red 40, so I personally try to avoid bringing anything into our home with that ingredient. I am also conscious of the sugar content in prepared snacks. Here is a recent haul I did to stock up for packing lunches and a busy grab-n-go season of life!
![](https://i0.wp.com/frugalnthriving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Sams-Club-Snack-Haul.png?resize=960%2C960&ssl=1)
- Brainiac Brain Squeezers Applesauce was created by two dads plus a team of neurologists, nutritionists, and pediatricians. They are unsweetened with Omega-3 DHA/EPA and Choline and only have 2 grams of sugar.
- GoGo SqueeZ Fruit & VeggieZ Applesauce Pouches with Pedal Pedal Peach, which is a nutritious blend of apples, peaches and sweet potatoes; and Speedy Strawberry, which is made from apples, strawberries and zucchini.
- Mott’s Fruit Snacks are the only fruit snacks I have found that do not have Red 40 – I am conscious of certain ingredients as I have a kid who is negatively affected by them. Plus I generally try to stay away from products that have any kind of dyes.
- Dot’s pretzels in my family’s opinion are the best brand of pretzels. My kids always ask for the “red bag” of pretzel snacks, but I am a fan of most of the other varieties that they offer.
- Simply Chex is what I call a “fun snack” – it’s a less healthy option, but still not as bad as other snacks imo.
- Goldfish – Original is another “fun snack,” but out of all the flavors, the original is the best option if you’re like me and try to stay away from artificial flavorings.
- Sun-maid raisins with yogurt is a snack most of my kids like, and they’ll eat them plain, but I do like to switch out with the fun flavors like strawberry and vanilla.
- Made Good granola bars offer the nutrients of a whole serving of veggies and are pretty tasty with their fun flavorings.
- That’s It mini fruit bars are very simple, with just two ingredients and no added sugar. It’s an easy yes for me and kids love it because it’s simply fruit.
- Bear fruit rolls are a great substitution for fruit roll ups…there is no added sugar and my kids love the collectible cards that come in each pack.
- Airly crackers are not only made with whole grain oats and taste yummy, but they are also good for the environment too.
- Junkless granola bars are so tasty, I’m not sure who likes them more – me or the kiddos. Plus they have a full serving of vegetables so that’s a win for sure.
- Bobo’s are an interesting combination of a cookie and a granola bar. They are gluten- and dairy-free as well as organic and vegan too.
- Mr. Beast Feastable cookies are low in sugar content, plant-based and GF; for me a better option over Keebler and Chips A-hoy brands.
- Sunbelt Bakery granola bars have no preservatives in them and are made from whole grains.
- Kodiak chewy bars and bites are very filling with the amount of protein, and the bites are a nice replacement for the popular Teddy Graham cookies.

Kohl’s – There was a lot to unpack when shopping at Kohl’s this past weekend. I have 4 kids that I am shopping for and the choices that were available were borderline overwhelming! For the boys, the Adidas section was so stocked with lots of goodies; tops, sweatshirts, matching outfits…even their accessories were impressive too. For my daughters, it felt like the options were endless and we found so many great deals on their Jumping Beans and SO brands! Grab 20% off backpacks and lunch bags and check out the clearance rack with up to 85% off deals!
Walmart
Walmart – I have to say that Walmart impressed me with all of their BTS clothing options! They have a lot of basics to mix and match and their Garanimals line is so nice for the younger crowd. I happened to stumble upon their Free Assembly line and I was so impressed with the options to choose from! My daughter received a hoodie from the Justice line for her birthday, so I had to check out their back-to-school options and they did not disappoint! The price point starting from $3.98 and new styles are hard to beat this year!

It’s that time of year again…the summer is coming to a close and another school year approaches. What an array of mixed emotions that emerges from both and parents and students – you know what time it is…back-to-school shopping! We’ve done most of our BTS clothes shopping already and we thought that we would share the best deals that we found along the way!

Target offers a variety of great options for back-to-school shopping when it comes to their clothes and shoes. Target’s Cat & Jack line has been one of my go-to’s for years, and you can’t beat the $5 deals on leggings and tees. The leggings with the durable knees are offered in so many colors and patterns, so mixing and matching outfits is always fun. There is always a great selection for both boys’ and girls’ styles and often doesn’t disappoint. Don’t forget to shop the $7.99+ backpack deal too!

![](https://i0.wp.com/frugalnthriving.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Hammock-2.jpg?resize=592%2C789&ssl=1)
The perfect purchase for summer! This lightweight hammock chair is great for lounging poolside, cheering on your kiddos at a sporting event, or curling up in the shade with a good book and a cold drink! It’s also ideal for camping or taking on-the-go, because it folds up nice and easy and is super simple to set back up.
This 6-bottle wine cooler is a classy addition to any home! Chill your favorite bottles with smart cooling technology and temperature controls. This makes a great gift…Kristy grabbed it for a wedding gift for her sister-in-law!
Kristy’s daughter loves Squishmallows – how cute is this kitty backpack?! It has a small zipper pouch in the back to keep little knick-knacks like chapstick or money, and it has backpack straps for easy carrying!
These lip balms are so sweet for your Squishmallows fan! These make a great stocking stuffer.
And this book is available for pre-order, but grab it now so you’ll be first in line to get it when it releases! Gift it to any Squishmallows lover for quick, encouraging doses of positivity and humor!
Kristy picks a different charity every year to support (check out our Poshmark Closet where proceeds get donated at the end of the year) and these Disney Squishmallows will make great gifts come this holiday season!
Kristy grabbed these stickers for teacher gifts – her daughter and son’s teachers love giving these out for rewards and encouragement! This is also great for the gift closet…you never know when you’ll need a last-minute gift, and stickers are always a fun idea.
These Super Mario Oreos were on preorder during W+ Week – and Kristy has a couple Super Mario fans in her house (did you see her son’s Super Mario-themed birthday party?!) that devoured them!
This LeapFrog Magic Adventures Microscope was a really popular item this year – it’s currently sold out. Kristy was only able to order it for pickup and then unfortunately had to cancel the order, but she’s keeping her eye out for it to come back in stock. Her kids love educational games like this, and the learning options with this one are endless!

If you’ve had enough of the cold weather and the shorter days of sunlight, a tropical beach vacation may be just what you need. If your trip to paradise is already planned, it’s time to start figuring out what you’re going to wear! And if you’re still only dreaming of warmer weather, maybe these dreamy beach looks will be the inspiration you need to get that vacation booked! See these bright, beautiful bathing suit looks from Walmart below.
![](https://i0.wp.com/frugalnthriving.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Walmart-Vacation-Looks.png?resize=645%2C460&ssl=1)
A fashion-forward bathing suit, a cute coverup, a beachy tote bag, a stylish pair of sandals, and a floppy sun hat or sleek watch will have you ready to lay back in your lounge chair beside the waves and soak up the sun (or nap in the shade, if that’s more your thing). Just add a piña colada and you are set for the ultimate day of relaxation and rejuvenation. Play some beach games, take a dip in the water, or have a sandy photoshoot…whatever vacation activity you choose, you’ll look good doing it.
