Do any of you have any ideas for keeping snacks on hand and hidden?

I don't have any advice to offer, but I am right there with you. I just went out today to replenish our snacks--it seems like I have to do it every 3 days or so. I'm interested to hear if anyone has any ideas. I just think that teens snack a lot, and as long as they're relatively healthy snacks, I'm OK with it. My kids are pretty active, neither of them have any weight issues, and they eat pretty regular meals. But it is very hard to keep up!

At the risk of sounding like a real tightwad, I buy off-brand and bulk snacks to have on hand for when all the neighborhood kids are here.

Our house has become the hangout house too and I could not be happier.

Thanks for all the great ideas


I like having the kids at my house so I guess I will have start stocking up and stashing the goods. I thought about the trunk of the car, and it might work this time year. Texas summers are killer so I think it would be best to use the bins at least during the hot months.

Last year we gave the kids a commercial popcorn machine for Christmas.
