Family, kids, school, sports, playdates…the life of a mom is a busy life. A busy life spent catering to others and often those other’s are hungry and thirsty. We must provide for those needs and regardless of if we’re having a backyard playdate or at this weeks soccer game the next county over, we need convenient options for making that happen. My solution, a super easy DIY Portable Snack station filled with the perfect mix of NABISCO snacks.
I say NABISCO snacks because not every snacker wants the same thing and now moms, dads, teachers, and coaches can pick, pack and snack on their own custom mix of NABISCO snacks. It’s a great way to stock up on the snacks that everyone will love and they’re perfect for soccer snacks, packing lunches or just to have a delicious treat ready to go when you are.
Now I’m a girl that likes to be in the know so I stopped by an event at our local WalMart last weekend that was featuring this new way to snack. Thank goodness they had me covered with these sassy bags to carry my loot once I made my selections. Plus the kids just think it’s cool to get their own bag and make their own life altering decisions.
If you’re lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID) like me, then you should be able to find one of these snack stations at your local WalMart as well. Your grub choices include:
- NUTTER BUTTER Cookies
- OREO Cookies
- RITZ HANDI-SNACKS Crackers ‘N Cheese Dip
- OREO HANDI-SNACKS Cookie Sticks ‘N Creme Dip
- NEWTONS Real Fruit Chewy Cookies
- RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwiches
- CHIPS AHOY! Cookies
- Mini CHIPS AHOY! Cookies
- Mini OREO Cookies
- TEDDY GRAHAMS Graham Snacks

March 24, 2016 at 4:39 pmOh, this is so cute! I love how you incorporated the magnetic strip and used the clothes pins! What a clever idea – this way they’re easily replaceable, etc. And you can use all of those items later. Love those cookies, too! 🙂

March 25, 2016 at 6:56 pmThat is so cute and creative! I never would’ve thought to clip the snack bags to the side – genius. That’s sure to be a hit with the kids this Summer when we’re out at cookouts. Thanks so much for sharing.
