Money Saving Tip #10: Make Your Own 100 Calorie Packs


The 100 Calorie Packs at the grocery store can be quite expensive. Instead of spending up to $1.00 per package, make your own for less than $0.15 each. Buy a snack in bulk and package it yourself. You can get a handful of pretzels, animal crackers, and even marshmellows. Check the nutrition label to see what constitutes a hundred calories. They vary item to item. Package them in small reusable plastic containers for easy transport.

Bonus Tip: You burn more calories chewing celery than you do consuming it. It will be nearly impossible to make a hundred calorie pack with this snack!
