Even the most organised home makers can run out of snacks. Whether you shop online or at the supermarket once a week, how can you be sure you'll have your family's favourite snacks ready when they need them? It’s those after school snacks, movie night treats and weekend choccies that can be easily missed off the shopping list. If lockdown and a change in shopping habits whilst navigating the Covid-19 pandemic is leaving your snack levels low, follow these top tips to avoid snack emergencies in your house:
The best way to ensure you never run out of your favourite snacks and treats again is to sign up for a snack subscription. Snack boxes have become very popular during lockdown, as a way for families and individuals to ensure their snack cupboards are well stocked and to avoid unnecessary trips to the shops. With snack subscriptions you can choose what snacks you want and how often you want them delivered.
Even the most organised snack shopper can be thwarted by the presence of a serial snacker! One moment you think the cupboards are full and the next someone has had a snack attack and emptied the lot. If you regularly notice the treats going missing, it might be a good idea to limit access to snacks, particularly to stop younger children from over indulging. Locks on the cupboard may be a step too far, but hiding a stash of snacks in a place only you can find them, might make them last longer.
The days of ad hoc shopping and popping to the store every time you run out of one or two items are currently behind us. As the world continues to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, shoppers are being advised to plan ahead, to limit unnecessary trips to the shops and therefore minimise the risk of spreading the virus. By planning ahead, you can not only do your bit to keep everyone safe and healthy but you can ensure that you always have the snacks and treats you need in stock. Making a shopping list on paper or on your phone and setting up calendar reminders before you shop will ensure you buy what’s on your list. Also keep a notepad handy around the house to jot things down as soon as you run out, so you can add to your next shopping list.
Finding a spare cupboard (what is one of those?) in your kitchen and designating it the ‘snack cupboard’ will help keep your treats in one place and make it easy to see when stock levels are low. Get easy access to your snacks and make the most of your cupboard space with these treat cupboard hacks:
