None. If I crave for something crunchy I eat carrots or nuts. If I want to eat sweets I make my own brownies, marzipan or chocolate chip cookies. And if I really want to each chips/crisps I make my own batch.
The only one we keep stocked is milk. We make all kinds of desserts at home, like ice creams, cakes, pies, and pastries, but they never stay around for long.
None. If it’s here, I’m eating it. I sometimes bring some home on grocery day but it’s always gone that day.
Usually, pototo chips, chocolate covered pretzels, gummies, chocolate cover gummies.
Unsalted cashew nuts and french fries. The nuts I eat as is and usually run out by the end of the week. French fries I toss into the air fryier when ever I don’t feel like cooking.
I miss trader Joe’s dried chili mango and candied hibiscus, their entire dried fruit section really.
candied hibiscus? like the flower is candied?
Hibiscus flowers are full of vitamin c, and taste like cranberries!
I had no idea. that sounds delicious.
the flower petals are so thin, how thick is the candy coating?
Girardhelli brownie mix. Not claiming it’s the best ever but it’s 100x better than the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines crap. But there’s also the barrier of 5-10 mins prep and 25+ mins baking so it’s not instant gratification y’know?
Once you bake a pan though it’s pretty great for the next day or two. Assuming you’re not too concerned with your waistline.
Chips and hummus, sometimes B*tchin’ Sauce
Gotta have peanut M&Ms
Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews… Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there’s the spiced and coated varieties
Breakfast bars. They’re not just for breakfast!
I’m also partial to chips & salsa.
Anything remotely resembling a snack will not be left for long so we don’t keep anything.
Yep. The only way to prevent daily snacking is by not having snacks in the house.
Same here. That’s why I try to stock up on more than I think I’ll need when things go on sale.
The two types of mentalities on display:
- I’ll eat too much so I shouldn’t buy any
- I’ll eat too much so I should buy more

Microwave popcorn. It’s convenient enough that I can make it easily any time, but just inconvenient enough that it doesn’t all get horked down on the first day.
I find that stove top popcorn is even less convenient (so less tempting to eat all the time), but much cheaper, and maybe tastier in some ways.
Get a ~500 g (1 lb or so?) bag of whole kernels for $3-ish, some oil that you use for cooking other stuff anyway, and salt. Heat the oil on the stove with a few kernels, then when those pop, briefly remove from heat and add more. Make sure the pot has a lid. Keep shaking it side to side to keep the popcorn from burning.
I find it adds just enough oil to taste good, but not so much that I’m eating something super awful for me. (And it’s much tastier than air popped). And I assume you could still add melted butter if you want an extra treat.
I want to get one of those movie theatre style things where the popcorn can fly out of the pot.
I have one that’s this style and I use it a lot. I got my parents this other kind though and think it works better
Pocky Sticks… so many Pocky Sticks!!
Reese’s Pieces.
Redbull. It’s not quite what was asked, but it’s about the only thing that is always stocked.
