Cheap snack options are one of my top priorities right now. As a mom of three in the middle of a pandemic, few things have become as important as having many snack options for my kids. But, seriously, how is it that my children are always so hungry?
As usual, it is Costco to the rescue with snacks for kids all under $10.
For the last few months and heading into the fall, I have noticed that one of my biggest priorities while grocery shopping is getting snacks for my family.
This list is the essential snacks that I always keep in the pantry for my kids. Each one is under $10 and will keep your kids content before dinner. Looking for healthier snack options? Check out my favorite vegan snacks lists here.

Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a soccer game, or you are doing an independent play at home, having easy-to-access snacks is really important.

Goldfish Snack Packs
Goldfish crackers are one of the best things to happen to childhood, in my opinion. Even the pickiest of eaters like them, and they complement almost any meal.
I’ve added these goldfish Packs as a simple side to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or even gotten fancier by adding it to tomato soup.
These snack packs are a dream come true for keeping kids content and full.

This box comes with 28 snack bags and is the perfect addition to help liven up any boring old lunch.
Harvest Snap Peas
Okay, I admit it- the Harvest Snap Peas bag that I purchase from Costco is as much for me as it is for my kids. I know this article is about cheap kid snacks, but these taste so great I usually pour myself a bowl with my kids.
