7 Cheap Bulk Snacks for Teens: Save $30 a Week & No Oven Needed!
Bulk prepping food for teens at home is a real money-saver, especially when work hours keep you away.
When the grocery budget is tight, I always go for the basics: pasta salads, bean burritos, and big batches of fried rice. A huge tub of pasta salad (with whatever veggies are on sale, some cheese cubes, and Italian dressing) lasts days in the fridge and is filling.
Burritos are easy too—just cook up a bunch of beans, rice, and some taco seasoning, then wrap in tortillas and stash in the fridge. They can microwave them in seconds.
For snacks, popcorn is super cheap and can be made in bulk, and peanut butter sandwiches or celery sticks with ranch are always on hand. I also make a big batch of hard-boiled eggs and keep them peeled in a container. If you catch cheese or lunch meat on sale, roll-ups are quick and satisfying. Bulk prepping on Sunday keeps everyone fed and the kitchen safe during the week.
