Bottom line
Sometimes, hunger can throw restraint out the window, and impulse snacking is often more expensive and less satisfying than keeping pre-planned snacks on hand.
Trader Joe's has new shelf-stable snacking options that are great to keep in pantries, cars, or at your desk for emergencies that might otherwise lead to an unscheduled Starbucks or fast food option that costs more.
