Single serving hummus cups. (180 cal)
Karma probiotic water (20 cal)
Cinnamon churro almonds (150 cal)
What are your go to items?

I love both Sam's and Costco, but rarely buy individually packed snacks. Instead, I buy (and save!) bulk nuts, granola, rice cakes, nut butters and dried fruit to make up my own pre-measured snack bags. I will buy their protein bars and absolutely crave those BelVita breakfast biscuits.

Bulk bags of beef jerky. I like Costco’s Pacific Gold brand. Low cal, great protein boost.

When I was a kid my mom occasionally made homemade beef jerky in the oven for dad’s hunting trips, and it was a world class treat for us to get a piece, but it was disastrously messy, so she rarely made it.

I’ve made some in a dehydrator, but it’s such a pain to slice, and clean the trays I don’t bother anymore.

But anyway, beef jerky has happy associations

Good choice! I love jerky, but rarely buy it since I want to eat the entire package in one go.
The trick to slicing the meat is to throw it into the freezer and slice while it's still semi-frozen. Drying a bit in a low temp oven before transferring to the dehydrator plus spraying the trays with cooking oil makes clean-up a breeze.

I do really enjoy Sam's Club's The Better Nut Bar with dark chocolate and sea salt. They are fairly low in added sugar and are mostly nuts, not a lot of oat & rice crisp fillers. They also have stupid-cheap plain Greek yogurt, and giant bags of frozen sliced strawberries. I usually find their produce to be hit and miss on whether it's a lower price than Winco, but sometimes they have really good grapes or Sungold Kiwis, or a great price on huge pineapples... and their in-house sushi is awesome. I will say they seem to get in some exclusive types of produce that I don't see elsewhere. Oh and I love their big container of unpitted dates!

Not sure if it's a snack or not, but I love the Member's Mark guacamole cups on low cal toast with Daisy cottage cheese and everything bagel seasoning. Usually around 200-300 calories, lots of protein (from the cottage cheese), and it's filling!
