Are you familiar with Save-A-Lot Stores? Save-A-Lot stores feature Great Food, Great Prices, and Great People! I recently went shopping at Save-A-Lot in Independence, MO in search of super easy Back-to-School Snack Ideas! Check out what I found, and Find a Save-A-Lot Near You!
After shopping in the store, I came up with a delicious homemade snack mix recipe that has a “secret” ingredient that will quickly become everyone’s favorite ingredient in this snack mix… Caramel Mini Rice Cakes! These are seriously delicious and addictive. My 6 year old wanted to eat those first and kept wanting more. 🙂 This is the yummiest snack mix I’ve ever had… the Caramel Rice cakes are a MUST-HAVE in this snack mix recipe!
Plus, Save-A-Lot has lots of great ready made Snack Mixes that are perfect for Back-to-School and after school snacks, like Pistachio Chewy Bites and Chex Mix too! Here you can see some ready-made snack mixes we bought, and ingredients we used in our Super Easy Rice Cake Snack Mix:
Ingredients for Super Easy Rice Cake Snack Mix:
J. Higgs Caramel Rice Snacks (Save-A-Lot brand)
J. Higgs Honey Roasted Peanuts (Save-A-Lot brand)
Tipton-Grove California Style Raisins (Save-A-Lot brand) or Dried Cranberries (or both!)
J. Higgs Mini Pretzels (Save-A-Lot brand)
Kiggins Honey Nut Rollin’ Oats (Save-A-Lot brand)
The amount of each ingredient you use is ultimately personal preference and also depends on the size of batch you need. I made a small batch, with around 1/4 – 1/2 cup of each ingredient (with some extra Caramel Rice Snacks, since those were our favorite. 🙂
Notice that we used lots of Save-A-Lot brand ingredients in this snack mix and it was delicious! I recommend buying EXTRA of the Caramel Rice Cakes. 🙂
Save-A-Lot also has other great after school snack ideas! We found these Whole-Wheat Ritz crackers and Cheddar string cheese, and these scrumptious little pudding cups.

I used to shop at Save a lot. I miss it. We don’t live near one anymore.
Yumm.. This food looks so good and what a great offer on it! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait for the Save-A-Lot store near me to open. I use to shop at them in CT and you can save a lot of money shopping there.
Yummy! That rice cake snack looks so good! Gonna have to try that!
I would buy food to fill my freezer with the gift card. There is one down the street from my house.
A little bit of everything ..Fruit, veggies,meat and maybe a snack or two.
I’d buy a few groceries, always nice when they’re free.
Since my son has a nut allergy I love making our own snack mixes, bars and such. It’s always so much better since we can pick and choose the things that we want in them and make more for less.

I’d stock up on snacks like fruit snacks pudding cups and breakfast cereal bars!

My daughter is an extremely picky eater-to the point of crying/freaking out when a new food is placed in front of her. To ensure that she gets a nutritious and full lunch at school I have to pack for her-so I’d be buying healthy snacks and meal items (that we definitely need help with at this point).
