I’m going to be putting many reviews off until the month of July. I’ve been very tired lately and nauseated from my pregnancy and I figure it’s for the best until I get to feeling better and have a bit more energy. I’ve wanted to sit and look at my computer for not very long lately and with feeling sick and caring for a two year as well as other responsibilities I feel this is for the best…just for a few more weeks.

Thanks for understanding!

Costco is one of my favorite stores to shop for bulk items of all kinds especially with a growing family! That’s right my family is growing from three to four and we are all pretty excited about it.

A few of the snacks we like to purchase from Costco include animal crackers, popcorn, nuts, dried fruit mix, and as of recently thanks to My Blog Spark and General Mills, Fruit Roll-Ups and Nature Valley’s Chewy Trail mix!

Now available at Club Stores, Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars and Simply Fruit Roll-Ups deliver great value and are perfect to have on hand for last minute day trips and even an afternoon in the backyard.

Not only nutritious, but convenient too, the club sized snacks are individually wrapped and ideal for throwing in your purse or travel bag, just in case your little one’s tummy starts to rumble.

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars are a delightful, 100% natural, combination of tastes and textures you’ll love. Now, you can get 25% more of the whole almonds, peanuts, raisins and cranberries in every bar! With no artificial flavors or colors and only 140 calories, Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Granola Bars also contain 8g of whole grain per serving.

Simply Fruit Roll-Ups are a better-for-you treat that kids love! Simply Fruit Roll-Ups are an excellent source of Vitamin C and are available in a convenient variety pack of Strawberry and Wildberry flavors. Every delicious roll is made with 90% real fruit and fruit juice and packs a full serving of fruit. Even more exciting? They’re gluten-free and contain only 50 calories per roll.

Overall Thoughts…

I will be looking to Costco again to purchase these great snacks. As a mom of a toddler and with a another baby on the way, I appreciate the convenience of how easy it is to throw these individually wrapped healthy snacks into my purse or diaper bag for a trip out! Great snacks at affordable prices that my whole family loves, I can state we have a winner!

Check out your local Club Store today for stock up packages of these delicious snacks and more!
