Just a tip since you have other people to appease also - Maybe you can try getting some healthier snacks that the boys might also eat? I mean, chocolate covered rasins are a step up from just chocolate, and yogurt covered rasins are also pretty good. If you're eaters of ice cream, try getting sorbet (no dairy, less sugar!). Yogurts are good too for a sugar fix - cherry white chocolate anyone? lol! And of course baked potato chips, or they have all sorts of falvoured rice snacks now. Besides, if they're old enough to learn the value of money, you can take them to the corner store and they buy goodies for themselves (think sour keys and other 25 cent candies, with company at first). Anyway its just a way to get some of the junk food out of the house or at least give you better options when your in a pinch (hey and if you get rid of all junk food, you can join the kids in the cheap candie! lol Good way to reward yourself when you're doing well :P
