Beautiful Jesus, how may I bless Your heart?
Knees to the earth I bow down to everything You are.

You are my only worth.

This is my only my 3rd entry for the Works for Me Wednesday postings, and already I'm racking my brain all week long trying to think of what I do that may be a useful tip to someone else.
I'm calling this week's entry the "Never ending snack mix jar".
About a year ago I purchased a large container of animal crackers. (The 4lb bucket at S@ms Cub.) Once my kids emptied it, I decided to set that up as our Snack mix jar.
The key to the "Never ending snack mix jar" is to keep a steady supply of pretzels - Since I do my "staple" shopping once a month, every month I buy a few bags of pretzels (usually not more than $1 a bag - I stock up when they are on sale) I also add a big bag of miniature marshmallows and a bag of chocolate chips to my grocery list.
Every Monday I pour a bag of pretzels into the jar, and I scoop a cup or so of EITHER marshmallows or chocolate chips in with them. I usually alternate between the chocolate chips and marshmallows weekly. I then check our cereal boxes and if there isn't enough cereal in a box for both kids to have a bowl I add this to our jar mixture. Through the week as they eat cereal for breakfast, whenever a box gets low, the remaining cereal is added as well.
The mixture is always changing, and the bucket is rarely empty (I can always add a bag of pretzels if it's low). At snack time they shake up the jar and fill up a snack size Zipl0c baggie with the "ever changing", "never ending" snack mix.
This is a great WFMW idea! Thanks for sharing!
