    Since my oldest is hypoglycemic and sensitive to high fructose corn syrup and other additives, I try to buy organic whenever I can. My biggest problem is finding something that she'll like that she won't consider "too healthy to taste good." Plus it's very expensive to buy organic snacks, and I have a difficult time finding decent deals on them at our local grocery.

    I like to get affordable, healthy treats for children, but I also like ones my older ones fix for themselves!

    My 2 yr old is so picky it is hard to get him to eat healthy snacks. But I do try to get him to healthy as often as I can. I also like to get snacks that are affordable.Coupons are my friends!

    My daughter is in college now but I'm proud to say that she looks for healthy snacks because that's just the way she eats (thanks to me :) )

    I want healthy food, but if my kids refuse to eat it then there's not much use of the product. I have to supplement and hide foods as best I can.

    A healthy snack is most important, but in these times price also is a big factor when feeding my family.

    I try to keep it healthy but I coupon shop and look for sales. It's not always a perfect system but I'm not letting her have junk food either

    Health and price are my top two. I have 2 kids and I work full time, and I manage one child's ADHD with an additive-free, sugar-free diet.
