We’ve all been there. You’re just about to head to your car after a long afternoon and you’ll be home in less than an hour, but your stomach is growling. There it is again. The familiar teriyaki place is sounding good on the way home, along with every other restaurant you pass. The monetorium, however, is reminding you not to stop and spend unnecessary funds on a quick bite - you’ll be home soon where food is much cheaper. Don’t give in!
This is when you’ll appreciate having a snack on hand. Having something somewhat substantial will help tide you over and give you time to get home and make yourself a nice meal. Get a particular kind of snack you like in bulk, like a granola bar, a packaged cookie, anything small, non-perishable, and not too messy. Then, keep one in your bag and your car.
In some cases, you may just be thirsty and it can translate to a feeling of hunger. Try keeping a bottle of water in your car as well. It will go nicely with that granola bar. And be sure to replenish your bag or car when you’ve consumed your stash.
