How to keep snacks from getting crushed in your purse

I’m always carrying around snacks in my purse for my daughter Ally, 4. I always want to carry a variety of choices for Ally, so I toss granola bars and small bags of Goldfish crackers, animal crackers and pretzels in my purse. But whatever snacks don’t get picked will stay in my purse and I’ll find them a couple of days later at the bottom of my bag reduced to crumbs and dust.

So one day, I took a quart-size plastic sealable bag and put her snacks into that and then right before I sealed it shut, I blew air into the bag to inflate it. The air cushions the snacks inside the bag from getting crushed when my purse gets tossed around. Now Ally’s snacks stay in good shape no matter how long they’ve been in my purse.

And I can find the snacks easier since they’re all together in one sealed bag.
