I live in a rural part of the country that is classified as a "Food Desert" by the USDA. The healthy snack selections are hard to come by and if I can find them, they are ridiculously expensive. I never thought of myself as a snacker until I didn't have access to my go-to snacks! This is a list of my favorites!
I'm the first to admit, I'm not just frugal, I'm cheap. One of your biggest monthly expenses is food. It's especially hard as a single woman living alone. Things go bad before you can eat them up, and buying that smaller size always costs more in the long run. So food preservation is a must because buying in bulk is always going to save you more money.

In botanical terms, a berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower with seeds embedded in the flesh. By this definition, bananas qualify as berries because they develop from a single ovary and contain seeds (though they are tiny and not typically noticeable).
On the other hand, strawberries are considered "aggregate fruits" because they form from multiple ovaries of a single flower.

I love all things food in the fall. It's the start of all the comfort foods in my opinion.

Popcorn is my absolute favorite snack—there’s just something about its light, crunchy texture and satisfying buttery flavor that makes it irresistible. For the longest time, I thought nothing could compare to movie theater popcorn. That warm, freshly popped goodness, drenched in butter and perfectly salted, was my ultimate treat whenever I went to see a film. It had that signature aroma that filled the air, instantly making any movie feel like an experience. But then, I discovered how to make delicious popcorn at home, and my whole snacking game changed. Not only does homemade popcorn taste better, but it’s also fresher, customizable, and a fraction of the cost. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about hearing those kernels pop and watching them transform into fluffy, crunchy bites of perfection. It’s safe to say that my popcorn obsession has only grown stronger—except now, I don’t have to wait for a movie night to indulge in my favorite snack! 🍿✨

As a sommelier, drinking is literally part of my job — which is exactly why I love finding really good non-alcoholic options. I don’t always want the buzz, but I do want the ritual. The glass. The pause. The feeling of treating a moment as special. This list is made up of non-alcoholic wines and wine-style drinks I actually enjoy. They have flavor. They have texture. They feel grown-up and food-friendly — not like sweet juice pretending to be wine. I reach for these during Dry January, on busy weeknights, or anytime I want a glass in hand without the alcohol. If you miss bubbles, crisp whites, or something cozy to sip with dinner, these picks prove you don’t have to drink alcohol to enjoy the experience. 🍷✨
