I just started a new job and it seems that on tuesdays and wednesdays, i won't be able to get to lunch until later since i have to wait for packages to come.

I feel like i'm going to pass out from low blood sugar. What refrigerated and non-refrigerated snacks do you guys keep around the office to munch on? I'm just going to load up and munch on snacks these 2 days of the week :D

I have a container of salted peanuts in my desk right now, but I do need to get some more snacks. Granola bars, fruit, and donuts sound good about now.

Pop tarts (i know, not healthy) .. usually have 1 package in the morning as it's the closest thing to breakfast I get.
Granola bars (usually 1 box of chewy and 1 box of crunchy) ... I just buy the cheap ones from Aldi's.
Goldfish. I like to munch on Goldfish sometimes.
Chips, nuts, sunflower seeds, and pistachios are good, but kinda messy. I don't bring them in very often, but every now and again I do.

I don't bring refrigerated stuff in other than an insulated lunch bag, which sometimes contains carrots and a sammich.

I keep protein bars and unsalted almonds in my office, otherwise I end up eating crap from the mall or cafeteria.

Protein bars and packages of porridge. Not really anything special. But I know if I had a lot of snacks I would just eat them nonstop and get fat.

I don't eat anything other than lunch while at work. Though sometimes while waiting for the bus to take home, I'll step into CVS and buy a lil summat.

I have a file cabinet drawer full of chocolate. Whenever people give me chocolates or something I just toss it in this drawer because I don't really want it. All the girls here help themselves when... you know...

I keep it in my cabinet because I have the only one in our department that doesn't have an open bottom and we had a critter that was helping him or herself to food in other people's drawers.

I used to keep oatmeal or cream of wheat in case I felt like I needed a bite in the morning, but then I just stopped replacing it when I finished it.

...when you're away from your desk? :p


I keep Snickers bars (which sometimes serve as breakfast), granola bars, and I've been meaning to bring in some cashews. There is also a "snack bar" nearby.
