Buying that pallet of individual chip bags was a good idea because they are already portioned, but it was a bad idea because I eat them with lunch instead of grabbing a fruit or vegetable (and then I am lacking in nutrients and eating empty calories). Next time I need to stock up on carrot sticks and apples instead. Plus they are less expensive.
