5 Best Walgreens Snacks

We all know you can pop into Walgreens for a flu shot or a new toothbrush or discount post-Halloween candy, but don’t overlook the snack aisle. Here are seven tantalizing treats we recommend scooping up the next time you’re perusing the shelves at your local ‘greens.

Nice! Dried and Sweetened Mango Slices: Let’s start on the “healthier” side of things, and temper our taste buds with delicious slices of dried mango. Succulently sweet and not as bad for you as gummy candy, the store brand’s dried mango slices are a reliable snack when you want to get a few vitamins as well as a sugar boost.
Oh Snap! Dilly Bites: Dilly Bites don’t include any added brine, which makes these crunchy pickle slices easy to enjoy on the go (which is when we always seem to need a pickle most, am I right?). Plus, Sporked ranked them as some of the best dill pickles.
Taste of Nature Birthday Cake Cookie Dough Bites: Ok, now it’s time to go full-on treat mode! Everything’s better now that “birthday cake” has entered the mainstream flavor-option lexicon. These morsels of cookie dough in a coating of white frosting with sprinkles give you a blast of funfetti flavor without the hours you need to set aside to bake a birthday cake for yourself.
Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars Cherry and Pomegranate: You can never go wrong when you’re in Nature Valley (we’ve gotta book a trip to that place one day…) but we decided to recommend a flavor a bit off the beaten path! The delectable blend of cherry and pomegranate liven up any bagged lunch, and at six bars for less than five dollars, it amounts to one heck of a deal.
Cheez-It Snack Mix: We’re rounding things out with a stone-cold classic. If your standard snack mix is always missing the unique baked-in warmth of the noble Cheez-It, then consider all your worldly problems solved. Cheez-It Snack Mix has it all: pretzels, bagel chips, cheesy rice balls, and of course the star of the show whose name is on the marquee. Perfect for on-the-go gobbling.
