extra treats on our trip

I packed some trip food to eat along with the pesto rolls.  We took a bag of peeled baby carrots and two bags of marked down easter m & m's.  This will come from my slush fund.

Cost of car snacks:  $4.18
bag of carrots:  .99
2 bags m & m's: 3.19

M & M's make a good car treat  a) because they are chocolate.   Chocolate that melts in the mouth, not the hands, and, b) there are many little pieces, so they can be doled out along the way, and the snack can be strewn out over the miles and made to last just about the whole trip.

Carrots are a palate cleanser and guilt reducer.  Their crunch gives us something to do, too.
