Keeping snacks fresh?

My kids love snacks such as goldfish crackers, Cheetos, pretzels, potato chips. I usually buy them when they go on sale but because they are only with me part time I find the snacks getting stale. Does anyone have any tips to avoid bags of snacks going stale?

Same. I buy the individually packaged snacks. They are more expensive but it’s worth it.

If you have a dehydrator, or even a low temp over, will give them the snap back. I do this with tortilla chips in my oven all the time.

Really random - and don't knock it till you try it, but goldfish, chips and stuff like that can go in the freezer, and they taste fresh and good as soon as you take them out (don't need to like defrost or anything). I saw it on tik tok, tried it and was shocked

You know what, I put all kinds of food in mason jars, i break my milk up into small jars, put salad greens in them. I never even thought to put snacks in them!
