This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Ritz.
I’ve mentioned before that I could seriously make a meal out of cheese and crackers (and a little fruit thrown in for good measure) and I often do that for lunch. I think a lot of women could get by on less food if we didn’t have our hubbies to worry about. Cheese and crackers definitely won’t cut it for my man, but when left to my own wishes, I will choose a lunch of cheese and crackers many times.
Last year, I got a chance to try out Ritz Crackerfuls and really enjoyed them and this year, they have even more flavors, like Cheddar Cheese and Bacon. YUM, could that combo be any better? I received a few sample packs in the mail and have been munching away. 
These are great for grabbing on the go. Each one is individually wrapped in cellophane to keep it fresh and sometimes when I’m on the way to the gym, I just need something to tide me over until I can get a real meal. These will do the trick and keep those hunger pangs at bay!
My days aren’t always predictable and can vary from day to day, from gym time to running errands and grocery shopping, to antiques browsing and yardsaling, so I spend a good bit of time on the run.
Each is made with 6 grams of whole grains and real cheese, so you can feel good about what you are eating and know that it is substantial enough to keep you going until you have time for your next meal.
I try not to snack a whole lot in between meals, but there are times I don’t have time to really sit down and eat, so that’s when one of these generously sized Crackerfuls will come in handy. Grab and go, easy and fast in the car and on the run. That’s where I am many days and I imagine you are too.
So, tell me what you do to tide you over between meals? What sort of things do you grab on the go to satisfy your hunger when you really don’t have time for a substantial lunch?

I like to munch on grapes to tide me over till dinner.
I love cheese and crackers. I’m with you, it could be my meal.
I love cheese–could pretty much live on it, I think. I love the Crackerfuls as a snack. They taste great!
I try to grab fruit, but if I don’t have it available, I tend to eat cheese & crackers or cereal bars.
Thanks so much for offering this wonderful giveaway. I just recently tried these crackerfuls and love them!

Not very creative but my main staple would be water! Water with lemon or lime slices help keep me hydrated and quench my hunger as well as make me feel full before I eat so I won’t over eat. Other than that I love keeping peanut butter cheese crackers or protein bars in my purse for a quick snack. Even a bag of low fat sugar free gummies help!
When I’m in a real hurry, like “the only thing I can think about besides this painful hunger is getting myself outside of that door and go to my destination”, I usually grab a can of Sprite. It’s water and sugar, and a very cheap source of energy too. The sugar gets inside your blood stream soon enough and it definitely helps you to go on until your next meal.
I like to munch on dried cranberries, mixed with almonds for a quick snack, sometimes I throw in some dried banana chips – if I’m running errands all day, I’ll put some in a snack bag, put in my purse & eat it when I start feeling hungry. Helps me stay away from the fast food places.
I usually munch on crackers…..Ritz, Wheat Thins, or even animal crackers!! Great giveaway.
Love crackers, love cheese and love cash…what is not to like? Thanks for another great give away!
I try to keep some fresh fruit out for us to snack on.
I love Crackerfuls! And the bacon and cheese ones, oof, too awesome!
I like to grab a cheese stick and a handful of crackers when I can’t sit down for lunch. I need to look for the Crackerfuls!
I usually eat an orange or some mixed nuts and cheese for a quick snack between meals. I also have an Emergen-C packet that I keep for beverage.
I haven’t seen these in the store yet but will definitely be looking! I think these appear to be quite healthy too. I love crackers, a bit of cheese and some fruit as a light meal or snack. I also like nuts but cannot eat many. 🙁
grab cashews, carrots or cheese

I love some yogurt with granola and berries to tide me over or even for breakfast and so yummy in the summer when fruit is fresh. Also love me some cheese and my favorite cracker, which of course is a tasty Ritz. Yummy.
Yum!! I love Ritz crackers! I was actually just eating a few while I was reading your blog!! Coincidence??!! I think not! 🙂 Cheese and crackers are my favorite snack too!

I love Ritz crackers but have not seen these yet.
I enjoy snacking on all kinds of fruit. Granola and trail mixes are also a favorite and of course, a little chocolate here and there!
I like the sugar free jello cups. If I need some protein then I go for some cheese or some peanut butter
