Since going gluten-free/paleo-ish, I don't buy any junk. It's really sad. I open the fridge and stand there every day looking for a snack, and all there is is real food like chicken, vegetables and fruit.
I snack on raw veggies pretty much every day. That's about the only thing we keep at home these days! We do have cheese... and eggs? My mouth is sad and lonely for chips and cookies....
What type of snacks do you keep at home?

I would probably die if I had to eat paleo! We keep lots of popcorn, cheese, chips and popsicles around!

We don't keep much of that stuff around, either. Almonds and fruit...some cheese....greek yogurt...buffalo jerky is also delicious. We are very boring.
Have you tried jerky sticks? Nick Sticks are popular at my gym.

Ever since I got pregnant with our first I've been craving chips. So that was 4 years ago. It's TERRIBLE!!!! I can finish an entire bag in one sitting its sickening. I have a chip addiction!

Cheese, crackers, pretzels...I think that's it. I don't buy junk snacks but make up for it (in a bad way) by doing a lot of baking. And I never buy chips because I can't not eat the whole bag in a day or two.

We don't have any cookies, candy, ice cream, chips in the house because I would just eat them all in a day. I usually snack on kind bars, string cheese, or greek yogurt.

We don't really buy snacks either, and now that I'm pregnant, I feel like that is a shitty decision and we should have a lot more snacks readily available. It's really unfair.
I am also pretty terrible because instead of eating fruits or veggies which are easy to prepare and eat right away, I will make myself a bowl of plain pasta....

I don't buy a ton of snacks either. But I always have some fruit of the season (currently, granny smith apples and pears are always on hand). A possible substitute for your chips is dry, roasted seaweed? I can eat a ton of those and be glad they have practically no calories! IDK is edamame is Paleo or not, but those are easy to get going in 5 minutes or so. String cheese is another thing we always have. And DH's fave is popcorn.

We always have snacks in the house. Right now there's fruit, plus we have cordial cherries, oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies, and gingerbread. Plus chips and cheez-its. DH eats lots of it, but I have my moments too.

We always have graham crackers to throw in the diaper bag for DS. Right now, we also have some clementines, mini ritz crackers with cheese, Pirate's Booty, & homemade buckeyes!

We have lots of snacks. At the moment: kind bars, kashi bars, honey nut Cheerios, crackers, mixed nuts, trail mix, oranges, apples, bananas, olives and lots of home made Christmas cookies (sigh - oh so good but dangerous).

Hummus, cottage cheese, cereal, trail mix, assorted protein and other bars, cookies, chips, bananas, some species of berry, English muffins with various toppings, peanut butter for celery or crackers, individual servings of cheese for crackers, salsa and tortilla chips, CheezIts, fruit snacks, etc.
I usually have enough snacks to alternate between junky and healthy.

We have practically zero snacks at home. We have stuff in the freezer, and if I don't go grocery shopping, our fridge is pretty bare except for an assortment of sauces and eggs. Now that I'm preggo, we did load up on snacks yesterday to help keep nausea at bay. We bought a Costco pack of mini pretzels and a variety pack of Austin's crackers.
