"Acertaingirl" wrote in message ... We're headed on an 8 day road trip this October, from NJ to FL with stops along the way. I'm looking for some snack ideas, since I don't have a fridge in the car (!), cheese and anything perishable is a no-no. I'm thinking nuts, maybe some peanut butter, and my usual frankensnack per day, any other suggestions? you can pick up pork rinds along the way at convenience stores and gas station quickie-marts. i would bring a cooler - is that possible? then you could bring cheese sticks, and a bunch of other things. I would buy things as you go- you aren't locked into the car! you should bring some non-perishables then stop along the way. i like to make my own beef jerky - you can bring jerky if you make/buy it |

Stop at places to get real food!
Of course I intend to stop to eat!!! I'm planning on pitstops at 3 - 4 hours, that's why I asked about snacks. |

sticks, and a bunch of other things. I would buy things as you go- you aren't locked into the car! you should bring some non-perishables then stop along the way. That's probably the best idea, with all my trip planning, it never occured to me that I didn't have to bring it all with me duh! My concern is that I'll have no place to refreeze the ice packs for the cooler and I'm not too crazy about having real ice in the car. Hmmm...maybe ice in zip lock bags could work - does anyone have any experience with that? I want to avoid leaks in my brandy-new car! |

Hmmm...maybe ice in zip lock bags could work - does anyone have any experience with that? I want to avoid leaks in my brandy-new car! Plenty, and then some. At least twice a day, drain the cooler, once in the evening, and again in the morning before you put it back in the car. Once drained, get more ice, and fill to your comfort level. I usually get ice at the hotel (most will let you refill your coolers). And, if you can afford the room, take two coolers, one for your meat, cheese, and other parishables, and put your drinks in the other one. That way, if something leaks it doesn't ruin everything else.

If you're planning on pit stops and eating every 3-4 hours, then you
won't need car snacks. Do you eat more than every 3 hours when you're not in the car? Jennifer Acertaingirl wrote: Stop at places to get real food! Of course I intend to stop to eat!!! I'm planning on pitstops at 3 - 4 hours, that's why I asked about snacks. |
