Aug. 14, 2026 Presented by Instacart This Is What Parents Are Actually Buying For Back-To-School Snacks It’s back-to-school season (aka the time of year our kids inexplicably decide to eat us out of house and home). Needless to say, we are frantically stocking up on all their favorite bites. During Instacart’s Back-to-School Deals Week (Aug. 10–16), you can score a free* lunchbox goodie with every order of $10 or more — with a brand-new snack unlocking each day. Need cart inspo? Instacart shared its purchase data to give us a peek at what parents are actually buying. Unsurprisingly, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Nut Cheerios still reign supreme in the cereal aisle, but "better-for-you" options like Farm Girl, The Real Cereal Co., and Cheerios Protein are quickly gaining traction. Other hot trends taking over our pantries include variety packs (because variety = fewer meltdowns), snack bites like MadeGood Granola Minis and Bobo’s Oat Bars, and allergy-friendly sunflower butter. Yum! *With an order of $10 or more, while supplies last. Eligible items only. Taxes and other fees apply. Limit 1 per account. Sponsored. Shop Now ⮕
