For most parents, summertime equals endless snack requests. All sense of scheduled lunch and eating times fly out the open summer window, and are replaced with constant food demands from sun up to sundown. Scoop is here to help you feed your kids and hopefully not hurt your wallet. We also threw in a few Scoop Tips that we think you’ll appreciate…
