Unfortunately, when you buy goodies that are already prepackaged in snack sizes or smaller, you are going to generally pay for the convenience, so at some point, you'll need to weigh if your time is worth buying something in bulk and separating it into baggies yourself, or paying a bit more for the time-saving ease of having the stuff already separated out. Confession: as frugal as I am, my time is worth a great deal to me, and I generally opt for the latter. I hope I'm not horrifying some of my more die-hard Cheapanistas.
Here are a few ideas for some "pre-separated" Amazon items that I found that are a bit more than buying them in bulk, but they won't break the bank. After putting together your Mishloach Manot, you can use the spares for your kids lunches. In selecting these, I tried to keep the quantities low (so you won't get stuck with too many extras) and the per-unit cost under $0.50.
