I have been shopping 2x in the last 2 weeks, and have loaded up!
Arrowhead mills cashew butter(crunchy and creamy).
Organic prepackaged oatmeal
Back to Nature fruit and grain bars and bakery squares.
Prepackaged wheat thins (like lunch box sized).
Arrowhead mills multigrain choc chip pancake mix.
Pacific foods free range chick broth.
Organic canned tomatoes in several varieties.
Organic blue corn chips.
Quakes 90 calorie packs in buttered popcorn.
Wheat thins parmesan Asiago cracker chips.
Garlic Pita chips.
Fruitabu flats (fruit leather), and rolls (organic version of fruit by the foot).
Whole Grain fig newton bars.
Kid Didits in several varieties(Kids Cuisine - » Kid Didits Vitamin Packed Snacks)
several salad dressings including Annies Naturals.
4 packs of slimfast in Coffee-- cf, gf
Fuze sportswater
Vital Lifestyle Water
and some other stuff I can't remember right now. Ours is NOT a big fancy Big Lots either, Its a very small and cramped store, but well worth going to check out IMO. I usually go 1x a month or so and stock up on snacks, unless we find a particularly good deal that we really like the taste of, then I will buy several, depending on the price and exp date. I find that I save a fair amt buying at big lots for our snack and dry goods.

"Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Jesus said until him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And, the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments have all the law and the prophets."

I think every store's selection varies a lot. We went there a couple weeks ago, unfortunately *after* loading up on snack foods at the grocery store! They had the Fuze water, organic canned tomatoes, and a couple of other things on your list and a few not - but they didn't have most of that list. The Didits look great! I am always trying to get more calcium into the kids since we don't drink milk (hence their ice cream addiction, LOL!).
Anyway I will have to go back there and check again now. You enabler, you.
The didits cheese crackers taste pretty much like goldfish to me. WE havent tried any of the others yet-- they had 2 diff types of cookie and something else. Lauren, my Big Lots didn't have most of this 2 weeks ago. They did have the cashew butter then, and the tomatoes and the fuze. Oh and the fig newton bars and fruitabu.
Yes, prices are good. All of their sportswater type things are .60c. Canned organic tomatoes are .60c, and the 28oz cans are 99c. Chick broth is 1.00, Pancake mix 1.50. Organic oatmeal is 2.50 (this is a LITTLE high, but abt what you pay for reg in the store). Annies salad dressing is 1.00 a bottle. Cashew butter is 2.00. Slimfast shakes are 3.00. Garlic pita is 1.30. The snack foods I don't have the boxes on-- we take the individual packages out and put them in a basket, but they are all reasonable.
HTH! Oh and the Slimfast were on the very bottom shelf here, sort of tucked back under the tea. The woman was just putting them out the first time I went, and originally told me that they were supposed to be on an endcap but she didnt feel like making room LOL. So be sure and kind of walk around a bit. I know esp bigger stores put things weird places sometimes. They usually have an ethnic aisle and a new product aisle that sometimes has stuff on it too. (and the ethnic aisle has all sorts of interesting things that are not always ethnic, like cane sugar drink mixes (the mojito one was goood)
i went today and got fruitabu for $2 and cascadian farms cereal for $2, and kashi cereal for $2.50.
i saw the wheat thin packages and quakes for $3 each and the oatmeal. i needed to do a real grocery shopping, so i didn't look around for the rest so as not to use up all of my productive time with the two kiddos.
