Stop buying candy out of the vending machines. Stock up on your favorite candy bars at the store when they go on sale for 3 for $1 or 4 for $1 - much cheaper than $.75 a piece in the vending machine.
It's a good idea if you can do it - maybe have a stash that is strictly for sack lunches, for example. But I have the same problem as scarlet - I can go through a week's worth of chocolate in a day, if it's on hand. I bought four bags of chocolate chips and gave them to my son to keep at his house, so we would still have them when we wanted to make cookies!
