Every time we log into Amazon, it feels like everything -- movies, tech gadgets, and random articles of clothing -- is competing for our attention. But, before you order your next book or a new yoga mat, take a look at the food.

We sussed out the best deals on some cult-favorite snacks. Not only is it often cheaper to order them through Amazon, it's also more convenient if you're looking to save a few trips to your local supermarket.

The prices quoted here reflect the one-time purchase option, but if you find a product you absolutely need in your life, you can select the "subscribe and save" option for even steeper discounts. Most are free to ship to Prime members or are available as add-on items, so if you aren't a Prime member, your price quote might differ.

Enough talking. Let's get to snacking!
