Have a midnight snack, or a little candy to stop that craving? In this article, wikiHow teaches you how to stash snacks in your room!

Steps

1Wait until your parents aren’t home, are asleep, or are in their room. Or, alternatively, you could try to sneak them up while they are awake and moving about. This is more challenging, and a bag (ex: a purse) or hoodie (with pockets) may be needed.

2Go to the kitchen, or wherever the snacks are. (ex: a pantry not in the kitchen.)

3Get the snacks you want. Make sure they do not require water or the use of a microwave, stove, etc. Refrigerated snacks are fine on one condition: that you have something to put them in (like a cooler.)

4Sneak them up to your room. You can do this by, if the item is small enough, putting it under your armpit, and walking nonchalantly to your room. If your parents or somebody else is awake and you walk by them, don’t walk funny. That might give it away. If it’s a bigger item, hold it in purse or jacket, or whatever you have that’s available, so that you or anyone else are able to see the item.

5Put them in a drawer or a place where your parents won’t find them. Do not simply toss them in an innocent cardboard box. This doesn’t , and if you leave the box open, you’re done for.

6Save them for a time you need them, like staying up late at night. If you’re going to stay up for a while, don’t eat it very fast. You want to make it last.

7Always vacuum or sweep up any crumbs or leftovers from your snacks, otherwise it will attract insects and rodents. The worst way to get caught, is by bugs. Your parents will know something’s up if you have some new pet mice.
