That’s where Fetch comes in. While you soak up the sun, Fetch earns you points on the snacks, sips and supplies you’re already buying. Just snap your receipts and dive into rewards.

How Fetch makes snacking more rewarding

Every time you buy summer snacks and snap your receipt, you’re earning Fetch Points. Whether it’s from your favorite grocery store, a big box retailer or even online with Fetch Shop, those snacks aren’t just tasty: they’re rewarding too.

Plus, keep an eye out for personalized offers on everything from granola bars to iced coffee and even adult beverages (cheers to that). Those offers can earn you points even faster.

Best beach snacks for sun-soaked days

When sand’s involved, simple is best. These snacks are grab-and-go friendly, shelf-stable and built for beach bags:

  • Trail mix (bonus points if it’s a Fetch brand!)
  • Granola bars
  • Pretzels, crackers or snack mix
  • Apples, grapes or dried fruit
  • Nut butter pouches + crackers
  • Wraps or pinwheel sandwiches

Brands like Nature Valley, KIND and Sabra often show up in Fetch offers—just check the app before you stock up.

Pool snacks worth diving into

For cooler bags and pool loungers, think chill and snackable:

  • Cheese sticks or cubes
  • Veggie sticks with hummus
  • Mini muffins or energy bites
  • Hummus and pita chips
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Single-serve popcorn bags

Got a pool party planned? Offers from brands like Sargento, Chobani or Popcorners might pop up to boost your point haul.

Beach drinks and poolside sips

Hydration is key—but earning Fetch Points while you hydrate? Even better. Keep these in your cooler:

  • Bottled or sparkling water
  • Electrolyte drinks like BODYARMOR or Gatorade
  • Iced coffee or cold brew
  • Juice boxes
  • Canned mocktails or adult beverages like White Claw or Truly (check local rules, of course)

Pack snacks for the beach like a pro

Make beach day stress-free with a few packing power moves:

  • Freeze water bottles or fruit overnight
  • Use cooler bags with ice packs
  • Pack individual containers or bags for easy grabbing
