Sometimes I do buy chips or a Coke but it's always a small bag of chips and one of those 8oz cokes. We'll split it.
I never use food for a reward. I might say "hey, today we really got a lot of stuff (chores, homework, etc), let's get a pizza" but I won't say "if you do your chores I'll make you a pizza". I sometimes just spring for a special treat but I won't use it as a reward.
