Grand Theft Auto Online has many long missions and heists you can participate in. It's important to have full health and armor to stay alive and in the fight with your teammates. Your character's health will regenerate when they are injured. However, if your health drops below 50%, you can only regen back to half health. Green first aid kits completely heal your character, but they're hard to come by.

Snacks can get you out of a jam and back into action during a job. It's important to stay stocked up on snacks for this reason. This guide will demonstrate where you can purchase snacks in Los Santos and how to eat them.

How To Buy Snacks In GTA Online

There are a few ways you can acquire snacks as long as you have a little bit of cash. Soda vending machines can be found around Los Santos. These machines can be interacted with by walking up to them and pressing right on the D-pad. Each soda costs one dollar. Your character will immediately drink the soda and regain some health.

The only vending machines you can use in the game are the E-Cola and Sprunk soda ones. Keep an eye out for them when you're exploring the city.

These sodas will not be kept in your inventory and will be discarded after you're done drinking.

The best way to buy snacks is at convenience stores in Los Santos. They can be found all over the populated parts of the city. Look on your map to find the stores near you. Enter a convenience store and press right on the D-pad to interact with the shopkeeper. All the snacks cost around two to seven dollars.

After the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, your snack inventory will automatically replenish when starting a heist mission.
