What are the most frugal snacks you feed your family?

-Fruit in season with homemade dip
-Buy a block of cheese and cut it up. It's cheaper than buying a package of cheese cubes. Serve with crackers.
-Popcorn
-Homemade muffins, granola bars

  • Cheese sticks with pizza sauce to dip. (I buy the cheese sticks in bulk and freeze the excess).
  • Graham crackers with applesauce to dip.
  • Dry cereal or goldfish crackers mixed with dried fruit and/or m&m's for a snack mix.
  • Pretzels with mustard or ketchup to dip.
