tea time or afternoon snack

I have a hard time stretching our money to include snacks as well.  Ours are often:

• tea/cocoa (they add sugar and milk to the tea)
• fruit or applesauce
• yogurt
• veggies with ranch dressing
• cheese (I slice my own with a box grater to save money), sometimes with crackers
• popcorn (microwave or air pop with a little butter)
• trail mixes using what’s on hand (dried cranberry, almond, choc. chips are a favorite)
• muffins (leftover from breakfast)
• ice cream–this is a big treat and I try to serve it when we have a lighter dinner like fish or soup

I always have plans to make cookies, granola bars, etc. but it doesn’t happen very often!   We sometimes buy snack foods when they are on sale, but they don’t last long here either!
