Need Frugal Homemade Snack Recipes

[cdrumm4448]

I am tired of buying bags of snacks from Trader Joe's at $3.99 each that disappear in a day or two. Anyone have any frugal, healthy snack recipes they would like to share? Thanks.

Can you make your own trail mix? Or go with good old fruit and cheese type snacks? That's our snack of choice over here. Fruit and cheese or peanut butter and celery. Sometimes I cut the fruit so it looks like little animals. I am not sure how frugal fruit is, but I think it lasts longer than a bag of chips and it's healthy.

:lurk5: I want to hear other ideas, but popcorn is pretty cheap. You can air pop popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave. You just put enough to cover the bottom of the bag, fold over the top a few times then sit it upright in the microwave. Do time like you would normally, and listen for it to almost stop popping.

 

You can add whatever you like for seasoning.
