A great inexpensive snack is popcorn. You can cook it in a hot air popper and for very little money have a low calorie snack. The calories go on when you use oil, butter or margarine on it. If calories aren't a problem, then you can dress it with melted butter, parmesan cheese, or brewers yeast.
Another fairly inexpensive but nutritious snack is a trail mix made from sunflower seed kernels, raisins and raw almonds or cashews. Nuts and raisins can be found inexpensively at Costco or Sam's Club.
If the treat is seldom, and calories are not too much of a concern; sprinkle M&Ms on top of the popcorn after the popcorn has lost some of it's 'heat'...(you don't want to melt the M&Ms...)You'll find a pleasant chocolate taste along the way as you're enjoying the salty popcorn...!!!!! My kids won't eat popcorn without the M&Ms...
