It's great to see so many others say popcorn. It is our favorite snack and it's cheap.

We also like juice pops. I bought a set of tupperware popsicle molds ages ago. We fill them with juice and freeze. Cheaper and healthier than store bought pops.

We melt butter, add some sugar, and pour it over hot popcorn.

You read my mind PETSNEGGS!!! I was thinking the EXACT thing as I came to your post!!

We eat lots of popcorn as well (not the microwaved stuff, but the real deal!) We also eat dehydrated fruit and lots of crackers and PBJ!!!

Stephanie, give me a large sweet potato, the peeler. and turn the deep fryer on.

Sweet potato chips have become a delightful and very cheap snack around here by accident. But we love them.

Alan, I just made my first ever loaf of bread with the new to me bread machine and that is on the list, along with French Toast with eggs fresh from the chicken coop.

And I can't wait for the first tomato to lay down on , I don't care, biscuit of bread with plenty of mayo, salt and pepper. I will :1pig: out!!!!!!

Wife & I like home-made eggnog. Quick & easy to make, uses up surplus of fresh eggs & it really puts "Heart" into a man. (or woman).

Wasabi peas! Spiced cuttlefish is yummy too. Not terribly expensive, either. Opihi is tasty but you have to get your own it is too expensive to buy. Popcorn is good, too, especially since we got an air popper at a garage sale so it is really easy to make now. The air popper is also good for roasting coffee which adds an interesting flavor to the first batch of popcorn made afterwards.

Home baked bread isn't "oh we're broke" it's part of what keeps us from being broke. We have cinnamon & raisin oatmeal with dark brown molasses sugar as either breakfast or a snack, but that's just for general too.

If we were ever really broke then there's always gulch food and that would be bananas, avocados, durian and wild pigs. Guess the 'naners could be considered snacks.

My mom recommended saltine crackers in a glass of milk, eaten with a spoon like cereal. Sounds really weird, but it's not bad at all! She said it was the thing to eat "when you don't know what you want."

My "I'm broke" snacks are popcorn and, similar to bluesky's thing, a can of kidney beans with hot salsa.

Thought of another one. Now this isn't healthy, but it sure is yummy. You take cheap canned biscuits, poke a hole in the middle with your finger (to make it a "donut"), and fry them. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. So good!

Only late in the Evening

Broke or not..........I always have homebrew, in the basement.
A nice homebrewed Ale and a bag of Pig Skins....Chiccarones, or whatever they are called now.......I love Pig Skins!
But, a can of Planters mixed nuts, out of our stash, will do, if we're not out of 'em..
