*FOOD THREAD ALERT*-Good cheap snacks

Cheap 6/10
Tasty 6/10
Nutritious 7/10
Filling 9/10

Yes, for the purposes of this thread, I would rather it was "filling" than "tasty, as I always get hungry too fast.

If you can stomach a Purdey's, that chock full of vitamins. Personally I think it's the devil's wee but others have different ideas. I guess that's about £1 - £1.50?

If you are feeling super wobbly (low blood sugar) then drink a Lucozade, that'll pick you up until you can get some real food. £1 or so...

Then nature sucks ass for not having chocolate bar trees.

B-b-but cocoa beans come from a shrub! And sugar comes from plants!

Crisps are rubbish snacks, I've decided.

Cheap -- about 65 cents
Tasty -- a bit salty
Nutritious -- high protein but high fat
Filling -- yes

Once again, Ned's made me laugh out loud. Might have been better had I not had a mouthful of water at the time, but hey...

BRANSTON PICKLE FLAVOUR CHEDDARS ARE THE SNACK THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

(mini cheddars, that is)

Yeah, indigestion's a bitch.

combines the qualities of "nutritious", "filling", "tasty" and "cheap"?

Pick three...
My favourites are those big bags of "onion rings" - filling, tasty, cheap... Not nutritious...

hey why the fuck do UTZ Salt & Pepper chips have onion and garlic powder on them? what's the deal there? Did just throwing black (and white) pepper on your regular chips make you feel lazy, UTZ? cuz it's too much trouble for me, so thanks for nothing.

PS to elisabeth "V8 is a snack" k upthread: sorry, but you and I were never gonna happen...

rice balls (esp from the japan centre on piccadilly) ftw

Waht are you mad Kerm, V8 is awesome tasty. Mmm tomato and celery salty goodness.

rice balls reminds me of this
nuts!

when someone eats a bowl of vegetable soup with a slotted spoon, hands me whats left and says "put this in the dishwasher... or you could pretend it's a snack," i am no longer cool with that person.

What if this person is dying of the dropsy from their canopied bed? I mean, I defs wld not eat that as a pretend snack, but that is the only situation in which I can see someone eating soup in that fashion.

otm, surely this is the "fast, cheap, and reliable" of food.

I can't eat a granola bar. It takes me at least 45 minutes and I feel sadder with every bite/~35 chews.

You're not eating the right granola bars!

The cherry dark chocolate flavor is a many-splendored thing. Neither the cherry or the chocolate are overpowering or cloying, which isn't something you often get with cherry or chocolate.

there is such a thing as dark chocolate chex mix now. btw the pumpkin granola bars (forget who makes them) are really good. kashi makes one but it's the crunchy kind

granola bars are too small and not filling ever

my default good cheap snack is a granny smith apple. Also, it keeps doctors away.

I like baby carrots. They're like freakishly filling. I could eat like 4 bananas and not really feel tided over (and I'd get the farts) (tho I <3 u bananas, please understand).

baby carrots so expensive, though! I do like, er, adult carrots a lot for snackage

baby carrots with hummus

they also seem to make my stomach feel better sometimes - like if i've eaten too much of something greasy and acidic they help reset the balance.

but sometimes carrots make me hiccup. it's weird.

fruit leather. trader joe's has it for like $0.49 and sometimes it is fiber-enhanced.

i love fruit leather (i think)

but right now i don't have it. i could get those dried apricots!
