Peanut butter potato chip sandwich
Spread some peanut butter on bread, top with potato chips (Ruffles type work nicely) and top with another piece of bread.

buy frozen edamame (soybeans) and steam it or boil it. Add a little salt..my kids love these and they're good cold. They call them "poppy beans".

Send dry cereal in a thermos, and just have your child buy a milk they can add to it.

Check out Aldi's. They have snack sized portions of Ritz crackers, Teddy Grahams, etc cheaper than grocery stores.

Don't buy the individual containers of caramel for dipping. It's cheaper to buy the larger container and send a small portion in a reusable plastic container.

Same goes with Ranch dipping sauce for vegeables. Just send a small portion of salad dressing in the same containers.

If your kids like raisins look for the store brand small containers of raisins instead of the name brand. Or you can by the bigger box and send small portions in ziploc bags.
