Affordable snacks for frugal people

[freelancermaria]

Sometimes we don't realize we're spending a lot of money on pricey snacks. I used to indulge in international snacks like Pringles, Lay's, Cheetos, Ruffles, and so on. There's also pizza and hamburgers. They are relatively pricey in our country. However, I have chosen to limit my purchases of such products, especially because everything is becoming more expensive owing to inflation and I need to save more money. So I switched to more affordable snacks like peanut butter and crackers. I get local peanut butter from a bakery in our area. Sometimes I just grab an apple to munch on. How about you?

I seldom take snacks. In case I feel hungry I opt to eat fruits. I don't eat junk foods. They're one cause for a kidney failure.

I don't do more than biscuits if I want to take snacks. And biscuits in my place don't cost up to 10 cents. I see many people spend up to $3 on snacking. That's wastage.

It's better to eat full breakfast and full lunch to avoid hunger in between. The body might get used to eating causing a weight increasing.

I think for me it is groundnut, peanut butter and maybe chocolate. These are cheap but nice option here in my country

I agree with you. Peanut butter doesn't have to be expensive, especially if you buy it from a local bakery. The locally-made peanut butter tastes much better than the imported ones, and it won't break the bank.

Yes, a full breakfast can fit the bill. However, sometimes, we can’t help but get hungry, especially if we are stressed.

Haha. Yes, that is a waste of money. That is why I do not have expensive snacks anymore. Moreover, most of them are not good for our health and well-being.

This days it would be extremely hard to find affordable snacks. Over here all the snacks are becoming very expensive, especially if you want to eat something reasonable.

I take a meatpie of just 20 cents equivalent in my country if I want to take snacks and I drink water along with it. That serves me properly.

Groundnut is good energy giving food and equally cheap. I cook groundnut soup and eating cooked groundnut. Here, groundnut is cheap and readily available. I always eat potatoes a lot. I think these two food is good for frugal people like me.

l do the prioritisation on the purchasing of the basic necessities alone to mitigate the higher cost of living caused by the worldwide inflation.

This could be a good option but you might still end up being hungry in between depending on the nature of activities that you have to carry out for that day.

Even with all the snacks mentioned above, you may end up spending significant money if you don't have self control.

Lately I've been having some expenses that aren't weekly but monthly here at home my wife and I like to eat pizza, but that's it, oh and there's also the cheese bread that can't be missed.

We used to eat snacks here in the morning and in the afternoon. I feel hungry during snack time. Even in posting, it hungers us lol.

I do eat snacks in the afternoon. I mainly eat walnuts or almonds because they are healthy snacks. They are not cheap, but I just eat a handful of them once a day.

I thought that the frugal people would be engaged on the dealing with the most cheapest snacks like roasted peanuts, cassava chips among other cheaper priced snacks.

The snacks I mostly like are either cooked banana or moist cake. I really love to eat moist cake sold by Red Ribbon anywhere in the Philippines.
