Ideas for cheap snacks for kids over the holidays.

Hi all I am really struggling this holiday. We are a family of 4 me and three children. We are on a very tight budget of no more than £50 a week and I'm finding my oldest is coming round with friends and eating everything which I just cant afford. So is there any ideas for things I can have for them all to snack on and not leave us with nothing after 2 days?

Also proud "owner" of a 15 year old who seems to spend his life bringing his mates round! Fortunately they're in a habit of going to the shop before they descend on friends houses to buy snacks etc, however I also get cheap biscuits, frozen pizza ( Aldi do an ok one for about 65p?!), crackers with block cheese etc

Jelly
Popcorn as mentioned already

Bananas
Ice pops

It’s hard when they bring kids home and they eat food you need,
