School party pre-packed food

[Katemum]

Help please!
Just picked up ds from after-school club who was clutching a news letter dated today to advise that his christmas party is this friday and children are requested to bring some pre-packed food.
I am working all day tomorrow so my only option is to try and leave work early and dive into Sainsburys before rushing off to pick up dd from nursery and ds from after-school club.
So what I need is to be able to go armed with a list of what to buy and an idea of what is a resonable amount to spend. Any ideas?

Some little precooked cocktail sausages or
sausage rolls (same aisle as ham etc)
crisps
mini edam thingys
Dont spend more than £3-4. All the parents will be bringing something and there usually left overs.

something like sausage rolls, crisps, small cakes?

all teh usual junk

probably only spend a couple of quid, unless ds hasa huge appitite?

Satsumas, cheese triangles, crisps, mini cakes, savoury snacks like samosas etc. are the usual things people take. Don't take more than your own child will eat or else there will be far too much food. One box of cakes (or a similar amount of whatever else you choose) would almost certainly do IME. If they're really giving you so little notice, I'd be tempted just to forget as there is almost always far too much food at these parties anyway - you could always give a donation to the club's funds if you feel guilty.

Sianbury's do those kind of tubs of little cakes- something like that would be good I'd have thought, nice small portions but popular with the children.

Err, that would be Sainsbury's

Thankyou everyone. Am very tired and brain just went blank.

Breadsticks and a tub of hummus.
Sainsbury's little flapjacks in a tub - as tamum suggests

Hello Blu

Got some pink iced mini cupcakes at our Sainsburys Local/garage yesterday - 2 packs for 1.60 I think. They also had prepacked flapjack squares. Otherwise how about Twiglets, crips, cheesy breadsticks etc

Could always buy a baguette, bagels or barmcakes, a tub of marge and something to go on them like a cheap pack of ham/chicken, tube of primula, cheese spread, jar of jam.
Biscuits are a cheap option - Jaffa cakes, fox's party rings, jammie dodgers.
Or how about getting a tub of mini donuts, mini gingerbreadmen or cakes, most supermarkets have there own bakeries.
Fruit - strawberries, grapes, satsuma's, bag of apples or pears, prepacked banana's.
