Snacks for school

I'm trying to get ahead for next year - DS is in Year 3 so will need to take his own snacks in.

Any suggestions of inexpensive snacks, I'm a bit stuck on crackers and raisins!

We do tube yoghurts, cheese strings sliced cheese with salami, crackers, rice cakes, pepperami, fruit, little pancakes, brioche buns.
Main trick is to put in a box or bag within the fridge saying school snacks so that it doesn’t get eaten by anyone else or by kids at weekends or evenings

Dyou mean snacks for break time or stuff for a packed lunch?
Break snacks are usually, from my experience, a piece of fruit.
Lunch is whatever you want though check if the school is nut free.

Great ideas, thanks.

Yes, breaktime snacks - needs to be something more filling for my DS than fruit alone
