What kind of snacks?

Fruit, cookies, pastry, Hors d’oeuvres, sandwiches, salty snacks?

Eggs are cheap. Deviled eggs, egg salad sandwiches. Cookies are cheap. Potatoes and pasta are very cheap. Make potato and pasta salad. If you can deep fry, try frying your own potato chips.

Hit up your co-workers to help with a Potluck (ie: Cookies, etc)
Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, pasta salad from scratch is relatively cheap
Egg Salad, Pulled Pork, Ham Salad - from scratch.
Rolls from Thrift Bakery- shop around

Costco sells 50 lb bags of bread flour for $16. Make biscuits. Keep the leftover $80.
