i agree with this--they are only teens for a short period of time and they are truly hungry. Probably they are much more active in summer which is why they are hungrier, or maybe it's a growth spurt.

If you want to save money, save as others have said, by cutting out junk food, offer only water, and give them healthful snacks like:

-apples and peanut butter
-seasonal fruit and veg like berries, melon, peaches, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc
-plain yogurt from a tub that they add sugar/fruit to
-blocks of cheese vs. individually packaged cheese sticks
-make popsicles from reconstituted frozen juice or whatever kind of juice is cheapest these days
-popcorn they have to make from a jar of kernels
-hardboiled eggs, tuna salad, sardines, etc for protein
-if they want cookies, cupcakes, etc, have them make them from scratch

But please, do not deprive your teens of food to save money.[/quote]
