I generally split time growing up between my house and my grandpas house as thats where I stayed when off of school during the day and after school.
At his house we would do cheese and crackers, beanie weenies, hot dogs on half a piece of bunny bread, and tuna with boiled egg in it for lunch fairly often. He also cooked dinner during the week and we ate when mom got off work. One of his specialties was chili and mac and cheese. Sometimes he would make it homemade but plenty of times it was just a can of hormel and kraft. I still sometimes crave this. He would also do eggs and potatoes which was he would pan fry potatoes to make fries and scramble eggs on top of them. Good shite.
At home mom would get these grilled chicken sandwiches that were in the freezer. I seem to remember it being in a black and green box but IDK. I ate a ton of those along with the regular TV dinner type things.

My grandmother was dutch, and she made a "Dutch salad"... Boiled potato on some lettuce, wilted down with bacon/grease and vinegar, and a little bit of green onion and black pepper .
I'm really not sure when I fully realized we were way down on the poverty scale. Also had butter and jelly sandwiches at my other grandmother's, because it was all home made and there was no peanut butter.

cheese and crackers
Mom used to make this snack with Saltine crackers and cheddar cheese on top. She would bake or toast them in the oven. Same thing?
ETA: I still make these in the toaster oven, with a douse of hot sauce immediately upon removal.

Beenie Weenies was the go-to whenever we went fishing with my Dad. That and Chocolate Soldiers!
Man, I loved those! It was the only time we'd get them.
Tomorrow is his Birthday (R.I.P, Dale), so maybe I need to get some Beenie Weenies!!
Do they still make Chocolate Soldiers?
