I totally got organized on Sunday. Boiled eggs. Fried eggs (for quick breakfast sandwiches in the morning) bagged snap peas. Cooked extra for leftovers (rotisserie chickens for wraps etc)
Monday DS had:
2 x chicken wraps (had lettuce and cheese shredded and ready)
Choc milk (in reuseable container) 1L bought at GT last week for .99
boiled egg
snap peas
Orange cut into quarters
yogurt drink (.50 FB last week)
rice crackers (.25 cost for baggie)
No lunch packed today- Snowday.
Tomorrow's lunch will be the same as above :)
That sounds like a great lunch. What reusable container did you buy for his milk?
Our oldest son will be starting Kindergarten in September and I'm already starting to collect ideas. My mom gave me a 4pk of Tupperware sandwich containers for Christmas this year. Most of the schools here are nut free. I SCOPed a 24ct box of fruit to go bars from Wal-Mart and they are best before December, so I've set it aside for school lunches. We do a lot of baking, so we'll have to do nut free for school and stuff with nuts for at home.
Agree with FBM, these are the best. We have bought knock offs that work just as good too.
Sunflower seeds $1.99 for huge bag that lasts forever
Laughing Cow Cheese and Crackers ~$1.25 (0.75 due to Costco cash in)
Apple Sauce ~$0.30 (FREE due to Costco cash in)
Made Good Granola Bar ~$0.70 (This seems expensive, but they are GF, nut free, organic and this is the cheapest I have bought them).
Chocolate Milk ~0.75 (FREE due to Costco cash in)
Water FREE
Before Cash in $3 per lunch, After $1.50 per lunch x2 girls, x5 days = $15 for the week (Gluten free/nut free lunches)
-I have 2 girls, 5 and 6 that require lunches and the more peckish the lunch, the more they eat. I think that saves me $ too. :)
-Thinking next week to do chicken dippers. Grilled chicken cut in to strips with BBQ sauce. (GF chicken fingers).
Today's lunch for DS:
Choc milk
Lactose free Yogurt drink
snap peas
4 kiwi cut up (his fav)
1/2 lb strawberries
2 clemetines
veggie chips
rice crackers
1 piece of bacon (loll cleaning out the fridge and didn't feel like making a wrap)
Do you fully peel the kiwi for him? Just curious how you prepare. I often don't send fruit, and will do fruit for an afternoon snack after school instead. I only like preparing lunches once or twice a week and some fruit is just better fresh. :) I always serve kiwi fresh (that day). Just wondering how your family eats it (I am assuming you prepare night before or morning of). ;)
Lunch for DD- wrap with roast chicken and lettuce(ceasar dressing to add at school), fresh raspberries, fruit gummies and nuts.
I saw this Tasty Junior video linked to a radio station's Facebook page on the afternoons last week when I was hoping to win tickets. Aside from the wrap with peanut butter (which most schools will not allow), there are ideas for one week's worth of lunches. Talk about organized!
No lunch needed today but will be prepping tonight for the week. Strawberries for sure- Going to pick some up on sale ($1.66 for 1LB)
Wrap of some sort since I have tons. Thinking I will cook up some chicken tonight. Have lots of romaine and cheese etc so he will like that!
Had eggs that were expiring. Boiled them all for lunches! With four in the family that will eat them, they will go quick and not to be wasted!
