    Great tips Kimmy!! When I get home from grocery shopping the fun begins. I wash all the fruits and veggies. While the veggies are drying I boil 18 eggs and peel them. The next step is preparing the vegetables and fruit by cutting them up, taking grapes off the stem etc. I open up family size cans of tinned fruit, potato chips, crackers, slice up cheese. Then, as a family we Package up everything into single serving size. I use a combination of small plastic containers, snack size ziplock bags and for things like cheese, chips and boiled eggs I use a food sealer. Perishables are put in the fridge in baskets. This whole process takes between an hour and an hour and a half--so worth it. We usually play some sort of game while we do this. The kids love it and I save a load of time and money. I do not buy any prepackaged food of any kind. I reduced my food budget over 1/3 and that includes taking into consideration the cost of food bags, containers, and foods sealer supplies.

    I also cook two kinds of roasts on Sunday so that I have sandwich/salad meat for lunches during the week as well as one or two fast dinners. I usually cook one red meat (pork, ham or beef) and one poultry (chicken or turkey). Lunch meat is so expensive where I live so it is much more economical to use roasted meat. I then have bones to make soups and stocks for freezer meals.

    Thanks for these! A further tip for the Foogos thermoses is to be sure you fill them up with hot water (I just use my keurig) while you prepare the rest of the lunches... Then dump and add your hot food! The cool steel will absorb the heat from the water and not from your food, helping it stay as hot as possible :)

    When you put those water bottles in the freezer half (or 3/4ths) filled overnight, put them in the freezer at a 45° angle(!!), making sure that air is touching the top opening. Then when you fill it the rest of the way with water the next day, the ice melts at a good rate, so that you always have some cold water to drink and you don’t have to wait for it to melt to drink more!! (Laying the bottle at a 45° angle makes more water surface touch more ice surface (cubic millimeters of space) so more of the water is touching more of the ice, but it melts at a better rate to drink it.

    I love how you have everything organized! One thing we do is keep the fruit/veggie party trays that are available at the grocery and reuse them by filling with our veggies and fruit - it makes home snacking and packing bento style lunches so fast and easy. Absolutely love homemade lunchables too - we do those all the time!

    My son graduated in the spring but being a football player he was on a special diet. I made him chicken wraps. Baked chicken breast, shredded it, put it in a tortilla with lettuce, cheese and buffalo and ranch sauce. By the end of football season I had to send extras for other players. HUGE HIT!!! He leaves for college football training Tuesday, he's my only child. I'm so sad I won't have the chance to add those special touches anymore. Hugs 💜💜💜

Now I can make them at home with organic ingredients and the flavors we like. Almond butter, Nutella, honey and the list is pretty long of what can be used in place of the store bought frozen pb&j sandwiches. Thank you again and keep your inspiration alive. 😉

    Here in New Zealand our kids can't buy lunches AT school. My son's 6 and his school does bought lunches once a week on Thursdays so we do that once a month. But I make my son's and husband's lunches every night. My husband is diabetic so it's a good way to make my son's lunch a bit healthier haha! I do yoghurt, jelly and fruit cups, fruits cups, crackers and cheese, sandwiches or quiches, baking, muesli bars, chips, vegetables and fruit. I do 6 things each day, sandwich, a fruit, a vegetable, a yoghurt or fruit cup then 2 treats. I get exhausted and always try to find new ways to be prepared but i guess i work best with chaos hahaha! Love love love your videos 😊 i sit down every morning after my sons at school with my coffee and watch your videos haha!

The stupid thing is that in the papers today they say that the new builds in the uk are even smaller and the smallest in the whole of Europe.

    We just started KG and Preschool and school lunch is $3.65/$3.45! So far my KG has requested PB no jelly, hard-boiled eggs, and tuna sandwiches. I use cookie cutters to make fun sandwich shapes. I use silicone muffin cups to separate items. And since I have an early shift I prep everything for the hubby and I take pictures of what the snack/lunch should look like so he can refer to it. On one of our beginning days he sent the child to school without the actual lunch box! He asked me later does he have a lunch box??? Uh yeah I've only been collecting lunch boxes/bags the whole summer ^rolling my eyes^. Yes it can get crazy in the mornings so prep the hubbies for success! I also lay out their uniforms and footwear the night before.

    Susan Schulz We could bring peanut butter sandwiches but we had a peanut free table far more away. But, if you eat one you have to wash your hands after. Also the school lunches are peanut free so if you have a school lunch, you can sit at the peanut free table next to someone like your friend if they ask.
