Love your ideas. I’ll say I have been packing lunch for my son lunch from Kindergarten through 8th grade…he is now 18. But when he was young…I packed fruit…and it came back not eating. So don’t feel bad.

Came over from TikTok! So excited to see no-heat lunches. I need ideas for stuff to take with me for my 9-5 that doesn't require socializing with my coworkers while waiting to use the gross microwave. Thanks for sharing!

Dude. Yeees

Going to do this lunch plan for 2 Seniors being it involves frozen pizza which I love ,single cookie packs which are portion controlled and a fruit cup so we stay regular.😊

My dollar tree has fruit pouches in a 3pk, and I'm a big baby so I love them.

Please, keep doing these. I’m a home health nurse. This helps! 💚

I never thought about cook a frozen pizza and packing for lunches. Also, the olives are a great touch!

Thank you for your videos. It is refreshing to see someone as young as you teaching others about budgeting and economizing. Lots of young people have no idea how to meal plan and budget.

I love those cookies. These are such good ideas. I've been bingeing your videos. My fiance just got out of the hospital and will be on disability for quite a while. We've always tried to budget but now will have to even more so these videos are so helpful. Thank you!!!

Wow! Geeze the things you learn on the internet. Now I need to go shopping. I'll have to edit this a bit but I think this will work just fine. Thank you for the video 🙂

The packs of mini cookies are the best value ever! Plus: you get an assortment of flavors!

My daughter takes the minees cookies every day for snack! Her fav!

I appreciate the honesty with the mangos 😉 And I love your meal ideas! (I loved the vanilla creme flavor too) 😋

Mangos are bleh 😂😀😂 I don’t like them fresh or canned

I would suggest getting bagels w/marinara and mozz from dollar tree w/ any toppings of your choice and heating homemade bagel bites and cutting them up when cooled. A bit healthier than the premade pizzas. Or doing a pizza quesadilla and cutting that up when it's cooled.

I work from home too, but even then I definitely don’t have that balanced of a meal for lunch 😂. Great video as always.

great too that leaving the fruit no utensils are needed

This is such a fun little lunch!

Awesomely enjoyable and awesomely done video 🎉✨

Perfect idea! You gave me an idea about the olives, I’ll throw some pepperoni or banana peppers in with olives, and if I’m feeling more veggies, I’ll grab some spring mix to throw on top with dressing on the side just to say I ate a green veggie that day, bc most days I eat so fast, I’m starving at lunch and make the wrong choice of grabbing a fast food burger when that pizza would be wayyyy more fun & delish and I’d save time/gas money!!

I used to give out the Minees for Halloween candy. They aren't bad cookies, too.

So smart!

I've had those cookies a couple of times and the orange ones and strawberry ones are my faves. I would've loved the banana ones except that they were on chocolate cookies (which I hate lol 😂).

Inspiration!!!

Thk u for the kids meal prep 😂

when my boys were younger (teens) they would kill a 10pk of those pizzas in a couple day, I think they were .75ea back then., They would cook 2 @ a time like a pizza sandwich ala Tony Manero (sat night fever) or microwave them and roll them up.. I still do the sandwich thing with added toppings like more cheese, jalapenos, pepperoni etc.. Yes I do it with real pizza as well..lool... Im sure my younger gbrats would love a lunch like this but then they'd love viennas and cheese sticks also

Haha I have definitely done the pizza sandwich before. 0.75 pizzas, those were the days. I was at food lion the other day and those cheap Totinos party pizzas were $2 each now

For me frozen pizza needs a toaster oven. It gets hard in the microwave. You can reheat them in the stove. They have a&W root beer packets that you can add to club soda for fizz and ginger ale

It would be cool if you got a corcle cookie cutter and made the little bites! Still a cool lunch thoigh. Great job!

I my self do not like cold pizza but good for kids

The cookies were included last week so are freebies this week😅

hi how are you

Maybe undercook the pizza a little so it isn't so hard

hard to hear some of your videos

Sound not good

Storing pizza in the fridge for five days reeks of yuck. Wouldn't consider etible.

Those are huge lunches. I would only be able to eat half

Celeste pizzas are gross...try Walmarts version.

Good luck- you're already trying your best and it shows. Sometimes a different perspective helps. A lot of processed food for a child who's physiology is in accelerated growth and development. This means their cells need PREMIUM QUALITY, BIO-AVAILABLE nutrients and minerals. They need foods in clean and as pure as possible states. This means complex carbs, lean proteins, vegetables and fruits- WHOLE FOODS. Kids have a baseline palette at this stage of life - meaning their taste buds and food choices may be shaped by being used to high quality foods from the start. This means as an adult - they don't have to go on diets, will crave healthier foods and be able to taste natural flavours. Processed food being applied from childhood - does the reverse- it starts them on a road to imbalanced biochemistry, behavioural and emotional symptoms and eating disorders stemming from a poor relationship with food. You could massively decrease chances of these in your kids as they grow - just by providing and habituating their palette for healthier foods. Sure, I'm all for creative ways to save money - but child nutrition is not a place to cut costs. In fact you could SAVE MONEY - by cooking a pot of pasta and veggies, or grains, potatoes and quality proteins. Then prep containers. You would save money because with these food in this video - you're just paying for convenience packaging AND POOR NUTRITION. Not a great cost benefit equation is it? Save money elsewhere and INVEST in good foods for your kids to give them the best head start. Food is really medicine. Read up on kids nutrition. Not only will your kids reap the biological benefits but also respect your self education for their good.
