Re: lunch ideas
Asked by Ravenheart
Question:
im running out of ideas for school lunches, jess goes to kindy and they are not allowed yoghurt, muslie bars and anything like that... any idea..??
plus what tips do u all have for
food shopping and making it last a fortnight, i get paid fortnightly and have to do it once a fortnight and it never seems to last the distance??
xoxox
My Advice: HI as someone else mentioned.
make up a weekly menu..
monday - sausages and veges
tuesday- light meal - noodles ,toasties
wednesday- a mince dinner
thursday- steak and spuds,corn beans
friday- have anything -
saturday- salad with anything
sunday - make a lasagne
that sort of thing...
but big bag of potatoes ,noodles,mince,sausages
u can make difference meals from mince to make it stretch or make extra and freeze
if u have children old enough they can pull out a meal and heat and eat.
Money doesnt go far at all...
kids lunchs- my kids take crackers with vegemite,sandwiches,fruit,fruit sticks,ham sticks,cheese and crackers.
u dont need to buy expensive ones.
look out for specials and if your kid/kids eat the school snacks put them away to last fortnight.
i buy cheap snakcs for home time. everything is getting more expensive.
goodluck...
