More on School lunches.........

at 2.50 a day school lunch can add up here are my tips for sending healthy cheap lunches!

for 1.85 I bought 4 small square containers with lids at my local grocery store.

6 Cent Servings!
I buy things like applesauce in bulk and pour them into the containers in each jar there are roughly 25 1/4 cup servings (give or take a few for mom)
Buy 1/4 water melon for 1.20 and get 20 servings out of it!!

Veggies!
2 cucumbers for .99
3 servings per cucumber .16

6 bunches of Broccoli for 3.51
5 servings per bunch .11

My daughter loves ham pita pockets (but PBandJ is WAY cheaper!!)
ham 9 1 oz servings for 3.00 (.33)
pita pockets 1.30 for 6 (.21)

make Jello/ pudding @ .5 per serving!!

chocolate milk in a water bottle dont Buy juice boxes!!!!
Lunch That covers ALL the food groups (including dessert my favorite!) for under $1 a day thats a weekly savings of $7.50
Monthly savings of $30
yearly savings $360
