Yes please, i'd love to win one of these kits.

I think my hubby and sons lunches are around 1 to 1.75 a day.
the both have a homemade sarnie, an apple (approx 25p?), some raisins in a tupperware type jar, taken from a kilo sized cooking packet
(approx 5p!!)
then my son has a frube, (bought by my nieghbour who works at the dairy on his staff discount (6p each), then a bottle of squash, made up at home, (maybe 3 to 5p?). i reckon the sarnie is the budget killer, as sliced meat and cheese can be sooooooo expensive.
fingers crossed! :money:Julie0 -
