Packed Lunches for School

morganb

Yep, Tescos do sell them, I keep them for when the boys are hungry in the car ... saves crumbs and bits all over the place.

They are £1.75 for 10: the flavours they have are 10 VARIETY PACK.

2x Banana.

2x Apricot.

2x Tropical.

2x Pineapple.

2x Plum.

This is the Humzingers Fruit Stix Mixedflavour 150g
You can get a tropical pack, too, but for some reason these aren't currently on the website.

Asda sells humzingers too, usually with the cereal bars or baking (don't know why)

My 7 year old son is very fussy about what he eats. Every day he has cucumber sandwiches, an alpro chocolate pudding, a homemade muffin and an Innocent smoothie. Not cheap I know, especially as he can get free school dinners! My daughter has school dinners and because we are vegetarians they make something specially for her every day and they always sound really tasty.

Fantastic idea - does the sarnie go soggy when it's defrosted, or is it just like normal?

No they dont!

My son enjoys egg mayo sandwichs, raisins from a big bag put into a lunch size bag, cream crackers with thin sliced cheese, peanuts, home made malt loaf and boiled eggs. All cheap and tasty.

My dd's aged 12 & 9 have packed lunch

Sandwich with ham, cheese, marmite or Tuna approx 30p
2 pieces of fruit 20p?
raisins or fruit bar 15p
hm cake 8p

so approx 73p

Do sometimes do soup in a flask or hummous and breadsticks etc but they don't seem to get particularly fed up of the same stuff.

They have school meals once a week for a change!
