You want to pack lunches that are nutritious and that your child will eat. Here are some great sites that may be able to give you some new ideas about what to put in the lunchbox.

Living on a Dime

There are some wonderful ideas on not only how to save money on school lunches, but also how to be ready for those hectic school mornings. For instance, you can have your kids prepackage chips and cookies in baggies during the weekend. Doing this instead of buying individual bags of chips and cookies can really save you money. Another good idea is to save all those packets of ketchup and mustard and the napkins you don’t use from the fast food restaurants to put in the lunchboxes. Click here to read more from this site.
