Need some help busting lunch time boredom? Need some new ideas that won't break your budget?
Save-A-Lot has put together a Month of Lunches menu, available via PDF and online, to help parents answer the question, “What’s for lunch?” Best of all, the average cost of the lunches is less than $1.00 per day – that’s $1.30 less per day than the cost of the average school lunch (according to the School Nutrition Association). Over the course of 180 school days, that’s a savings of $234!
While you're checking out the month of lunches menu, be sure to check out the other great material on Save-A-Lot site including:
- 10 Tips for Beating Lunch Box Boredom
- Shopping List (generic, non-branded items)
- Arts & Crafts activity - materials to encouraging kids to select which lunches they want ahead of time. Kids can cut and paste their selections onto a blank calendar, color and decorate and work with mom to put up in a communal area so that kids feel empowered to make their own lunch time choices.

Of Course mine is Hot Dogs and beans. I may be 35 but it is one of my favorite meals and the kids love it too! *lol* never though about giving it to them for lunch though. Let me go get them a thermos:)
Favorite lunch would be spaghetti and meatballs...in a thermos. Yum.
Cheese quesadilla on a tortilla, fruit, fruit juice...my kids love these!
We eat the quite often...the make a great snack too...not to mention, they are cheap to make.
Mmm... the Chef's Salad sounds yummy.

I think the Cheese Quesidilla on a Tortilla with the fruit and juice. I make these for my son for a snack all the time. 30 seconds in a microwave and it's so easy!

I like the lunchmeat and cheese rollups. I sometimes stick the tortilla even. Save-a-Lot really saves me money.

My girls and I agree, has to be spaghetti and meatballs.
I like Cheese sandwich,Baby carrot sticks and Water!
I guess I'll go with soup in a thermos, only because I HATED when my mom gave me soup in a thermos for lunch. :-)
Really, my fave is the chef salad.
I like the PB and Banana on a tortilla. My son would enjoy this, although my daughter would hate it! Sometimes I just like to torture them a little bit!
Chef Salad definitely! I love Save-a -Lot.

A simple cheese sandwich, water and carrot sticks. Sticking to the basics. :)
I would have to say the Chef Salad, I would like to send that with my son.
I would also add some sunflower seeds (extra protein and fiber) and some madarin orange segments (to sneak in some more fruit :)
Then for the dressing, I would either do ranch or a poppyseed dressing. Kids love the sweet taste and it goes so well with the oranges. Try it sometime.
I might also send in a leftover crescent roll from dinner the night before. Mine kiddo is growing so fast right now, he needs a pretty good size lunch. That is, if he can quit socializing long enough to eat it...he must get that from me :)
Nice contest, thanks for the opportunity.
I think the mini raviolis in a thermos is a great idea ~ I never thought about sending something besides soup in a thermos!
Great contest! Thanks for the offer!
Cheese quesadilla on a tortilla sounds wonderful!
Mine would be the cheese and crackers; an apple with pb, pretzels and a drink.
Mini raviolis in sounds good !
a thermos
• Fruit (apple)
• 100% fruit juice
in a thermos
soup, fruit, and a water - I love soup in the winter! It's so comforting.
I love dinner re-dos to use up the leftovers. Milk in a thermos is a fun idea!
I think either the mini raviolis (I love ravioli) or fresh fruit salad.
Thanks!
