Quick Ham and Cheese School Lunch Ideas
Today, I just checked, there are coupons for ziplock bags and the little containers over HERE. I used 77477 and looked under “household”. I use these for all the little things I send to lunch for them. I buy larger sizes and break them into smaller instead of buying “snack size” which usually costs more per ounce.
I like to send, raisins, mini pickles, cubed cheese and ham, shredded carrots (I have no idea why my kids like this!) chunks of fruit, sunflower seeds and tons more.
To help save on school lunches I make a lot of my own pudding, jello and treats. If I can get a killer deal on fruit roll ups and granola bars of course I buy them but for things like jello and pudding it is just too cheap to make! Plus, it tastes better then the pre-packaged stuff.
The night before, after the kids are in bed OR new for me this year, my 11 and 9 year old daughters make pudding and jello for the next day. They pour them into the little ziplock containers and toss them in the fridge overnight.
The trick is getting them to remember to bring back the container, or not leaving it in their backpacks!
I also use the little containers for small fruit, chunks of cheese, ham, mini pickles, chunks of fruit and dry cereal.
I also make sandwiches in bulk by using a 6 pack of rolls.
Next, comes the ham and cheese.
Then I flip it over and cut 6 sandwiches.
For me this is a quicker way to get a bunch of sandwiches and they are just the right size. You can do it this way and stick the rest in the fridge for the next few days if you don’t need that many sandwiches.
I try and stay under $4-5 dollars a day for all lunches. So about $20 – $25 a week on lunches. I buy bread and rolls on sale and freeze them. Earlier this summer at Randalls I bought 13 packages of string cheese for under $.75 a bag, then I freeze and pull out every few days. I also freeze lunch meat and load up when I get it on sale. The snacks are always very cheap at Kroger mega events. We go through an enormous amount of fruit, I always try and price match it at Wal-Mart.
What do you make for school lunches? Do you have any time savings tips?!

Bob Evans Coupons + Easy Biscuits and Gravy Recipe
Bob Evans has released a few new coupons that you can find under 22122. The one that I am really excited about is the $.35/1 Sausage Roll. If your store triples this will be over $1 off! Even is they don’t it is a good excuse to have biscuits and gravy. Which is a favorite dinner meal around here!
Go HERE to print:
- $.35/1 Bob Evans Sausage Roll
- $.55/1 Bob Evans Frozen Sandwich or Burrito
Here are some biscuit coupons:
- $0.30/2 Pillsbury Refrigerated Grands Biscuits, exp. 10/29/11 (GM 08/07/11)
- $0.40/2 Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, exp. 9/26/11 (Peelie)
::Easy Biscuits and Gravy Recipe::
A friend taught me this recipe many years ago and it is a staple for breakfast and dinner at our house! It is super easy and I always have everything on hand.
I normally make my own biscuits but I have found this brand of frozen and I love them!
Fist brown a roll of sausage. We like maple flavor but you can use whatever you like.
Break the pieces up into small chunks as it is cooking.
When brown, do not drain. Add about 5T of flour to coat the sausage.
Next, and I forget to take pictures, turn the heat to medium and add about 1 1/2 cups milk. Stir all together and cook for a few minutes. The flour is going to start thickening up into gravy. You are going to have to add more milk, a little at a time, to get the gravy to the consistency that you and your family like. In total I add about 2 1/4 cups milk but honestly every batch is different.
Bake up some really nice buttermilk biscuits, and you have a super simple yummy meal!
My kids will all eat about 2 biscuits and I am at the point of almost having to make 2 rolls of sausage!
Easy. Takes about 15minutes start to finish. We eat this for breakfast and dinner!

Work From Home – Survey Sites – Christmas Cash
Ever since we have been married I have always done extra jobs on the side to help save for Christmas. I do things all year long to save up so that we never have to use a credit card for anything and to make December easier on the pocketbook. You might not want to save for Christmas, but have other things that you need some extra cash for. I have done surveys in the past with much luck, you will not get rich and it won’t be a full time job, but it will give you some extra cash.
Here are some legitimate survey sites:
Mindfield -Your opinion counts at MindField and is rewarded! We conduct ongoing Internet surveys for clients across America and beyond.
Toluna – Create and participate in online polls surveys and opinions, test products for free and get rewards. From a reader – Just completed a $30.00 survey from them. I received credit for it, no problem. They paid to PayPal within a few days.
My Survey – Pays with Paypal. Group of consumers from throughout the United States who influence future products and services by volunteering to participate in consumer research. Consumer research is discovering what people like you want and need by asking for opinions about products and services through surveys and product testing. Some lead to paid trials (where you get paid to try new products at home)!
MyView – I have personally gotten a $125 survey from this company! They also have paid trials, you get to try things in your home.
What companies do you use?
