Pack lunch meal plan

Kids School Lunches
Two weeks of lunches for 2 children for £1 each per day.

Below is a 2 week school lunch plan that comes in at under £1 per child per day! This plan is based on 2 children for 2 weeks. Doing a small bit of planning in advance, allows you to be ahead of the game, organised and saving money. Better still you can pin up the list on the fridge so your kids know exactly what to pack each morning allowing you to get on with your morning.

You will see that you buy the bulk of what you need the first week, then you only need a small top up shop for the next week of a few fresh ingredients. Buying multipacks is often a great way of saving money, there are a few multi packs included in the shopping list so if you have leftovers simply keep for the next week.

For the sandwiches I like to bulk make all of the sandwiches for the next 2 weeks on the Sunday evening and freeze them all. I have added in a freezable sandwich method. This saves so much time and food waste, thus also saving money!

Lidl and Aldi are brilliant shops to find really cheap ingredients, this shopping list is based on Tesco but if you are looking for even cheaper why not try an alternative lower cost shop.

If you find school mornings stressful, this will certainly help you feel more organsied and in control. Simply spending 45 minutes on the first Sunday night will see you prepped for the week ahead and for some of the next week too. So the second Sunday you only need to make the pasta and soup, as everything else should be done for you.

Consider allocating a space in a kitchen cupboard for the pack lunch snacks so everyone in the household knows these are for the lunches and not to be eaten at random.
