Looking for Back to school lunch ideas? Making a home lunch is one of the ways we save money, but with that in mind I want to make sure that the items we use can make life a little simpler.
So I’ve put together a list of the Top 10 Back to School Lunch Must Haves:
#10 – ChicoBag Recycled PET Baggies Snack and Sandwich Reusable Bags, Pack of 3
These are great to have on hand, saving you money on disposable bags. They are washable reusable bags that will work great for sandwiches, chips, fruit slices etc.
#9 Wonder Sandwich Sealer N Decruster
If your kids don’t like the crust, this is an easy tool to have on hand. Plus it’s perfect to seal your sandwich too. You can freeze your peanut butter and jelly sandwich ahead of time, throw them in your reusable bag and they’ll defrost in time for lunch.
#8 Ziploc Container, Divided Rectangle
I love these little containers! I can put together a sandwich, chips and salsa and they don’t run into each other with these 3 separate compartments they seal perfectly!
#7 Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker Container with Removable Ice Pack and Dressing Dispenser
If you love salads, this is a salad must have. An ice pack to keep your salad cool and a separate dressing container to keep your salad from getting soggy.
#6 Thermos Foogo Leak Proof Stainless Steel Food Jar, 10 Ounce
Keeping the kids lunch warm is definitely a must have. I’ve used this container to send them to school with soups, spaghetti, chicken nuggets etc. The items stay warm for hours!

Having little storage containers on hand are perfect for sauces, dips, dressings, etc.

Buying bottled water/drink is no longer necessary! This stainless steel thermos is perfect in keeping drinks chilled until it’s time for lunch.
#3 OXO Good Grips Water Bottle Cleaning Set
Using containers with straws have always been a nightmare in my house. I could never get the straws cleaned therefore I would stop using them. This bottle cleaning is set is definitely a must have giving you all the tools to clean the bottle, the rim and straws.
#2 Sauce Container Piggy and Square Bottle
Aren’t these little sauce containers perfect? Soy Sauce, Hot Sauce, etc are now easy to take along with you in these mini containers.

This lunch set is awesome! Everything you need for lunch, hot and cold compartments, spork and carrying case. Though a bit on the pricey end, the containers stack up nicely not taking up a lot of space, but yet giving you enough storage.

Ever have those days? Days when your entire day is jam-packed? Days where your kids are home sick? Days when you’re prepping for a party? Days of pure exhaustion? Ever have one of those days upgraded with irritation when you realize you have no groceries and you’ve got to somehow fit the grocery store into the mix?
I despised those days. We always end up spending way more money because we simply didn’t have time to go grocery shopping.
We’ll those days are long gone. Some of you already know how much of a fan I am of Smith’s Food and Drug’s ClickList Service. But I’m now even more excited because they are offering DELIVERY!

5 Ways Using ClickList Can Help You Control Your Grocery Budget
I recently teamed up with Smith’s Food and Drug to check out their delivery service.
Following the same shopping method using ClickList, the only difference is you’ll need to select the Delivery Option Instead.
There is a fee of $11.95 when using Delivery. The fee is a bit more, than the $4.95 Curbside pick up fee. But it’s worth every penny when you simple don’t have the means to make it to the store.
When you go to check out, you’ll pay for your order via credit or debit card. The full amount shown on your invoice is what is authorized. However, once your order is fulfilled, that’s when Smith’s will bill you the actual amount shown.
My Order Total. $73.44 before any substitutions, coupons, discounts, etc.
My Receipt. $65.05
The process for delivery is easy! Just like getting a pizza, but better! And the communication was impeccable.
You’ll receive an email advising your order is ready to be delivered.
Then you’ll receive a text message from the third-party agent, letting you know, they’ve picked up the order and headed to your destination.
What I love is you can actual watch their destination in real time. Such a neat feature.
Once the driver arrives, they bring all the groceries to your front door.
And that’s it! Another time-saving technique.
Here’s me. I schedule my delivery during my early morning coffee. I didn’t even get out of my PJ’s. (There’s no shame there!)
