Are kids meals a cheaper alternative to making your own lunches?? (The kind you buy in the frozen food section)
I find myself buying tons of different things which seem to add up and hurt our grocery budget. Since I have two that are home with me all day, we are running out of options. Eating healthy is not a big concern, because they get the nutrients they need from our dinner meals and snacks, plus vitamins. Anyone else do the frozen lunch thing???
Ewww those are really bad for your kids, and if you just prepare the foods that are in those lunches in whole batches, you'll see the cost per serving is way less. My mother always gave us things like hot dogs, bologna sandwiches, soup, grilled cheese, and veggie sticks (carrots, celery, radishes, whatever we liked) as lunches, and the little frozen meals were for treats once in a great while. The food we ate wasn't super healthy, but it costs less to buy a package of bologna and cut it into fun shapes yourself to eat with crackers and cheese than it does to buy a lunchable, not to mention the wasted packaging for the frozen meal.

One last thing; I'm not a parent, but I am someone who's been living in an apartment for less than a year, and at first I thought convenience foods were a great deal, but then I realized I could get more things that I liked and have better tasting food that cost about the same or less if I got things I could separate and cook more than one serving of. I love the way I shop and about the only thing I get that's really "prepackaged" is ramen (my weakness; I love it) and canned beans and soups. Pre-cut cheeses, deli meat, and veggies to keep in the fridge to throw together a quick lunch for your kids. I timed it yesterday, and it took me less time to make grilled cheese with turkey than it took my housemate to nuke a frozen meal. Don't go for the prepack!
I use to buy the lunchables when I was babysitting during the summer but they would still want more a hour later so I would create different lunch ideas during the week and put up a little listing like for example one week. Monday we had already prepared subs from foodlion three came together or I would but the big sub and cut it in three section. ($3) Chips ($5 a box) and kool-aid (.20cent pack). Tuesday we had hotdogs (.60cent), homemade milkshakes (i just blending come ice cream($3) and put in some chumps), french fries ($3) from the frozen food section. Wednesday was different culture day all I did was maybe cook some mac and cheese (.30cents box) and some type of fruit it really wasnt nothing from other culture but they love mac and cheese and fruit done different ways like strawberries (kind in the frozen food section that's like watery) and bread. Thurdays was cookie day we would bake a cookie or cake and eat that with milk (dont tell their mother lol). And Friday we would eat go to mcdonald dollar menu. two medium fries and two double cheese burger! Selenium::

Plus it lets the kiddies be creative. Im 18 & my husband is 22. We still eat them from time to time. lol.
I buy muffins, yogurts, bananas and sandwich fixings, so my son gets 3 out of 4 every day. Probably averages out to 3 bucks or less.
It's healthier and cheaper to make your own lunches.
Eating healthy should be your biggest concern!
We eat alot of "chicken nuggets' granted I make them myself with skinless chickenbreast and cornflakes then I stick them in a washed out used "chicken nugget" bag like tyson or something so the kids think that they are getting the other!!! We occasionally eat Kids cuisine meals on days when life is hectic, but other wise we eat salads my two year old loves salads, peanut butter and jelly, grilledcheese, My daughter eats alot of those gerber graduate meals too still. the frozen thing can really add up!!
I am like you- I typically cook my daughter breakfast in the morning and always cook a good dinner. My daughter likes the kid cuisines- you can get chicken nuggets and legs, fish sticks, pizza, hamburgers, ravioli and mac and cheese. Most come with one or two veggies like corn and mac and cheese and a desert. The are not expensive and she loves them.
