Ok.. so I'm calling all savvy mum's/nan's and ladies who have any tips for putting healthy/yummy treats in lunchbox's that wont cost a fortune!!
I'm so tired of trawling the isles of supermarkets and being bombarded with nasty looking treats for my kids.. I'm paying mainly for name and packaging and TBH im sick of it!!:irked:
So I only buy them one thing now.. They get to choose a treat for the week.. and i have decided to try and come up with cheaper.. healthier options.. Im not tight.. just sick of outlaying money on stuff i could do better at home.. ((well maybe i am cheap.. but im trying to start a business on top of raising two constantly hungry girls and buying my own house all on my own)) SO... If you have a tip.. please let me in on it..
Thankyou soooooo much!
My two tips are..
Homebrand (generic) cake mix ((cheap but good))
home brand (generic) choc chips..
make up mix and add choc chips to it.. fill cup cakes/patty pans and you have lovely moist cup cakes with chocolate melted through.. Cost me about au$2 and i make at least 30 cakes out of it!!!
Pop corn dusted with icing sugar.. rather then pre-packaged chips that cost a fortune this costs next to nothing and my kids LOVE IT!!:green:
anyone else have a tip??
