Answer 1

Grab/Go is the reason Oscar Meyer is in business.

Take the time the evening before to make lunches. You can do it while you are making dinner (you DO make dinner, don't you?)

Leftover pizza, since you didn't make dinner tonight. lol
or
Sandwiches in the students favorite type of bread is better and cheaper than whatever the lunch lady offers. (I guess you could pay the lunch lady if they serve hot lunch)

Chips, either in its own packaging or your baggie it.

A piece of fruit.

A couple carrots or celery pieces in a baggie.

Capri Sun or water bottle.

My kids began making their own lunches at about the age of 7.

Answer 2

Yogurt. Crackers w/ spreadable cheese, or those bags of cheese squares. Uncrustables (in the frozen section). Healthy breakfast cereal in a food saver (they can buy the milk at school). Add fresh fruit to any of these.

Does your kid have access to a microwave? That opens up a whole bunch of other options. You can send things like leftovers, or frozen entrees (they'll be thawed by lunchtime but for a lot of them that isn't really important, just cuts down cooking time).

Also, buy a bag of premixed salad, shake some into a food saver, put some of those cheese squares on (for protein) and send them with some salad dressing in a small food saver or ziplock bag, which you can tuck right into the food saver.

Don't forget to make it balanced. Protein is very important to have at lunch, and a fresh fruit or vegetable as well.

By the deli part of the supermarket it might have ready made sandwiches and other things. I like to add Italian dressing to the sandwiches I get from there but other than that it's all done.

Not really. They'll be full of sodium and fat, cost a ton of money and won't even taste good. Homemade lunches for school are the best.
