Hello my frugal friends! This is the first week of back to school lunches for us. This is the real lunches that my kids are taking to school and also what Dave is taking to work. I am so excited to do a collab with Simple Wife Simple Life and LargeFamilyLove on these back to school lunches. Please go check out their awesome videos here:

  • I’m 21 and have no kids but for some reason I watch every single one of your videos hahaha

    I love how your son asked when lunchboxes go on sale next when you asked him if he wants one. You are teaching your children good money habits which will carry them through life. Did I hear right when you said "home made canned pears"? you actually have found time in your busy life to do some home canning?
  • @sherylintheraw
    Also consider getting multilayered bento boxes for Hailey. She might need 1 for school lunch and 1 for after school.
  • Invest in reusable plastic bags! I found some cute ones for $5 at home goods. They come in a set with 2 sandwich bags and 2 snack bags. You just wash them and let them dry and re use them.

    Omg Dave got the Chewy bar that Andrew wanted!
  • You could always cut the sandwiches and the fruit so they would fit better in the containers you had.

    I ADORE Ryan behind you making faces and showing how strong he is!! Lol TOO CUTE!
  • @329crys
    Always need help packing lunches for the kids as well as my husband. Thanks so much Christine I really appreciate you😊
  • Love this video!! Great ideas for frugal lunches for kids and adults. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • @sonjakremer7073
    Love this!!! I am a frugal Mom and pack school lunches 5 days a week! I would love to see more of these! Thanks for your inspiration!
  • @ncm5928
    With the exception of food, I rarely buy anything full price! Way to go that your son is thinking that way also. I love it!
  • My husband and I found meal prep containers at Wal-Mart on clearance for $3.50 for a 5 pack we bought 2 packs (this was back in June) wish we would have gotten more. They are so convenient for lunches. Or bento boxes are nice too.
  • @243tad
    Awesome video! Would love to keep seeing your meals for the week. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners everything!
  • Agree with everyone who said the Sistema containers are great! There was an Ibotta rebate with them a couple weeks ago, and I got several for 99cents each:) I was hoping the rebate would reset so I could pick up a couple more. Thanks for all your awesome videos Christine... love seeing your family! You guys are so sweet and funny 😁
  • Your youngest is adorable! I love to see his little sweet face pop up behind you. Reminds me of my little men.
  • @amandalucas79
    Love the striped/flowered top! My lunch packing is similar, slightly different for each kid. I make a big pot of soup on the weekend for hubby to take to work for the week and just pack extras each day!
  • I love how real you are. I have no kids and I'm single, but I myself am very frugal and its oddly satisfying to see all these meals you create on a small budget.
  • Peanut butter one.....boy after my own heart! Loved it! Yummy lunches! Thank you! :D
