Picnics when out will save you loads - Continued

Left over pizza is great for lunch on the run put in baggies in the cooler.  When you are on the go, lunch could be a few bananas, crackers, baggies of cereal and a few cans of soda. If you want to keep the cost really low, fill thermoses or drink bottles up with kool aid or juice and you can have drinks for every one for just pennies while you are on the go.

Left over meat loaf, chicken patties, and even left over roast can make great cold sandwiches on the go.  When the children are hungry but don’t want to stop and eat for too long, they will eat these sandwiches up fast!

If you like to make cookies, having a tin of cookies on hand will ensure that you always have a snack that you can pack no matter what day of the week that it is! Inexpensive and every one will love them.

Late Afternoon Frenzy
Have you been running all day long and need a little pick me up or something to give the children when they say they are ‘starving’?  Your cooler is about empty and what is not empty no one wants to eat again.  Stopping at a fruit stand for some oranges, running in to the store and grabbing a few pre-made hoagies or sandwiches can be expensive, but the late after noon meals or snacks are a great time to splurge now that you have saved money all day on the snacks, treats and lunches that you have brought along!
