It is the night before school starts, and Facebook is full of posts about the dreaded packed lunch. I popped a batch of popcorn to be a snack for tomorrow. The kids will have their snack in a ziplock bag (reused of course) and mine is in a yogurt container. We eat a lot of yogurt and recently I started to collect the containers to reuse. I won't send these with my kids, but when we go on outings as a family they are great. Friday I was out with friends when they pulled a Folgers container out of their bag filled with goldfish crackers. My first reaction was shock that my buddy was thinking Cheap like me, then I felt proud, and then I thought man, that's going on my blog! Sadly, the picture came out dark. The point is, be creative with the snacks you pack, and the packaging. Kids aren't the only ones that should be eating a packed lunch.
My husband and I live a frugal lifestyle, while still being able to travel and have some fun. We paid off our house in 5 years following these daily tips. Follow along, and proudly answer Guess Who's Cheap? ME!!!
