Tips

The best way to reduce the stress and time involved in making lunches is to plan. For example, you can save time by doing your grocery shopping only once a week. To make sure you’ve got everything you need and don’t have to make more trips back to the grocery store, plan your meals and lunchboxes ahead of time. Drawing up a grocery list will make your shopping experience more efficient and ensure you don’t forget anything.
