If you’re sick of making packed lunches every night, take a few tips from this mum.
Suzanne, from Queensland, Australia, preps amazing lunch boxes for her, her partner and their three kids for the whole week.
The whole process doesn’t take long on a weekend afternoon and then each day, they all just need to lift a box out of the fridge.
She shared a picture to Trendy Lil Treats, where she bought the lunch boxes that have a space for each thing and a lock, which claims to keep things fresh.
Each compartment as a seal so when you turn the lock, each thing is separated in its own airtight area.
She has 25 boxes and lays them out on the table with one for each person for each day. To keep costs down, she bought some of the lunchboxes on sale or second hand.
Then she can fill it with fruit and snacks and then makes sandwiches for the first few day.
She adds crackers for Thursday and on Friday, her kids order from the canteen so they just need snacks for throughout the day.
The post said: ‘Go Greens have a turn n lock on the lid making them airtight. I pack 2-3 days at a time and it stays fresh. Even cut apple doesnt brown.’
Each lid has the person’s name and the day it needs to be eaten on the top.
The boxes then stack in the bottom of the fridge to make getting everyone ready in the morning easier.
Other parents were impressed with the level of organisation.
One said: ‘I love that she tries to take lunchbox stress out of her week, fingers crossed that everything stays fresh. I’m looking forward to read her review and feedback on her weeks worth prep.’
‘Ok wow, this mumma has prep down,’ another said.
