School Lunches - What Do You Pack?

Do you pack your lunches for your kids? If you do, what are you sending them to school with?  Are you trying to cut back as this story suggest some parents are (there also is some eye-opening information about packaged foods that are shrinking - large jugs of Tropicana OJ now 10 ounces smaller, fewer sticks in a pack of Wrigley's gum, less peanut butter in a jar of Skippy)?

Share your ideas because I'm sure some of us could use them!

Usually a sandwich, fruit, a small snack, and a healthy drink. They do buy it usually, but I make sure that if we pack it, it is healthy!

We unschool, but we do pack lunches for our son for our trips out. We like to do Bento Trays, a Japanese style of making lunches.

This way we can offer a variety of fresh items and be creative and cut costs.

I pack a little sandwich, a gogurt, fruit, chips or crackers or pretzels, baby carrots, cucumber sticks, etc.

I don't want to buy the packaged lunch like Lunchables because of cost and taste.
