Now that my son is back in school, and my husband’s teaching schedule is set (at least for this semester), I find that I feel much better — and it’s easier to stick to my health goals. I am much more productive in the mornings, so I try to arrange my schedule so that most of my work is done before lunch.

My son has been doing this for about a year now and averages a few hundred dollars a week. Pack your lunch, and focus on inexpensive meals like sandwiches and leftovers. It’s easier and more affordable to stretch dinner the night before and pack leftovers for lunch than it is to buy extra groceries to pack lunches.

My son will eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Peanut butter and jelly is a staple around my house. When you think of PB&J, you immediately think of sandwiches. I wanted to try something different than cookies and sandwiches. I thought, hey – what about adding preserves and it was at that moment that genius stuck!
