Am I kidding myself thinking DD can go to school with minimal pre packed foods?

You can buy lunch boxes now that have all the seperate compartments.
Mine usually take a sandwich, capsicum, carrots, grapes, jatz & cheese, sao's, bikkies, cupcakes (I make), apple, banana, watermelon (on occasion).
DD2 loves the home brand le snacks, so will take one of them a day. Other than that its a heck of a lot cheaper to not buy the packaged stuff. We'll occasionally get chips or pop corn, but not often. I use resealable bags that I can wash & re use if I have the energy, or I'll put all their fruit in one & bikkies/cakes in the other. I try to use as little as possible. Next year I'm thinking about getting the lunch boxes that have the seperate parts.

ETA - I think DD1 looses more stuff than DD2! DD2 even brings her rubbish home. It all goes straight back in the bag.
