my friend suggested it to me, as she freezes made up sandwhiches each week and just puts them in the kids lunchbox each day, she said it saves her heaps of time. Because its just for Ashlea's lunch for kinder 3 times a week the salad thing isnt a real problem cause she usually sticks to ham and cheese or chicken or peanut butter or honey. She can't take peanutbutter to school but i didnt know what honey would be like when it defrosts??
