This is a partnered post with Family Dollar to share back to school breakfast and lunch solutions.
The lazy days of summer have ended, and are now replace with the hustle and bustle of the school year. Carpooling, checking homework, signing permission slips, packing healthy school lunches and getting everyone out the door on time with a full belly is a LOT of work! In our latest post on the Family Dollar Blog, Laura and I share some of the back to school breakfast and lunch solutions we found by visiting our local Family Dollar store.
We found some great back to school lunch ideas, along with a variety of lunch boxes, ice packs, and sandwich keepers. The Family Dollar grocery aisles and freezer section have everything you need for a quick family breakfast and healthy school lunches that your child will eat.
One of the solutions we have come up with is to create a grab-and-go breakfast station, with foods that the kid can help themselves to. The same idea can be used to make a back to school lunch station where you keep a variety of foods, snacks, and drinks for your child’s lunch box. Having easy access to everything in one basket or on one shelf in the pantry will save you time.
Head on over to the Family Dollar Blog and check out all of our back to school breakfast and lunch ideas!

My kids usually eat breakfast and lunch at school. But that is because they are too gosh darn lazy to fix it in the mornings. Thank you
I would love to buy groceries if i won
I can definitely use help on lunches! I have 2 picky eaters who don’t like school lunches..always a fun time making lunches:)
I would buy lots of toilet paper and shampoo!
Always pack fruits and veggies in their lunch and make sure they eat breakfast! We watch TV and eat cereal every morning.
If I win this gift card, I am gonna buy a bunch of Jif to go packs for when they get home from school snacks.
I would spend the gift card on school supplies and healthy snacks.
If I win I would use it on school supplies for my granddaughter.
I would get some snacks for the kids lunch
Breakfast is easy with frozen foods or cereal. We love the brown n serve sausage, a quick waffle or breakfast sandwich and its a nice hot breakfast. We also eat a lot of cereal and toast. Lunch is easy, kids usually buy hot lunch at school!
