Packing a lunchbox at home remains one of the easiest ways to save money without sacrificing nutrition.
The last stretch before payday can feel especially long. By the time school fees, transport, electricity and groceries have all been paid, there is often very little left in the budget.
And just when you think you have planned everything carefully, the kids come home asking for tuck shop money, and we all know that those prices have gone up.
A simple packet of chips, juice and a sandwich can easily cost far more than many parents are comfortable spending every day.
That is why packing a lunchbox at home remains one of the easiest ways to save money without sacrificing nutrition.
