As a busy working mom, I find it is a constant struggle to think of interesting snacks to fill my son’s lunchbox for school. I end up resorting to the same boring lunches every week, as school and work lunches are often made in a hurry before we leave for school in the morning – despite my best intentions of preparing them the night before… Can you relate?
Then I discovered The Lunchbox – and everything changed! The Lunchbox is a monthly subscription box service that delivers a box filled with lunch packs for every day of the working/school month, containing a wide variety of wholesome, yummy lunch snack items. There’s a box for kids, a box for adults, a nut-free option and even one for banters! The Kids Box and Nutfree Box also include a beverage per day! The value Box is the latest addition to this range and offers a more affordable option where the snacks are not pre-packed into separate bags, unlike the other boxes where the snacks are pre-packed into 21 bags, one for each working day of the month.
I recently received a Value Box from The Lunchbox to try out and I can honestly say it was a game changer for me! It makes packing lunches just that much easier – you just choose the snacks you want for that day, and pop them in the lunch bags. They are great for kids and adults, so you can use them for school or work lunches. The box is filled with 60 snacks, so you can choose how many to use per day – if you use three snacks per day, it should last you 20 school/working days.
The snacks included in the Value Box are biltong/droëwors packs, mixed nuts, biscuits, dried fruit, health bars, rice cakes, popcorn and pretzels. The variety is great and my son LOVED the idea of these mini snack packs (he’s a great snacker) and immediately claimed the box of snacks as his own. I found it just made packing lunches that much easier – I didn’t have to think about what snacks to include and I didn’t have to shop for snacks either. An added bonus is they are all healthy snacks too! I really loved the convenience.
The retail value per box is more than R600 and The Lunchbox is offering the Value box at R595 including free delivery anywhere in South Africa. You can also order the box as a once-off. I tried to work out the cost of each item and there is no way you could beat this value if you bought each item yourself. So it definitely saves you money as well as time!
“The big idea behind The Lunchbox is to take a load off mom’s shoulders. To reduce her time spent in shop queues and behind kitchen counters. And ultimately, to give her that little bit of extra time to spend with her precious family, or to do something she loves,” says Michelle Schoeman, founder of The Lunchbox.
“We’ve done the research, and can happily report that The Lunchbox doesn’t only conserve time and energy, but it saves money too! We find the best products on the market and deliver a month’s worth of lunch to your door for less than what it would have cost you to do the same – every month. What’s not to love? I whole-heartedly adore what I do, and look forward to assisting many more South African families in the future! Not only has The Lunchbox solved my problem of having healthy school lunches and in between snacks on the ready all the time, but I know that it is also changing the lives of mothers in the same predicament as me.”
