Don’t have kids.
But wife and I cook more food than needed every night.
We pack the leftovers for lunch for the next day, and for those days when we don’t feel like cooking (saves us from going into a restarant when we could have cooked home).

I think I tried this with meat and other sandwiches before. Note – it does not work with lettuce and tomato =). They kinda turn to mush. PB/J is a good idea.

Good idea! We make all of our food the night before to avoid the rush in the morning, but never thought of freezing a bunch at a time. I’ll need to try it.

I am not a big fan of PB or J, but when I make Ghoulash I tend to make 5-10 servings at a time. It can be frozen, but you will want to leave it just in the fridge for at least 3 days before freezing it so that it can self-marinate. It tastes better after reheating than it does originally. Grab a plastic container out of the fridge, freeze anything I won't eat within a week, and it's a ready made microwavable meal. Since I eat probably twice as much as the average person, you can probably get more meals out of than I do while making the same amount.

At least Nickel isn’t buying these frozen pb&j “things” These sound gross, and you have to be pretty darn lazy to buy these.

That is a great idea. My little one just started Kindergarten so we are just begining many years of lunch packing for school. Thanks.

tdfb: They’re not still frozen when you eat them… They actually taste exactly like a ‘fresh’ sandwich by the time I break one out at lunch time. Now if you’re thumbing your nose at the idea of PB&J in general, that’s an entirely different issue.

Frozen PBJs, ummm, ok. I started packing my lunch a month ago and it’s saving me $20-30 a week!

Never thought about frozen pb&j sandwiches!! I don’t have kids yet, but it is kind of a pain to make and pack lunches every morning. However, my girlfriend wakes up to do her hair and make-up earlier than I do, so I now just wake up at the same time and make coffee and lunches which save about $2.50 and $11 respectively every day.
