Another round of meal prep guy snacks for my husband. It's nothing too exciting as many of the sales were similar to past weeks, and he still needs food that is easy to eat on the go. I have more ideas, but they are impractical right now for his job.
Deli turkey slices (2oz., 50 cal.)
Strawberries (1/2 cup, 25 cal.)
Boiled egg (1 egg, 78 cal.)
Green grapes (1/2 cup, 52 cal.)
Total calories for the box are approximately 210 calories.
Not pictured, I added a string cheese to each box, so add 70 cal. for that, bringing us up to 280 cal.
For costs, the turkey was some of the deli meat that was on sale, so it ended up being around $0.70 per serving. The strawberries are around $0.45, and $0.15 for the egg. The grapes are around $0.24 per serving. Total cost for this lunch is $1.54. Add the string cheese at $0.33 (Kroger brand) and we're up to $1.87.
Total cost for four snacks was $6.16 without the cheese or $7.48 with the cheese.
Once again, for comparison, our grocery has:
$5 - chicken salad, grapes, cheese, flatbread, whole box weighed 5.52 oz
$4.59 - apples, boiled egg, cheeses, cranberries and almonds, whole box weighed 7.35 oz.
$4.59 - apples, cheese, turkey pepperoni bites, cranberries, whole box weighed 6.75 oz.
These boxes are EasyLunchboxes Snack Box once again. Grab them on Amazon for about $12 for a 4-pack.
