Our Favorite Sandwich Alternative for School Lunches

ALDI Lunch Ideas

Update: The giveaway has closed, but read on to learn about an easy way to make your non-sandwich-eating kids happy!

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not one of those fancy school lunch Moms. The chances that I’ll ever cut my kids’ fruit and veggies into the shape of Minions or Bunny Rabbits are slim to none.

I like simplicity. I like lunch ideas that don’t require more brain power than I can muster at 7 am. And I like giving my kids’ food that is healthy and I know they will actually eat.

We have one son who is not a sandwich eater and one that is. After some trial and error, I stumbled onto a lunch idea for my non-sandwich-eating son that is just as easy and passes his test.

Sandwich alternative

It involves the same components as a sandwich – ham and cheese and Miracle Whip – but I wrap it up in a flour tortilla like a pinwheel instead. Easy peasy.

I discovered ALDI’s Never Any! Uncured Black Forest Ham a while back and seriously love it better than any other lunch meat I’ve had.

The Never Any! line of meats includes a variety of meats like chicken, turkey and sausage, and each product is certified by the USDA as meeting three criteria:

1. No antibiotics

2. No added hormones or steroids

3. No animal by-products (vegetarian fed)

Add to this fact that it’s just $3.29 per 7 oz. package and I’m sold. I never leave ALDI without it.

My son loves it too and gobbles up his lunch daily without a single carrot carved in the shape of Mickey Mouse. That’s a win-win in my book.

Our favorite alternative to Sandwiches for School Lunches.

I’m excited to share that one lucky Cha-Ching on a Shoestring reader will win a $50 ALDI Gift Certificate in honor of their new Never Any! Line of Meats.

    I shared on Facebook – “I have seen their “Never Any” brand, but I have yet to give it a try! I continue to be impressed by the price and quality of the fruits and vegetables I buy at Aldi.”

    I am already a subscriber. I have purchased lunch meat at Aldi, but I am not sure it has been this brand. I plan on trying it the next time I am there.

    I haven’t tried this particular meat, but I will have to. I use a lot of their gluten-free products when I’m doing an Event because they are the cheapest pricing for good quality I can find around!

    I haven’t tried Aldi’s lunch meat yet, but have tried just about everything else! Love Aldi!

    We love Aldi’s lunch meats,,”,Never Any” Try rolling Turkey or Ham w/a slice of your favorite cheese around a Bread stick or a large Pretzel Enjoy. No cutting and it will work for sandwich or non sandwich lovers. They will gobble up the Turkey or slam dunk the Ham -:)…
    PS you could also slap on some mustard, butter, mayo or miracle whip.
