I am on a tight budget so I don’t buy lots of biscuits or juice.
When the grandchildren come home from school I give them fruit or wholegrain toast with a healthy topping.
I have always grown vegetables and that also helps with the budget.

The same sandwiches everyday can soon get boring. Try some of our yummy, healthy ideas. The variety of fillings is limited only by your imagination. Try some of the new bread products at your local supermarket. There are so many shapes, colours and flavours to choose from.
A tasty after-school snack. Use any combination of your favourite fillings. We have told you our favourites, but get creative and invent your own!
