Asked about “Saving on School Lunches”

Every day I pack both my daughter and husband ...

Every day I pack both my daughter and husband sandwiches for lunch, and every day they tell me their bread was soggyand gross and so they eat only the lunchmeat. I have tried packing sandwiches at the last minute. I have tried putting them as far from the ice pack as possible, and I've even tried wrapping the ice pack in a kitchen towel to reduce the moisture. Can someone please help me? I'm wasting sooooo much money!

How to Prevent Soggy Sandwiches

Step 1

Place your lunch meat on the bread, but leave the sandwich free of any condiments. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or put it in a zip-lock sandwich bag.

Step 2
Put your vegetables, such as lettuce and tomato, in a separate bag. Sandwiches become soggy when veggies sit on top of it for an extended period. Instead, add them right before eating the sandwich.
Step 3
Pack condiments separately. Mustard and mayo can saturate the bread. Purchase some small containers to place the mayo or mustard in. You can also buy single serving mayo or mustard packets to take with your lunch.
Step 4
Place a small amount of butter on the bread before adding the lunch meat and cheese. The butter "seals" the bread and actually keeps it from getting soggy.
Step 5
Keep the sandwich in a cool place until you eat it. If exposed to high temperatures, your sandwich will get soggy and your veggies may wilt.
Step 6
Change breads. Denser, heartier breads, like a whole grain rye, take longer to get soggy.
