Junior Chef: Back to School Lunches Brought to You By Metro!

Back to school means back to school lunches.  Metro wanted to lend a helping hand to momstown Oakville Moms and show all the great options they have for making school lunches easy for Moms and yummy for kids!  Our Junior Chef's got together this morning to assemble some delicious school lunches.

First the kids decorated their lunch bags using crayons, markers, stickers and foam letters for their names.

Then we went over the stations which were:

Build a Sandwich

Make Snack Mix

Make a Celery Stop Light

Pick an Applesauce

Pick a Drink

Our snack mix was comprised of marshmallows, raisins, dried cranberries and small cookies.  The small cookies we used were Kraft Fruit Krisps which were part of the 'Do the Math' promotion in the Metro flyer this week and were a really great price!  Make sure you regularly check the Metro flyer for 'Do the Math' products, you can save money on great brand name products that are perfect for school lunches.

Metro's private label brands also provided lots of product choices for our event this morning.

The kids loved cutting their sandwiches into different shapes using cookie cutters (we had butterflies, stars, trains, apples and bunnies) and making the celery stop lights.

Once the kids had assembled their lunches and were ready for story time, we shared the good news with our momstown Oakville mom's that they were each getting a Metro bag to take home with a $10 gift card inside. They were thrilled to say the least!  We made sure that all the Moms knew that until September 27th, when you shop at Metro, you could win $1,000 for you + $1,000 for your school PLUS 1,000 bonus Air Miles!  All you have to do is shop at Metro, save your receipt, then click on the Metro Facebook page to enter.
