Doea your dc take jelly in their school packed lunch? What sort of pot do you use?

Sorry for the dull thread, but i'm trying to work out how to save money and every little helps! So my question.....

DD likes to take a jelly in her packed lunchbox, i've been buying the ready made pots but want to stop as they're very expensive. What could I make up jelly in so that she can still take it to school? Would a tiny tuppaware pot covered in clingfilm work or would that just end up everywhere? Maybe I could find small lidded tuppaware pots? any idea where from?

I have some little pots from Wilkinsons which have clip fastenings on the side. I haven't tried them with jelly but I think it would work as the seal is pretty tight. There are lots of different sizes and I'm sure the smallest are well under £1
Its a good idea and I think I'll give it a go.

I got some little pots from the pound shop and they have clips around the outside.

We have jeely with fruit cocktail, I get the fruit cocktail at the bootom of the shelf unitl in sainsbury.

i buy a big bag of sultanas and put thoses in another smaller pot and also get a big tub of yogurt and put two desserts spoons in a pot - this is cheaper than the large pots or even the small pots as then I get to have some yogurt aswell

I've got mini Tupperware pots that I used to have packed lucnh items in myself, at secondary school . THey've lasted over 20 years!

We've got these which are fabbo. Can be used as little jelly pots, or can be turned out as mini jellies. This is not a bad price for 6 methinks (mine didn't come from this website, I just googled 'mini jelly moulds').

i have those but they can leak - so don't use them for pack ups

Oh, mine are OK. If they're good and set and the lids are on properly they're OK I reckons.

thanks everyone. I think i'll have a look in the wilkinsons, thanks and maybe the £1 shop
