‘I’ve saved so much money!’ Mum reveals how she uses a shot glass to make DIY Le Snack packs

‘This is the best hack I’ve ever seen!’ - by Amy Sinclair
  • 26 Aug 2019

Sick of blowing non-stop cash on school snack packs for your kids?

Well one savvy mum has come up with a genius idea to making her own DIY Le Snack style kits - and it’s taking the internet by storm. 

‘I’ve saved so much money!’ Mum reveals how she uses a shot glass to make DIY Le Snack packs

Sharing her genius hack on Facebook, mum Telisha says she used a SHOT GLASS to make cheese, ham and biscuit snack packs for her little ones - saving big dollars in the process. 

Writes Telisha: ‘I just saved a whole lot of money making my own lunchables.

‘Who knew shot glasses had other purposes!’

That’s right, Telisha uses a shot glass to cut the ham to be the same size as her biscuits - as well cutting small squares of cheese - and then piles them into reusable containers for her kids to take to school. Genius!

Her post has gone viral on social media, with tens of thousands sharing and commenting on her post.

‘This is the best hack I’ve ever seen! I’m going to save hundreds!’ said one. Added another: ‘Genius! So clever!’

Added a third: ‘What a cool idea, my little dude would love this, thanks for sharing.’

Said one more: ‘Now that idea’s worth a shot of vodka! Brilliant!’

While others have been concerned that the biscuits might become soggy, another mum suggested using Kmart’s 3-section $4 containers. ‘I already do this, works out well,’ she writes. ‘I either use Devon, ham, or salami . The Kmart $4 3 section containers are awesome for this.’

Love it!
