Summer is such a busy time of year that, too often, lunches become trips to the drive-thru or orders from the takeout menu. It is super easy, though, to pack lunches for kids and adults when you use some of these best summer lunch ideas.

The best way to get everything you need for the best summer lunches is to shop the Safeway Anniversary Sale which runs from August 1st through the 14th. You can find everything from Doritos, Nacho Cheese to Quaker Instant Oatmeal Maple & Brown Sugar, to Pure Leaf Unsweetened Tea and more.

I love shopping at my local Safeway store because I know I will be able to find everything I am searching for in one, easy-to-shop store. Plus, with the Anniversary Sale pricing, I know I am going to get an amazing value, too.

One of my favorite lunches is a Greek Chicken Sandwich, Doritos Nacho Cheese chips, and a fruit cup. I pack both in an insulated tote, and they are ready for lunch whenever I am.

One thing my kids love doing is taking breakfast for lunch! Since camp starts pretty early, they don't always get a yummy breakfast before we head out of the door. So, I pack Quaker Instant Oatmeal, in the Maple & Brown Sugar flavor, for them in their lunches! It's the perfect way to enjoy breakfast for lunch!

Doritos Nacho Cheese chips go great in just about any lunch and also make the perfect afternoon snack. Even when I send Quaker Instant Oatmeal in the Maple and Brown Sugar flavor for lunch, I still pack a small bag of chips too. They also go great with just about any sandwich, especially one of our favorites: a Balsamic Chicken Sandwich.

As mentioned, starting August 1st, Safeway will begin its Anniversary Sale, which runs through August 14th. It is the best time to get some lunch box essentials that your whole family will enjoy. Be sure to stop in your local Safeway store to pick up great products from the sale.

I purchased these products and more at my local Safeway, but you can also stock up and save at any of the Albertsons
Companies family of stores including Albertsons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw's, Star Market, and Carrs/Safeway. Visit Safeway.com to find a store near you and discover some fun meal-prep tips and recipe ideas!
