Organising a kitchen to prepare for the rigours of preparing children for their first days back at school can save time in the long run, it has been suggested. According to Jennifer Guy, writing for Examiner.com, many families can spend money and time buying items they already have or do not need because they have not taken the time to plan in advance. One money-saving tip offered by Ms Guy is to consider using kitchen tap water instead of commercially-packaged H20.She stated Get a refillable water bottle instead of wasting money on bottled water, adding that parents should write their childs name on the bottom to ensure it does not get lost. People were also advised to keep the fridge stocked up with easy-to-make healthy food options for breakfasts and packed lunches for those days where individuals might be running late. Catherine Hanly, editor at children advice website raisingkids.co.uk, recently advised parents to encourage their offspring to do washing up at the kitchen sink so that they develop a routine.
