McDonalds end-of-the-week kids treat costing around £30! Happy meal recipe

I used to get the kids a McDonald's on a Friday as an end-of-the-week treat. However, some weeks it was costing around £30. I got some picnic boxes (10 for £3.50 = 35p each - there's a huge variety of designs available) from Amazon and some paper bags (50 for £3.65 = 7p each).

Recipe - Then I made my own chicken nuggets (£1.99 for 15 = 13p each/39p per portion) and chips (skin-on-fries in this case but any chips will do, £1 = 25p per portion). I added a Fruit Shoot from Morrisons (15 for £3.75 = 25p each). Altogether with the boxes, paper bags, etc it cost £1.31 per child or £3.93 total. As additional extras I added a small toy each (which I already had) and a sachet of ketchup (50 for £7.24 = 14p each). The kids really enjoyed it and ate the lot! Being able to have a "Fakeaway" for less than a fiver once a week makes a huge difference to our budget. Yes, it takes a little more work and there is the cost of fuel for cooking it to consider, but that's nothing compared to what we were paying.
