Many delis and restaurants have them available for purchase and you can order exactly what your family likes. A deli is really the most inexpensive route to go when you want to buy an already prepared lunch. They’ll likely have a supply of picnic baskets available too, but if you already have your own, you need only order the picnic hamper foods and beverages. If you do this, you should bring the basket along when you pick up your lunch so you can pack it right on the spot. Don’t forget to include an ice pack to keep the food chilled until it’s time to eat.

Some favorites that almost everyone enjoys are sandwiches. Tuna and egg salad seemed to be the choice that was found in most picnic baskets for years. When you order a picnic hamper you can choose whatever sandwiches your family prefers.
