Lunch ideas

Pasta salad?
Todays had a can of value tuna thrown in, together with a lone yellow pepper which wouldn't have made it much longer and some sultanas.
The level of exoticness(is that a word) depends exactly on how many days that particulas pasta salad is away from shopping day.
I made for 3 adults
Half bag of own brand pasta twists = 16p
Can value tuna = 28p
Pepper from value bag = 21p
Value sultanas = (approx)5p
Dollop Hellmans mayonnaise =(approx)20p
Total =£1.35 /3 =45p

hi wanno , :j


i have thinking about different things to have for lunch, as well :rolleyes:

this week, after we had pasta on the night, i kept some seperate and ate it cold for my lunch the next day with a slice of hm bread and butter yum. i used wholewheat pasta quils and bolginasie.


its nice cold and the wholewheat pasta is low gi, so it gives constant energy for the afternoon :T .

I generally have soup from Sainsburys BGTY range (as it;s really stew-like, thick and healthy - very filling) say 3 days a week (35p a tin), a brown roll once or twice a week with it (say 20p each) and the other 2 days have either leftovers or a jacket potato with bologs/chilli on or whatever.

So, yes...

Jacket Potatoes
Pasta salad
Salad, with prawns/chicken, etc
Soup - tin or homemade
wraps - tuna, chicken, salad etc
leftovers

My OH and I spend about £5 a week altogether on lunches. On Payday I usually go to M&S though

If you have a microwave, you could have pittabread with scrambled egg. Have brown pittas - the GI is lower, meaning constant energy -you can usually get them reduced to at most 20p per packet - have two 7p and two eggs, depending on which kind you like can start from 6p each. If you're feeling flush you can add some cheese (which, btw is bogof in sainsburys just now - you can get 1.2kg for £3)

Pasta salads - cucumber, peppers, peanuts and a little mayo is nice. Tuna, anything really, depends what you like.
Any leftovers.
Homemade soup and bread. I made broccoli soup the other day: broccoli - 19p, potato 9p, two small onions unsure, say 20p salt and pepper 10p and stock cubes unsure 30p (very high guesstimate). 88p at most for lovely fresh, homemade soup - at least four portions. Serve with grated cheese on top and bread.
Loads more, but can't think!
