There's a box in asda thats two tier, one large top tier for a sandwich and the other is separated into two. I just use that. i think it was three or four pounds. It holds enough for a substantial lunch. if I can be helpful with anything else feel free to pm me. x

I've always been interested in Bento boxes... What kind of things do you put in yours?

I'm another leftovers person. Even took them to uni, was often known to eat sausage, mash, veg and gravy cold! I take a little cool bag. Will be easier come September as I have got myself a full time teaching job, and school has got a fridge and microwave, so can take stuff to reheat if I fancy. Just make sure you cook extra or make lunch at dinner, doesn't feel like any extra work then.

Tomorrow is Cheese and Marmite sandwich, with onion, finely chopped.

I'm having HM hummus with red pepper, carrot and celery sticks and some ryvita thins for lunch tomorrow.

This thread has inspired me to make lunch rather than buy it!

Things like fresh fruit, cooked meats (from a joint not packet) eggs, fish, sauces, small sarnies. Anything really today its egg, sushi, cherries and tomato.x

Im home based as is OH and we are having cheese/ham/salad and mayo sandwiches with orange and yogurt for pudding. I will also have a Bounty bar as I need the calories.

I've just got an office job so it means I have to bring my own food in (no supermarkets in the area) so I'm making rice dishes or noodles and veggies in a box to take with me with no microwave here, just a kettle so sometimes I cheat and bring in a pot noodle. I bring snacks like nuts and raisins and heat up stuff in advance so I can eat it warm at my desk from my bag. Also packs of sushi (my guilty pleasure)

Just wanted to say thanks to those who responded to my post, I see it's been moved here, lots of good ideas to give a go, thank you!

Forgot to mention the packs of rice/corn crackers I store in the cupboard and the cheese slices in the fridge. They are handy for snacking on

I am totally amazed that people still go out to lunch or buy a lunch 5 days a week. That is big money and probably has less nutritional value than that which you can put together yourself in a few minutes.
