Wildly imaginative, but Lidl sells wild caught pacific salmon for £1.99 a can (roughly 400g). A heck of a lot cheaper than other shops and it makes a grand salmon mayo. Squeamish folk might want to avoid it if you can't remove skin and spines :rotfl:
This week is: brown rolls with salmon mayo and cucumber, tangerines and bananas, crisps and chicken cuppa soups.
I will toddle off and spreadsheet up an average cost because I'm just that cool
£1.53? Packed lunches are feeling more expensive since I gave up sliced horse!0 -
Hey, hope I can join you! I take my lunch to work most days - I do buy/go out for lunch about once a month which I now view as a bit of a treat! Whilst trying not to be too dull with lunch options, we do have a breadmaker so tend to eat quite a lot of bread! Today :
cheese and pickle sandwich (picke is home made though - by bro in law!)
some cherry tomatoes
a yoghurt, an apple, two clementines and a lidl cereal bar (I always need an emergency back up food item just in case get starving in the afternoon!)
I drink tea/coffee/hot chocolate and water all free at work.
Making some smoked mackerel 'pate' this evening which I will have with some rye bread, tomatoes and olives tomorrow. I do make soup at home but havent yet brought any in for lunch but will try that this week as we have a fridge and microwave so I should make use of it really.
I work at home one day a week so I tend to have something hot then.... Hoping to get some inspiration from this thread!!Sick and tired of waking up sick and tired...

Another ham sandwich today, but today on granery bread.
Banana, fresh pineapple and oatcakes for snacks.
Colleague heated fish rissotto in the microwave yesterday and it still stinks - threw my breakfast away as it was tainted; so might have to buy another snack at lunchtime.
