Packed Lunches - Ideas & Favourites

Datchet

Fellow Tight-Wads ( that's meant as a compliment...)

I could do with some new packed lunch ideas! I deeply resent having to fork out the thick end of a "bluey" ie £5, to buy a mediocre sarnie and drink at lunch. Also, the food is often too salty, unhealthy, not that fresh - and the waste in packaging is bad.

So I take in a variety of packed lunches & Sometimes Breakfast also. Some of my Favorites are:

If office based:
1. Tin of (35p) sardines, slices of bread to toast & salad box.
2. Frozen tupperware of soup, bread & fruit salad
3. Breakfast - Homegrown Rhubarb with stem ginger + syrup! yum
4. Cheapex Instant Noodles with tub of chopped veg to fill it out

If Mobile in car or train:
3. Pasta / cous cous tuna salad
4. Homemade bread sarnie - Hommus and tomato /cheese / ham

I have a variety of boxes, from Aldi clip boxes, screw top tubes, soup pots, breakfast pots & a Japanese Bento Box.

Any ideas? tell me your favourites

Happy Munching

Mine is a bit different as we get a proper meal at lunch time. Myself and OH work in a Nursing Home.

So I have breakfast at work which is a slice of bread to toast and a boiled egg.
Tea break: OH has satsuma and cherry toms. I have dried fruit - apricots, dates etc.
Pudding for OH: Frozen fruit and yogurt
Afternoon Tea: Mixed nuts and dried fruit.

When we needed lunch, I usually had pasta bake, ravioli or cheese wraps. OH has cob filled with whatever.
