Advantages: yummy for me

Disadvantages: maybe not for everyone

The very thought of Packed Lunches really doean't sound appealing. It's always nicer to nip to a shop on your lunch break, or if you have a cafe at your work place then that always sounds more appealing. We have a cafe at our work and although the food is nice, sometimes I just end up eating here for the sake of it, and the cost often mounts up as well. So how do you get round this?

A packed lunch doesn't have to be soggy, warm bread and cheap cuts of meat. Thesdays you can make your packed lunch how you want to.

What do I like in a packed lunch? Well I tend to vary it often, as having the same thing will probably bore you.

For a main thing I often have

The trusty Sandwich - on this I may have tuna mayonaise, Savoury cheese, smoked sausage, chinese chicken

A pitta Bread - usually I have either Chicken or Ham on this with maybe coleslaw, tomato and so on

Pasta and Bolognaise - If i've had this the night before, I often have this for lunch as well, as I like Pasta. It's cheap enough to buy a small tub to put this in.

Ckicken pieces and some rice - I sometimes buy some microwavable rice and use some chicken pieces and mix it together. A few onions and sweetcorn goes nice as well.

So you don't have to use standard bread. You can buy baguettes, wheat bread, Panini, Bagels, Baps and so on.

For other snacks to take I may take a food bag and put some crisps you normally find in larger bags, such as Onion rings, prawn crackers, pringles, nuts and seeds instead of having a standard bag of crisps.

I often chop up some melon, mango or pineapple and perhaps throw a few grapes in and have a nice fruit salad. Always cheaper and nicer if you make your own.

I do like something sweet as well and maybe take a few biscuits or a chocolate bar in.

Juice is usually something that is on offer, and since the offers change often then that isn't that boring.

So that is my take on my packed lunch. I'm sure I may have missed a few things out, but I like my choices!
