Inspiration for Cheap and Simple Lunch Ideas
Make Use of a Meal Plan
Simply take a look at your week, decide what you want to eat for lunch and stick to it! This helps know exactly what you need for cooking and reduces any waste in food or money. Making the use of a meal plan and meal kit, like EveryPlate, can make lunch simpler. Pre-portioned ingredients are delivered to your door, without the fuss of grocery shopping. These simple recipes can then be made for dinner or lunch to accommodate your schedule and ensure you're staying to plan ahead of the week.
Re-Invent Leftovers
A great way to make lunch even easier is to repurpose any leftovers from dinner the night before. Whether that's reinventing the meat from the dish i.e. using roast chicken for a sandwich or a salad, or just reheating your dinner, this will require no extra cooking and stops any food going to waste, too. Our EveryPlate meals offer great portions, which means you might be able to stretch your dinner into your lunch recipe, too. Why not give it a try?
Keeping Lunch Simple
Make The Most of Seasonal Produce
Create dishes using seasonal fruits and vegetables as they often tend to be cheaper and taste better - as they're much more fresh! You can batch buy and prep and even freeze your seasonal produce so that you can make the most of bulk buying coupons and save money on the ingredients you know you're going to use.Cook From Scratch
Creating more of an event in cooking lunch can make it fun and stop lunch from having to be boring. It can also help you refrain from eating out which will also help keep some pennies in your pocket. For simple pasta dishes, cook sauces from scratch instead of store bought and implement this through a range of dishes to save money and make your lunch taste exactly how you like.Keep Lunch Simple
