Budget Family lunch ideas

[nelly]

school hols my mum (she had 5 of us and not a lot of $) used to whip up stuff like:
pocket bread with grated cheese carrot and salami
pocket bread with a mix of cheese tomato sauce and tuna (or used to do cheese on toast w this too)
she'd buy a long french stick and make huge sandwiches with salead/ meat / etc but we used to help and made a stack of yummy food for everyone
leftovers sandwiches - we'd always have a lump of left over roast or corned beef in the fridge
picnics

Thanks for the suggestions Nelly. I was thinking of cooking up a big silverside for sandwiches and salads. Just want to be prepared so we are not going to the supermarket every 5 minutes,

Maybe just do salad rolls or leftovers from the night before?

even a nice chunky veg soup with crusty bread...mmm

wraps are always good - have frozen chooken in the freezer (just simple oven bake stuff), pita wraps in the cupboard and salad in the fridge - works a treat. if you're not wanting a heavy lunch, you can do them without meat

we also do this with burritto mince - make it in bulk, freeze in small portion, and defrost for something different at lunch...
