Frugal Work Lunch?

[Anonymous No.26528892]

How to save money on my lunch? My fellow wagies and I have to bring lunch to our cage. I am spending too much money on sandwiches, chips, and soda from WaWa.
But I also don’t want to make my own lunch.
Is frozen dinners smart?
What do you do for lunch, /biz/?

Make lunch you fucking autistic child.

Beans+rice cost nothing and are easy to make.

sardines. healthy, cheap, tasty, zero-to-minimum prep.
downside is smell, but in my experience it grows on people

You do your own Batch cooking on Sundays to make sure you're well fed so your employer can extract your labor more efficiently. Don't forget, never join a union or demand labor representation on the board of directors. Your masters won't like that, will they?

Buy some tupperware containers and the supplies to make your own of the shit you already buy, prep for the week every sunday by making a bunch of sandwiches

Thinking this and some sardines would be based. Maybe fruits too?

Just do all of your meal prep on the weekend, put em in plastic containers and pull em out each day.

Shouldn't take more than an hour or so and it's healthier/cheaper anyway.

Are those marked up?
Pretty sure they are expensive, being a onions goy is a status symbol

here's probably the cheapest lunch and pretty easy to make the night before
>buy bulk bag of rice
>buy some cans of black beans
>packet of taco seasoning
>jar of salsa
>boil rice until cooked
>put beans in
>mix in taco seasoning
>mix some salsa in
lettuce is pretty cheap so you can put some of that in too. I also put avocado in it but those aren't cheap

Tuna & crackers is cheap, and tuna's good for you too. But buying ingredients in bulk and doing meal prep on Sunday nights for the whole week as other anons have suggested will work out much cheaper in the long run. Seriously, stop eating out and you'll be amazed at how much money you'll save.

It’s not that bad. Last year when we went on lockdown and weren’t allowed to leave for two weeks the company bought us soda and premium hoagie sandwiches.

start pickling eggs. delicious, filling, gives gains
>dozen eggs
>apple cider vinegar
>spices like mustard seed, clove, black peppercorns, sugar, salt
>mashed garlic

I have a couple dozen single egg size jars that I rotate thru. one day of prep makes 2-3 weeks of lunch

get a rice cooker. get microwavable bean and lentil based saucy foods to go with it. Buy chicken breast and learn to season and grill/pan cook

Just put ground beef and rice/mashed taters in a pyrex nibba

even if you're working in scaffolding for 12 hours, you can still wash a cup of rice, put it in a rice cooker, and boil a few eggs
add some furikake; boom, lunch tomorrow in 2 minutes of active time

Don't eat lunch, have a substantial breakfast.

you cook dinner, smart choices things on sale. then you bring the left overs into work to re-heat. Bonus points if you can create a 2nd new dish easily from the first.
