Some top ideas for next week, thanks everyone. Never thought of doing a week's shop and leaving at work, genius suggestion.

Today's lunch was a greasy pasty. Had a meeting just after lunch and the paperwork suffered from dirty, meaty fingerprints

Your workmates will thank you! If they are anything like mine, your shopping will be gone by Wednesday.

There are only four of us in the office on a regular basis so food shouldn't go missing. I'm usually the first in and last out too

This is a joke, surely.
It's true because no matter what I put in the sandwich they just don't taste good.
I guess it depends what you put in your sandwiches but mine don't taste of cardboard and plastic. Homeless people would love mine, even the fussy ones
Okay give me some examples or ideas of what you put in your sandwich so I can give them a go. Cost should be around £3 - £5 if possible.

(I know this is a thread about sandwich alternatives but ^ that needs answering 🙂 I'm current comparing bought pot noodle [but not THAT brand] for convenience/speed when I run out of bread)

Lidl salami (full size 'sausage' not a packet of slices), home made chilli jam, salad & a smear of mayo... Cheddar, a red onion chutney, salad.. It's not difficult or expensive (economies of scales & all that), decent bread makes a huge difference, if you using pre-sliced nastiness I'm not surprised (only to be used on proper crap, if lovely Fishfinger sandwiches)

I'm struggling as to why this is a news story, or why ppl would buy supermarket crap everyday

I applaud his use of fresh bread everyday but that off-set by the nasty cheap cheese

A really cheap option is Lidl emmental with French mustard in sliced white bread. Utterly awful unless you cook it in a toastie bag but delicious if you do.

Bagel. Toasted.
Layer pastrami and good cheddar with mustard and gherkins add salad.

Devour.

Regret not making two.

Smash a grab bag of wotsits.
