How do you create a free lunch?
Open the fridge and see what’s in there. The potential is never-ending. A packet of ham, a piece of cheese, a bit of salad, and you’ve got a tasty sandwich. Leftover curry, bolognese or chilli, are all great jacket potato fillings. Whilst the end of a pot of hummus, leftover coleslaw and a spoonful of beans can be rolled into a wrap.
With a little bit of imagination, free-lunching is quick, easy and delicious.
Do you need any special kit for free-lunching?
You don’t need any special tools for free-lunching, just a few washed-out plastic tubs and a creative streak. In fact, not only is free-lunching a great way to save money, it’s also a brilliant way to reuse packaging too.
Experienced free-lunchers often find themselves keeping old bread bags to wrap sandwiches in and saving empty yoghurt pots, margarine tubs and plastic takeaway boxes to take leftovers to work. A thermos is useful for keeping drinks or soup hot. You could buy a proper lunch bag, but a big food box with a close fitting lid would do the job.
Whatever you do, don’t forget the vital component… a REAL fork! Leftovers just don’t taste as good if eaten with plastic cutlery. A plastic fork only manages silly little mouthfuls and is far too bendy!
