Lunch Recommendations

I'm doing a budget overhaul starting in January. One of my big focus areas is going to be reducing our food budget by meal planning and using coupons. Figuring a plan for M-F is easy, but what do you eat for lunch on the weekends? We either pick up something or don't eat at all. I just can't eat a Lean Cuisine at home. TIA.

We don't eat out much at all.  Here are some things we do for lunch on the weekends: leftovers, Trader Joe's Organic White Cheddar mac'n'cheese (so good and doesn't taste as processed as other brands of macncheese), BLTs, cheese and crackers, salads,  and quesadillas.  The key to lunches on the weekends for us is to make them quick and easy.  We're usually on the go or pretty busy with chores so we don't want to take a lot of time.  By keeping a few key ingredients always in stock we can make a variety of food quickly  HTH!

Soup when it's cold outside, and we often get nice lunch meat and make turkey or ham sandwiches to go with the soup. We've also had grilled cheese or grilled veggie sandwiches, or sloppy joes.

On the weekends, we usually eat a large breakfast and then we're good again until dinner. 

What do you feed your kiddos for lunch?  Can you make adult versions and eat that as lunch? (grilled cheese for kids, grilled cheese with some added bacon for mom & dad etc)  

Salads?

Making mini pizzas on the naans you can get at Target works really well. On the weekends I normally try to cook a few things that we will eat throughout the week so we mostly focus on eating leftovers in our house. GL!
