Aldi has revealed a set of healthy and easy to make packed lunch recipes for under £3 to help people returning back to work maintain the savings they’ve enjoyed during lockdown.
As the lockdown measures start to ease and more people prepare to return to work, many are likely to fall out of their frugal habits and buy lunch on-the-go. To help people save money whilst enjoying nutritionally balanced meals, Aldi has developed five quick and healthy lunch time recipes that can be easily recreated at home.
Each recipe ranges from as little as 80p to just under £3 per person and with UK employees spending an average of £5.26* on on-the-go lunches, Aldi’s recipes could save people more than £10 a week, which is over £580 a year.
All recipes can be accessed on the Aldi website, with easy-to-follow, step by step instructions and a list of ingredients which can purchased in store. To create these recipes at home shoppers will need the following ingredients as well as essential seasoning items, including salt, pepper and olive oil.
