Thread: PLEASE HELP Low or free ready to eat meals on EE?!

Okay, this is driving me insane now, seriously. Been on for like 3/4 weeks now. I am a student in university and often have long, long hours, where I barely get time to eat as I'm so busy! Before SW I would have just got something out of the cafe at uni, but that's out of the question. I really need something I can buy from the asda or tesco before I go to uni, as I have to travel there early and often don't have time to make anything. Please, please help! It's driving me insane and more often than not I'm not having anything in like 12 hours other than fruit because I just don't know what I'm allowed to buy. Also I don't have access to a microwave or anything so I can't have a ready meal.

If I'm in a hurry I grab a crunchy salad (in the salad aisle in tesco it's in like a plastic bowl) and then top it with Bernard Mathews chicken slices (I think they're free) or do my homework the night before so I know which ones were free or low in syns.
Could you do a lunch box the night before?? It only takes me about half an hour each night and it will save loads of pennies

This thread might help.

Tesco do salads near their sandwiches - the falafel on is free, the chilli chicken and noodle is 2 1/2 syns. Sushi is 1 1/2 syns per 100 grams.

The easiest thing to do is just get yourself a food flask and take whatever you fancy - leftovers from dinner, soups, chilli, curry, stews etc so great in this weather. You could batch cook baked tatties and take one along with whatever filling you want. SW quiche or frittata. Cous cous is really easy to do in a tupperware type box. By a tea from the cafe but ask for the bag to be left out. Just cover the cous cous then put the lid on and five minutes later its ready.Add chicken and/or veggies along with a touch of dressing and you are sorted. I know you think you do not have time to do anything but your situation is really no different to that of someone going to work, its just a case of being organised and doing a bit of forward thinking. There are loads of threads on here full of lunch options you could be taking and better than a salad

If Im hungry on the go I tend to just grab a pack of chicken slices and nibble on them. Tikka and plain tend to be free and other flavours are a couple fo syns max. Sainsburys vegetarian sushi is only 1.5 syns a packet. I tend to take food from home now x

Why not cook a big bowl of pasta the night before and add to a plain salad to fill you up and keep you going and you could buy a piece of chicken from the deli counter. Or a jacket pot and beans from the cafe at Uni and if they dont do them complain because I bet there are others that would appreciate a jacket pot.
