We made some delicious lunches for under €15 to last us the week using some products from the SuperValu own-brand range.
Are you getting tired of the same lunch every day? With many of us still working from home, there is still the opportunity to have some seriously tasty lunches that won't break the bank.
Our very own Alan and Elijah teamed up with SuperValu to make some exciting lunchtime dishes that collectively cost just under €15 using SuperValu's own brand range, which includes over 3,000 quality products. That's a steal if you ask me, especially since there are massive price cuts happening at the moment.
Going head to head to see who could create the most exciting lunches with the budget given, here's how they got on.
