What lunches do you eat on a weekly basis? (lemdro.id)

I'm looking for easy and cheap options for lunches on weekdays. I mostly eat deli sandwiches and hot dogs right now and I always feel like shit after eating them. I think I need something healthier but I don't have time over my lunch hour to cook anything too fancy. What do you all do for reliable healthy easy lunches?

I make a week of lunches all at once. I have 12 hour shifts so it's kinda breakfast and lunch that I snack on through the day. I get everything from Aldi so it's pretty cheap too.

Baby carrots, honeycrisp apple, light string cheese, yogurt, and a sandwich containing lunch meat and cheese and mayo. Recently, I started fridge pickling jalapeños for my sandwiches too, and that was the right call. I have this pretty much every day. I was broke af when I was younger, so eating the same thing every day vs maybe not getting to eat... I learned to really appreciate getting consistent meals even if it's not something different very often. It's not for everybody and I understand if this doesn't sound remotely appealing to you lol.
