Whenever I cook food, I cook bigger batches so we can make lunch boxes.
Also, I most often eat a meal replacement shake for lunch the past 2-3 years.
This means the 3-4 lunch boxes produced per dinner is all available to my partner, most often 1 gets stored in the freezer for extra speedy dinners in the future.
This means I really only have to cook proper dinner something like twice a week, and can make quicker smaller dinners wich could make leftovers - but doesn't have to - the rest of the days.
This has for us meant not only savings in money, but also a lot of time.
What do you do to make sure that you don’t get tired of eating similar things during the week?

Eating the same lunch 2-3 days in a row is not boring to my partner as long as we don't cook the same big batch recipe two-three times a month, and I switch between two different tastes on my meal replacement.
Honestly, lunch for me could be oatmeal porridge for all eternity. It's lunch, doesn't have to be a gourmet dinner. And on those days where you really don't feel like that lunch box, then you could take one from the freezer or just buy something.
