Do you, or have you in the past made sandwiches for someone to take to work or school?

It has been so long since I had small children that I cannot remember however in "those days" I'm sure I made them every morning for 3 children.

I think I also made them for my husband of the time.

I guess for 4 people, I would have had to get up a bit earlier to do this but cannot remember what we wrapped them in as there was no glad wrap in those days!

We wrapped them in greaseproof paper, or waxed paper.

I make my packed lunch everyday and I make a packed lunch for my husband everyday

At the height of my No Food diet when I was working, I used to make a packed lunch for myself every day as there was nothing I could buy in the office cafeteria or local food shops that I could eat. Never made sandwiches though, as bread was definitely banned! Rice salad was a good lunch. I didn't get up early as I made it the night before.

Yes but luckily he doesn't like anything but butter on his sandwiches, I do find myself getting up slightly earlier as if its not cut into perfect triangles he will not eat it.

My husband was a bit like that, but I will not have it, lol.

Were the triangular sandwiches for your son? I can't image a man asking for 4 or 8 little triangular sandwiches!

Not my son. My boyfriend's youngest brother who at the time was only 5.

I used to make my own lunches to to take to my final years of school,and then to take to work!
In the nearer past,I would make lunch for my son to take to school. I hate wasting money on take aways when I can make something I prefer to eat myself!

I did
I have
I still do.
I just make them 30 mins before he leaves to go to work (my son).

Yes I used to make them for my son when he was at school....it ws always a challenge to vary the fillings to ones he liked and not just the obligatory polony and tom sauce!

I pack lunch everyday for my husband. I usually make the preparations the night before so I dont have to get up early to do it.

by Gia

Yes, I make them for the kids if we are going out for the day, or my son when he goes to kindy.

by Jennifer Muirhead

Oh, and no I don't really have to get up earlier to do it.

I used to do this for my dad and sisters until I hit my senior years at high school. I absolutely dreaded it. I made them the night before as dad would go off to work before sunrise. I now make a packed lunch for my husband, or rather I cook and often he'll pack it himself.

Don't make sandwiches to take to work any more as I've recently retired. However I always make sandwiches when my grandchildren compete at little athletic events and National and State titles with plenty of their favourite fillings eve though my daughter makes them as well. Mine are always eaten. Even my daughter calls me "the sandwich queen". Fresh bread is partially the secret and tasty fillings.

Yes I make them for my daughter sometimes although we fight over the type of bread I use.
Sometimes easier to have alternative lunch items.

All done night before, wrapped, packed & put in fridge, ready for children to grab & go next morning.

For such a PIA job, wouldn't waste valuable 'sleep-in' time of a morning, before going to work!

by donjo

i used to for my kids and still make them for a snack

YES, and for long train trips. Strass with Tomato Sauce is my favourite (for travelliing), and tomatoes have cancer inhibiting properties, too.

by delbr

Sorry, what's Strass, Delbr? Is it a cheese or a meat? My dad loved tomato sauce on cheese!

I make sandwiches and rolls all the time when I'm at work, so I think I'm an old hand at this, and they do sell!

by Diana Nairn

Yes. Made them for my three girls all through the years of their schooling. Not for my husband as her was in the military and could get his meals from the mess.
