| I got these via email newsletter from simplesavings.com.au. They'd been contributed by a reader & would be great for anyone needing to take lunches to work as they can be prepared in advance and frozen:
GOURMET FREEZER SANDWICHES 
If you want to save money by making your own sandwiches for lunch in advance, here are some gourmet recipes you can make in bulk and freeze. My girlfriend shared these with me and I guarantee you will look forward to your lunch every day with this variety! Each recipe makes six sandwiches using twelve slices of bread.

3/4 cup (180ml) packaged light cream cheese
1 1/4 cups (250g) finely chopped cooked chicken
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 cup (125ml) corn relish
1 cup (120g) grated smoked or tasty cheddar cheese

4 green shallots, chopped
50g button mushrooms, sliced
1 small (150g) green pepper, chopped
180g sliced ham, chopped

(You can do this without the mushrooms if you like)
