SUMMER salads and cold sandwiches no longer cut the packed lunch mustard – so it’s time to turn the heat up.
Thanks to insulated pots and stay-warm mugs, you can keep just about anything hot enough until lunchtime.

And, best of all, you can make cheap, delicious dishes and eat better for less.
POT LUCK: Keep food toasty in a food flask.
For good looks, you can’t beat Sho’s brightly coloured version that keeps food warm for up to ten hours from shoreusable.com, down from £34.99 to £14.99.
It will cheer you up at lunchtime and you can even get your name engraved to stop it going missing.
For a familiar brand, the Thermos Stainless King Food Flask is down from £19.99 to £11.99 at The Range.
SOUPER SAVINGS: For soup on the go, the Nitro Hammered Effect Soup Flask from The Range will keep your broth or chowder warm for up to eight hours.
Down from £6.99 to £4.89, it claims to be leakproof, making it perfect for an autumnal picnic.
Just add a tin of your favourite soup for a cheap and warming meal.

SPICE UP YOUR LIFE: With your food flask, leftovers can have a new lease of life, stretching to an extra meal without stretching your finances.
If you’re making a pasta dish or curry for dinner, cook up a little extra to take for lunch the next day. Just heat thoroughly before putting in your insulated pot in the morning.
A lentil daal will warm you up. The Spice Tailor Tarka Daal makes two meals and is down from £3.15 to £2 at Sainsbury’s.
SIP WHEN YOU’RE WINNING: Having a hot cup of tea or coffee can really help keep you warm if you’re out.
But supporting your kids’ sports match with a steaming cup of coffee in hand can get expensive if you buy it from a shop.
Take your own instead in a Thermos Thermocafe blue tumbler from Tesco, £7.50, or £6 for Clubcard holders.
