We're in a heatwave and both of us are still lowish on spoons. Randomly we were outside a Coles on the weekend and needed bananas for brekkie, and decided to buy low spoon food for the week (not cheap but cheaper than eating out - very tempting when it's 30C in the house when we get home from work ETA dinner probably works out at $3 or $4 pp per meal ish). AND... I wrote up a meal plan for the week. Go me!!
Mon: Coles version of a kale-slaw, plus a couple of slices of Australian-style feta cheese
Tues - Red capsicum veggie sticks (maybe carrot too, depending on how tired DH is), plus labneh* and olive oil, a couple of slices of feta cheese, a spoonful of rinsed drained sauerkraut (bought a big jar of this a month ago, need to use it up)
Wed - cheap smoked salmon pieces, veggie sticks, labneh with olive oil
Thu - Red capsicum veggie sticks (maybe carrot too, depending on how tired DH is), plus labneh* and olive oil, finish off the feta cheese
Fri - avocado (if it's ripe) mashed with 95g tin tuna in oil, with finely diced red onion, parsley and chives from the garden, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes from the garden. Carrot sticks to dip into the avocado tuna mix.
Back up plan is leftover Mexican-ish-style bean stew from the freezer with instant rice and plain yoghurt.
Also bought a few instant meals from Aldi and Coles for us to take to work. Cheaper than buying lunch from local cafes. (variations on the theme of canelloni, lasagne or lamb roast)

Labneh - impulse buy at an independent shop last week, we serve with olive oil and use it as a dip for veggie sticks. Or you can spread it on bread. (it's savoury, not sweet)
