In my post the other day on seven easy ways to cut $1 or more out of your daily budget, I mentioned that packing your lunch on a daily basis is an excellent way to make huge impact on your budget. Brown-bagging it can get old and boring quickly though . . . until now.

pancakes!!! yes, i did say pancakes for lunch and not for breakfast and a close second is a wrap with bacon, lettuce , tomato and cheese.
my lunch would look so dressed up in one of them lunch bags!
thanks for sharing!
I usually bring leftovers or a salad to work. Those totes are so trendy! I'd probably care my lunch more often with something so fashionable to carry it in. I just stumbled accross your site...I'll be back more with hot giveaways like this :)

I would use leftovers to take to work, or use it on a car day trip!

I blogged here: http://treasuredgiveaways.blogspot.com/2008/12/mario-batali-lunch-bag-giveaway.html Hope to win one of these bags! Would LOVE to show it off at work!!
I would make sure to cook extras for dinner just so that I'd have leftovers to take in this great bag.
I would pack- almonds, cottage cheese, lettuce salad, a bottle of water and Diet Dr. Pepper. It's my new healthy lunch for the week. I plan a lunch for the week and buy all the items each weekend, and then I bring a lunch 4 out of 5 days. The other day is a restaurant day to treat myself!
I would pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (cause nothing travels as well as pbj) and some type of gut warming soup/stew/chili.

Buying lunch on a daily basis with today’s financial and economic crisis is not an option for me. I pack my oatmeal for my morning meals, snacks suck as cheese, yogurts or fruits and for lunch everyday is something different. Typically left over food from the previous nights dinner, if not a ham and cheeses sandwich or turkey sandwich. When I pack a light lunch I have to pack a few snack’s to keep my appetite full. This lunch bag will be a great gift for me because I currently use my sons Sponge bob lunch bags.
To a Great Lunch!

Love the satchel bag. My lunch choice would be spinach salad with walnuts, cranberries and maybe grilled chicken and paul newman's light raspberry and walnut dressing and a vanilla yogurt.
I would pack a variety of things, I have to snack all the time or my blood sugar bottoms out. Yay hypoglycemia! Nothing like acting drunk at your child's school! We practice the "Waste Free Lunch" program, so this would help me do that in style!

I love the Mario Batali messenger bag! So cute! They all are! My favorite rounded lunch is a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, an apple or banana, a string cheese and maybe some crackers or a granola bar.
I would love to win!
I'm a loyal reader and have told all my friends and family all that I've learned from your awesome blog! Thanks for all you do! (I hope I win....fingers crossed!) We've been brown-bagging it for a while now, and this would definitely be a little more stylish than our grocery bags and brown paper bags...and much more eco-friendly!
I would love a new lunch bag. I normally take a sandwhich and apple. Sometimes leftovers from the night before.
I never win at these things but these bags are so cute! I couldn't resist. The Mario Messenger or the Elle would be wonderful and completely my style.
Thank you for offering them.

Sarah´s last blog post..Trying to "Take Back" my Week!
I'd sautee mushrooms with diced garlic, and pour them over a wedge of brie, then hunk of crusty bread to eat the mushrooms and brie. And a rollup sandwich with pimento cheese and cucumber. A handful of pecans, if we get any after Ike, and a green apple. I think Elle Brittany Lunch Bag would be great, but they're all lovely, thanks 8^)

Hi there - my favorite lunch to pack is a chicken salad sandwich on toast (mix chicken with a small squirt of mayo and a few spoonfuls of ranch dressing; season with a seasoning blend like Mrs. Dash), apple slices, yogurt, and a juice. =)
