Ladies Who Lunch Giveaway: Mario Batali or Elle Lunch Bag

by Tara Kuczykowski on December 3, 2008 · 946 comments

Elle Christy Lunch Bag 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.

Cosmoda sent me this adorable Elle Christy Lunch Bag, and it almost makes me wish I had an office job again just to be able to carry my lunch back and forth in it! I was surprised at how nice the quality is, and you'd totally never even guess it's a lunch bag until you unzip it and see the insulated material inside. Both the interior and exterior wipe clean easily, and did I mention just how gosh darn cute it is?!?

Cosmoda wants to help you save money by packing your lunch and still look chic while doing it, so they've given me three adorable lunch bags to give away to three lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers!

8 BusyMom December 4, 2008 at 2:29 am: Hummm....It didn't take my comment earlier? Wonder what's up there.

I generally pack leftovers from dinner, so I have a well rounded lunch. If I don't have leftovers, generally it is a sandwich, fruit and yogurt. I drink water with my lunch.

40 Lisa December 4, 2008 at 3:13 am: This is exactly what we need...or should I say my daughter needs. She's in 7th grade and takes her lunch to school every day because she's trying to eat healthy. She's been brown bagging it, but I've been wanted to get her a cute lunch bag. And then you offered this! Bingo! Today in her lunch she had a turkey sandwich, yo-plus yogurt and a few multigrain wheat thins with a bottle of water.
