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!
Mario Batali Messenger Lunch Bag Elle Brittany Lunch Bag Mario Batali Satchel Lunch Bag

What a fabulous opportunity! Thank you!
I’ve brought lunch to work for the last year, but have really started making my own lunch in the last three months (prior to that I was surviving on frozen entrees….WAY too expensive!). So my new favorite lunch to pack would be along these lines: cauliflower soup (thank you CrockpotLady!), a low calorie bagel, a handful of almonds, some steamed carrots and a piece of fruit. Oh, yeah, and two mini cream puffs, because what’s a meal without dessert???

I typically eat a turkey sandwich, yogurt and apple. Pretty standard, but perhaps a cute lunch pail would inspire me to make more creative lunches for myself.
Thanks!

I would probably pack a turkey sandwich, chips and fruit. Not very exciting, but I love it!

We are big brown baggers at our house although I tend to be a bit boring. The usual is a pb&j, two pieces of fruit and a homemade granola bar for dessert.

Thank you for the chance to win a wonderful prize!
My favorite lunch is a Boar’s Head Lebanon bologna and swiss cheese sandwich with Miracle Whip salad dressing on wheat bread, potato chips, yogurt, Satsuma tangelo and Diet Coke – and I think it would be even more yummy in a new lunch tote!

I love these bags. I pack my lunch almost every day and have a soft igloo cooler – completey not stylish! My favorite lunch to pack is a chicken ceasar wrap with yoplait yogurt. Every so often, I’ll throw in some fresh veggies such as celery sticks with peanut butter.

My favorite lunch to pack is a turkey wrap, and I love it when I have a cucumber to put on it, mmmm! Then an apple, and pretzels make it complete. Thanks for the chance for one of those cute lunch bags!
