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!

I love the bags, I would of never know about them. It would be a great gift to me, since my husband and I are not giving gifts for each other this year. Also my birthday is next week, what a bonus this would be.

Great giveaway! We take our lunch everyday to work, so one of these lunch bags would be really great! Much better than recycling grocery sacks:) Lunch typically includes a turkey sandwich, baby carrots, a piece of fresh fruit, and pretzels! I also try to pack a couple snacks like nuts or yogurt to ward off the pesky hunger cravings!

I love taking my lunch to work now, to save money, I love making chicken wrap, leftover whole chicken from the night before, with string cheese and cut up fruit or mini muffins. It would be cute to take in these wonderful bags!!

My well rounded lunch usually consists of very low sodium canned tuna (chunk light in water) on top of romaine lettuce. Instead of dressing, I usually top it with lowfat or fat free cottage cheese and fat free mozzerella cheese. Then I also throw in an apple or banana, and usually a mini candy bar for my sweet tooth. Yes, it takes time to pack it all, but it’s yummy and healthy!

Oh! Be still my beating heart! I love, love, love all those bags…although I think I’m gonna pick the stripey one (I’d not turn up my nose at any of them, they rock!)
My favorite lunch is grilled chicken salad on baby spinach. Or I might make one of those fruity chicken salads to put in it…the yummy kind with grapes and walnuts, not the yucky mayo-y chicken salad.
Anyway, I’m a schoolteacher and bringing a lunch is a must…it’s that or eating sloppy joes or meatloaf from the …cafeteria!
What a cool giveaway!

What would I pack in my CUTE lunch bag??? (and I do love those!!!!)…I’d look to see what yummy leftovers might be in the fridge … if none, then a great salad or sandwich would be just right.

Everyday I pack a turkey sandwich, a fruit of some kind, and a diet sprite! I need my cute bag because I have to travel for work and I have to always eat on the run!
