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

Well I work 12 hour night shift so sometimes I dont want a full meal and I will pack a container of milk and one of cereal and pack some fruit. But sometimes I will pack soup, like campbells select harvest, and I can eat that for 2 days with fruit, cheese stick, yogurt. I always pack!

I pack my lunch every day, but lately I’ve noticed my lunchbox isn’t looking too good! :) These are SO cute! I’d probably just pack leftovers from dinner the night before in mine. That’s usually what I wind up taking. :)

I would pack a sandwich, yogurt, soda, fruit, and carrots. I try to bring my lunch often, but it usually ends up being in a grocery sack.

I pack lunch for my boy. A well rounded lunch would be a silicon cupcake cup of grapes (or some other fruit), another cup of cut carrots or broccoli, a peanut butter/jelly sandwich cut into shape with miniature cookie cutters and possibly a cookie. He hates using utensils so everything has to be finger food.
I pack whatever is left over and about to expire. Not so well rounded, I admit.
