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

My favorite thing to take for lunch is leftover three cheese whole wheat tortellini in pesto sauce–I eat it cold right out of the Tupperware! So tasty… I usually also throw in a cup of yogurt and some cheese cubes, plus a small piece of chocolate for dessert.

I pack my lunch almost every day of the week in our effort to stick to a lean budget so that I can become a SAHM within a year! Yayayayyay! A typical packed lunch for me includes very thinly sliced cucumbers and baby carrots with LF Asian Sesame Dressing as a snack and either a veggie soup or a loaded turkey sandwich and chips for lunch. Also, since I’m such a HUGE snacker at work (one needs only to see my overflowing trash can to know this), I usually bring some microwave popcorn and a diet soda. :) I LOVE the lunch bag, by the way! Hope I win!

Though I’m a SAHM, we go on a lot of picnics in the spring/summer, and even Mom needs a packed lunch sometimes!
I would pack an egg salad sandwich, potato chips, grapes, a bottled water & maybe some cookies to share w/ the kids! ;)

These are very nice…not as cool as my current, rocket ship lunchbox, but in much better condition.
I’d probably pack my standard lunch. Turkey sandwich on multigrain bread, cheese stick and an apple. And that’s in addition to morning snack, which is usually a piece of fruit and afternoon snack of carrot sticks and almonds.

I usually pack a ham & cheese sandwich, a banana and maybe some yogurt. BORING! At least I could put it in a fun bag, right?

I’m at SAHM, but we still pack lunch when we go out sometimes. I would pack a vegetable cheese sandwich, a side salad with pomegranate vinaigrette, yogurt, and an orange.
