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

I love the Mario Batali messenger bag! So cute! They all are! My favorite rounded lunch is a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, an apple or banana, a string cheese and maybe some crackers or a granola bar.
I would love to win!
Kimi
I’m a loyal reader and have told all my friends and family all that I’ve learned from your awesome blog! Thanks for all you do! (I hope I win….fingers crossed!) We’ve been brown-bagging it for a while now, and this would definitely be a little more stylish than our grocery bags and brown paper bags…and much more eco-friendly!
Diane
I would love a new lunch bag. I normally take a sandwhich and apple. Sometimes leftovers from the night before.
Elaine

I’d sautee mushrooms with diced garlic, and pour them over a wedge of brie, then hunk of crusty bread to eat the mushrooms and brie. And a rollup sandwich with pimento cheese and cucumber. A handful of pecans, if we get any after Ike, and a green apple. I think Elle Brittany Lunch Bag would be great, but they’re all lovely, thanks 8^)
