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.

I would use the bag to pack my hubby’s brown bag goodies. I am home for lunch most days, but he loves to take dinner leftovers to the office the next day.
Thanks for a chance to win.

As a teacher who has to monitor my class during lunch, I had to learn to pack things that I could carry around with me as I watched my class. Apples, yogurt, granola bars, and a sandwhich cut in half were some of things I could handle. There wasn’t time to nuke anything with only 25 minutes for lunch either.

I have an nine month old who salivates when I eat lunch. I try to eat after he goes down for his afternoon nap. By then I am starving. I try to eat whole grain pasta, fruit, and cheese to feed that hunger. If we need to be out, I pack the fruit and a meat and cheese sandwhich on while grain bread.
I though when I stayed home I won’t need a lunch box, but I still carry one.

I often pack sliced apples and carrots, low fat cheese sticks, homemade bread and milk (from our goats)..My kids are not big sandwich eaters, so this way they get fruit,veg, protein and carb..Plus a homemade cookie or muffin….

I always bring my lunch to work. Some times I bring frozen dinners but the best lunches are leftovers from the night before. Especially if it’s chili!

I don’t take a lunch anywhere being a stay-at-home mom. But my girls volunteer Wednesday afternoons at our church and take their supper with them as they are their until church time. They like to take microwave mac and cheese or any leftovers from a meal from the previous week that they liked.

Cute bags!
When I pack my lunch for work, my favorite meal is a large salad with lots of toppings… tomatoes, boiled eggs, peas, cheese, bacon bits, sunflower seeds… sounds healthy, right?!?!
