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

Love these bags! How cool?!
For lunch I like to do a variety of things, one of the easiest: Turkey on whole wheat with spicy mustard. Side of carrot sticks and string cheese. Also a bottle of water. I also bring snacks to work: different fruit each week.
Thanks!

My favorite easy lunch is a salad I can prepare in the morning between sending my son to school and doing some easy chores. I grew up in Europe, so usually my salad dressing is olive oil and lots of crumbled cheese – any type. Good aeasy and prety tasty.
I would love to have one of those pretty lunch bags. I can even color coordinate some of my clothes lol
Thanks Polina

They are all cute. A frugal type lunch would be a wrap or sandwich on whole grain bread woth Boetje’s mustard, some tomato and pickles. Smoked turkey probably. Fresh fruit (whatever is in season) and cherry tomatoes. Or some Flat Earth chips.
I don’t have to pack lunches for myself anymore, and don’t think my husband would like it. However, my dd started college this fall, as a dietetics major, so this would be great for her!

I like to pack leftovers from diner the night before. My favorite would be pot roast with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. With a couple of bottles of water with my crystal light energy mix.

I love the messenger style lunch bag! I would totally pack some delicious leftovers – my basically free lunch would travel in style!!! One of my favorite leftover meals: homemade chili mixed with some rice, then rolled in a tortilla with LOTS of cheddar cheese into a big tasty burrito! Mmmmmm…
