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 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…

I’ve been trying out new soup recipes, so I take some soup, a sandwich, and either fruit or sun chips. And my Diet Coke, of course! =)
