I pack myself a lunch for work everyday, to save money, and to eat a little healthier.
We
do have a cafeteria in my work building, but it would cost me about
$8/day to eat there. Alternatively, going out somewhere would cost about
$10/day. (That's about $40/week in food expense)
My packed lunches cost from $2 - $5, usually closer to the $2 side. This means that I save $30/week by packing a lunch.
When I pack my lunch, I follow this format:
1. A main dish
sometimes this is a leftover, sometimes specifically made for lunch, it just depends
2. A diet soda
I like diet soda better than regular, and I like the caffeine in the middle of the day
3. A side
This can range from a piece of fruit like an apple or banana, yogurt, pudding, pretzels, whatever I have in my pantry!
I've found that having these three things will keep me full and I typically enjoy the lunch I pack.
