Fuel prices are high on our trips to work.  The cost of food seems to be getting higher, and even eating out is burning a hole in our pockets at well.  When we have been working hard at work all day, during lunch, it can be hard not to just drive to the nearest fast food join and grab a quick burger.  Families across America are cutting back, and we have to decide in what areas we can cut back. One area to save money in is how we eat lunch at our places of employment…

It’s actually healthier to pack your lunch, than to rack up calories eating out at a restaurant.  By buying goods in larger bulk at stores like SAMS, you can save per day on what you spend on eating.  Purchase bread and lunch meat for making sandwiches, carrots for healthy snacks,  and bring bottled water to drink on.  There are also healthy frozen food entrees you can eat for lunch if your place of employment has a microwave available too.

Brown bagging it also lets you mix up your lunch options.  You don’t have to eat at the same place every day.  Taking your lunch is also safer since you prepared your meal yourself.  If a restuarant is busy and understaffed-the food isn’t always at it’s best…

Purchase a small little lunchbox or cooler along with an ice pack, and your lunch will stay cool until you eat it. If you are lucky that your employer provides a refrigerator, then you can store lunch items there as well.  If you’d rather not eat at your desk or area, then drive to a nearby park, or somewhere with different scenery. Get out and enjoy the great outdoors if the weather is nice.  Taking your lunch and eating outside gives you a breath of fresh air from being closed up all day……

If you are looking to save money for lunch-then how about brown bagging it? …It can save you $ and even be healthier for you!
