Take your lunch to work! Not only is it cheaper, it's generally more healthy for you. If morning time is a rush, then prepare the night before and just grab it on the way out.
10 alternatives to a sandwich and chips...
1. Tortilla wraps with grilled chicken/steak from the night before (toss in some bell peppers and avocado)
2. Greek style yogurt with honey, peanut butter, and mashed banana.
3. Homemade tomato soup with cheese and crackers
4. Tomato, mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinegar salad
5. Homemade sushi rolls
6. Veggie burger with sweet potato chips
7. Quiche with shredded potatoes, veggies, and cheese
8. Pasta salad (I like orzo and grilled veggies with a pesto vinaigrette)
9. Hard boiled egg, veggie sticks, and a piece of fruit
10. Fruit with cottage cheese and english muffin with peanut butter
Most lunches could be made for $3 or less. If you go to a fast food joint and select a combo meal, you're looking at about $5-$6 a day. That's $25-$30 a week, $100 - $120 a month, and $1200 - $1440 a year! A $2 - $3 savings a day for a year adds up to $480 - $720!! That's a decent chunk of change! If you go out to eat every day for lunch, try to cut back to 2 days of eating out. Your budget will thank you!
What are your favorite lunches for work?
