saving lunch money

I don’t bring lunch from home.  I always order food.  Mainly the reason is that I cannot cook and I don’t wake up early enough to be able to prepare lunch.  My dad is lucky, my mom prepares his lunch and even breakfast.  They’re mostly salads and sandwiches though.  At times, my dad complains that they’re all the same.  I guess my mom needs to get ahold of new salad and sandwich recipes.

I’ve come to realize that spending at least $10 for lunch at work can be too much compared to a couple of dollars I’ll be spending when I prepare my lunch at home.  So I’ve listed a few things that I may be capable of preparing:

  • Salads
  • Sandwiches
  • Microwaveable meals – no preparation needed :D

Any other suggestions?

divide leftovers from dinner into little microwave-able containers!

I love your blog – discovered it through some of your great DIY wedding ideas. I try to bring lunch every day and it’s one of the best habits I’ve gotten into – healthier and much less expensive. I think that even if you’re not too excited about cooking, you can find things that are easy to assemble, like frozen burgers/veggie burgers on English muffins. I’m also a big fan of little non-lettuce salads, like grated carrot or bulgur, grape & feta – they feel like such a fancy lunch food! I made a blog post with lunch tips a while back –
