My work lunches get boring, but I don’t mind. It’s cheaper than eating out. :)

Brownbaggin’ it is where it’s at. You save a boatload of cash instead of some food court and you tend to eat healthier. I tend to dislike leftovers for 2 consecutive dinners/suppers, but leftovers are perfect for the following day’s lunch!

Nice psot.

I am happy that everyone has commented in eating leftovers! Personally, I do this as well which is good discipline to make dinner every night (a real dinner, not just a grilled cheese sandwich!) It actually is easier for me to just portion out some of dinner into a container for lunch, than it is to make a separate sandwich.

However, there are quite a few people who refuse to eat leftovers! So I wanted to provide other options that are just as easy.

I try to always make sure that there are leftovers from the night before, and I usually pair it with rice. We’re big rice eaters in my house, and I’ve found that curry burgers from the night before, when paired with some veggies and rice, are AWESOME for lunch the next day. Stir fry is just as easy and delicious. I’m a student, and an art student at that, so I have very little time between classes to go make a fast food run every day.

This sounds funny but I snoop through kids lunch at my work. I’m like ooo, pudding cups sound yummy this week. Or, mm, granola bars, haven’t had those in forever. I also find that even though frozen dinners are high in sodium, it’s still way cheaper and healthier then running to McDonalds.

I’m trying to build up a stash of easy (although not very healthy) things like noodles and canned/packet food. Which seemed like a good idea until I arrived at work this morning and found my food missing from my desk. GRRR. I don’t know who would’ve taken my stuff between Friday evening and Saturday morning, unless the cleaners thought it was rubbish?

My husband usually packs leftovers from the night before. When I clean up from supper I automatically put a lunch-size portion in a separate container. As a back up – he keeps some of those lean cuisine frozen panini sandwiches in the freezer.

Most of the times I just pack left-overs which are always different, but I also change things up now and then. I might have cold cuts in the fridge to make a sandwich or I take things like (home-made) tamales from the freezer.
