Lunches…. boy can they be expensive!
After months of buying our lunches, we decided we would start packing our lunch. We made a full hearted attempt to bring our lunch to work with us every day. That lasted a good week (maybe a little longer) and then we got very bored with what we were bringing every day. That was our First Attempt…..
Now months later after weeks of eating out, we have come to realize again just how much money we spend a day on eating our lunches out! It is crazy!!! It is at least $10.00 a day, if not $40.00. Depends on where we go… Burger King or Sushi? Depends on if we partake in a cocktail as well (yes we do that upon occasion..sssshhhh).
Yesterday we came to the conclusion that we really really really need to start packing our lunches and put the money that we save each week towards something more! Whether that be a nice dinner out on a weekend, or sushi once a month, or even towards vacation. That in our eyes would be so much more enjoyable!
So last night we went shopping and came up with a few things we can bring for lunch. This is our other big problem, neither of us like having sandwiches everyday, we like variety, which is probably the reason we fail at bringing our lunch. So… if you have any ideas for lunch, please help us out!
We have the following on our list of lunches:
Salads
Yogurt & Fruit
Soup
Sandwiches (Cold Cuts)
Microwaveable pasta & rice dishes
I really hope that we can succeed with our Second Attempt, because I feel if we need a Third we are just pretty hopeless when it comes to packing a lunch!
