It made me

easy peasy!

How I did it: I kept a supply of soups, granola bars, and oatmeal at work. As long as I kept my supply stocked I was good to go. It's hard to justify going out to lunch when lunch is sitting there.  Read how I did it… 10 months ago

It made me

Excited!

How I did it: Let's face it: As a working adult, sometimes you feel like you don't have the time to pack a lunch to bring to work.  So, what made me start?  My biggest incentive is this:
My husband wants to take a trip to Europe!
"Great.  What part of my discretionary income am I going to have to make adjustments to?," I thought.
Bringing lunch to work just seems like the easiest, most practical thing I could do to save money. 
It wasn't the easiest thing to get used to at first, but now that I've been doing it for almost 2 months, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner!
Steps: 
1. Plan your week.  This is the hardest part.  Make sure you buy enough groceries to cover your week's worth of meals.  If there are two of you in your household (like mine), you will essentially have to double your meals (1 for lunch, one for dinner per person). 
2. Buy storage units to store your lunch in.  Glass containers with lids are ones I love.
3. Set time to pack your lunch or do it during a commercial break.  If you're forgetful, set a timer to remind yourself to do this or else you will be lunchless tomorrow!  No excuses.
4. Put it in a bag.
5. Do I really need to go through the rest of the steps?!  Read how I did it… 16 months ago
