Who’s ready to brown bag it this week? This week is about packing your lunch instead of going out to eat. This will not only save you money, but you will probably eat a little healthier too!
Whether you don’t have the time to prepare it, don’t like leftovers, or just get bored with what you make, it’s time to rethink lunch. Prepare your lunch before you go to bed if you won’t have time in the morning. Make extras each night and put leftovers in a container that you can grab & go. Prep for the week on Sunday making salad jars (that last all week!) or your favorite recipe that you can divvy up into lunch containers. This will seriously save you $50+ a week. Go through your account and track how much you spent last week going out to eat. It will shock you!
Here’s your challenge this week:
Easy: Find a recipe or use your favorite recipe and make it for lunch.
Medium: Bring your lunch everyday for one week. Then reflect on why you don’t do it more often or what could you do next week to make it even better.
Hard: Use the 80/20 rule for life. 80% of the time bring your lunch & 20% go out to eat. For example, bring you lunch Mon- Thurs and then reward yourself on Friday.
