I usually roll with two turkey and cheese sandwiches on wheat bread with some sun chips on the side and some water in my bottle. I used to do leftovers but I'm picky about having the same thing for lunch and dinner. No disrespect for the less fortunate in the world.

Sure.....all ears.

just pack a main course, and like 2 or 3 snacks and a bottle of water or whatever you drink

i used to spend like $10 on lunch and like 5-6 bucks for snacks/drinks

lets say 12 bucks a day. 12 X 5 = $60 a week.

I bought wheat thins (2 boxes for $4) 8 wheat buns ($3) pound of cheese ($5) honey turkey ($6) apple sauces ($2) and a case of water ($3)

that is $23 per week...and i have enough apple sauce and wheat thins as snacks at night or for the next week.

i used to cop the regular square bread, meat and cheese, and mayo...and just wasnt satisfied....i upgraded to buns, copped lettuce, tomatoes, grey poupon and now i never get tired of my lunches

just rotate snacks and youll be living good and saving money

I also hate the fact that if I bring leftovers the job never has soap to clean off the dish right after. I'm not about that leave stains in the dish til I get home life.

Yeah, I'm about to make that full conversion to packing my lunch next week.

I've been doing like twice a week for a while, but now all these fast food places around me have been tasting pretty nasty lately, plus I need to improve my diet anyway,
.
The key with me is not get burnt out, cause I'll be going hard with my turkey sandwiches and snacks until one of my co-workers comes in with some Zaxby's or Genghis Grill. I'll probably still go out once week to eat but I'm bout to stock up on them little fruit juices, fruit, and chips...

just "treat yourself" to lunch once a week and you wont go crazy...just say "i can eat out on wednesdays" and change up the spot once a week.

i will prolly eat out when i work nightshifts so i dont go crazy tryna follow a strict diet

what kind of turkey? do you add cheese?

and how often do you change up your snacks?

Deli turkey from the grocery store. Can never go back to the pre packaged shyt

Deli cheese too . I switch it up sometimes and get American, Swiss, cheddar, or provolone

I usually have some kind of pretzels but i mix in cheez its or goldfish too

Great thread. You are right about changing your bread too. Lunch is important and my favorite meal of the day.
