Monday, Lunch

One way we save lots-o-money is by bringing our lunch to work every day. In NYC, even a cheap lunch is around $10. We’ve figured out that our lunches usually cost around $3, so we save around $35 EACH a week.

Most of the time, we pack up our lunch the night before so it is all ready to go in the AM. I usually pack a few small portions of different foods, so we can eat throughout the day. We each have lunch boxes too, which is cute.

Today we had chicken/potato leftovers, a simple tomato/bean salad, stawberries/blueberries and yogurt, and an apple. The bigger containers are Matthew’s. Mine are the smaller ones. I’m pretty picky about Tupperware, and I happen to LOVE these containers.

Tomato/bean salad

halved grape tomatoes
canned (rinsed) cannellini beans
chopped parsley
chopped scallion
feta cheese
red wine vinegar/olive oil/salt/pepper

Oh yeah, breakfast was toast with cream cheese.
