Take a Bite Out of Lunch Costs

If you're as forgetful as I am, you more often than not might find yourself in the situation where you're purchasing your lunch basically everyday that you're working. But you might not know that by purchasing your lunch 4 or 5 times a week, you're throwing away money that could easily be saved!
Say for example on average you're spending about $8 to $10 on lunch everyday five days a week. That averages to approximately $40 to $50 dollars a week or $160 to $200 dollars a month, you could be spending between $1920 - $2400 a year! That much money could pay for: six pairs of shoes, five complete outfits, one handbag, and about $100 to $200 dollars worth of make up. Or round-trip airfare, hotel and tour expenses on a trip to pretty much anywhere in Europe. Really puts things into perspective huh?
But bringing your lunch to work in no way means you have to brown bag it and stock up on zip-lock bags galore. You can do it in style and while your saving money and looking chic you can also do your part to save the environment.

Box Appetit from black + blum

I purchased this amazing lunch container from the store I work for (however it is also available online) and not only was it relatively inexpensive (around $20) But it comes with handy compartments, a water tight seal, and a fork to boot!

Do yourself a favour and start bringing your lunch to work or school or wherever! You're doing a world of good not only to your wallet but also the environment, but more importantly you'll start noticing the difference in your finances instantly. And having a little extra cash kicking around never hurt anyone.
