bring my lunch to work.

From sheer necessity, I started bringing my lunch to work. It really saves a lot of money, and it’s not that big a deal. Now I just need to start making big dinners so I can take leftovers the next day.

I hardly ever eat out for lunch anymore. I’m getting a little sick of pb&j though

Having a go at going nocturnal to avoid the stupid aircon at work. This actually makes it easier to have food at work – I wake up late, cook a big lunch, then take leftovers to work.

Thursday, Friday, Monday – and got to work by bike on each of those days! progress.

But strangely, I have found myself buying breakfast foods and snacks so I’m not saving much money at all. Must continue to refine my food routines.

I know this is worth doing, and I totally want to, but I just can’t seem to make it a habit! I am going to try to plan out my lunches for next week today, and actually write them down and put the list by my work stuff and hopefully I will remember.

I don’t even LIKE to go out for lunch anymore…most of my favorite places to eat lunch near my office have closed, so I end up going to the same couple places ALL THE TIME until I am bored sick.

Aaaargh!

I could use the extra money, too…to help with the student loan goal…hey, that’s an idea…I should actually link these two goals in my head and put the money I save on lunch into the student loans, making this feel even more important to do!

If I get the house I’ve applied for, rent goes from $150pw to $210pw – ouch. But it has a much better kitchen – so no excuse. Also, lunch options on campus are pretty limited. There’s only so many times you can eat the same greasy lasagne and pay $7 for it.

Tonight I’m going to make some Squash Vindaloo Stew, so I don’t have to eat the same thing every day, I can alternate. Must stop at the liquor store on the way home to pick up some red wine for the recipe. Yum, it’s going to be good!

i usually spend 10 on lunch a day now that i am bringing it to work thats 50 bucks a week on just luch saved not to mention the 5 dollar coffee or 10 dollar coffee and (insert fattening yummy carb here)i am saving about 300 dollars a month and not really missing anything. =)

Over the past few weeks I have gone into a strong habit of bringing my lunch to work most days. Consequently, I will mark this goal off as completed (27/03/08)
