    Bag That Lunch

    By admin | July 30, 2008

    I have had an epiphany that packing your lunch is much much cheaper than going out to eat.  I know, brilliant isn’t it…

    It used to be commonplace for me to go out to eat (which I still love to do and helps build relationships) however if I were to be honest, I was eating out the majority of the time and that is a little in excess.

    Recently I have found myself very busy during the lunch hours because I work a job in the mornings and go straight from there to another job, this does not leave much time for lunch.  Out of necessity I ended up bringing my lunch to handle the time crunch to eat on the way.

    I have to say this has been the best thing for me.  Why?  For a few reasons.

    #1) When I cut out eating out for lunch, my bank account really notices the difference (you’d be surprised)

    #2) When I eat out, it is very likely that I eat fried something (not healthy).  A turkey sandwich and chips are much healthier and I’ll chalk that up as a plus.

    #3) Saves time.  If you have ever complained about not having time (most people have) this is a great time saver.

    I am not saying I will never go out to eat.  It is too important to building relationships, but I can say that now that I have made bringing my lunch a habit, I don’t want to turn back.
