If I'm too tired to pack my lunch, I just have a sandwich - no excuse to go out and eat! I still do it sometimes, but at least I really feel like eating out and am not doing it because of how I was feeling the night before or that morning. (Sorry about your shoes. Happy shopping! I love Filene's Basement for stuff like that.) I usually keep a loaf of bread, jar of PB&J, popcorn, and some cans of coke in my office at work.

I still don't exactly eat healthily, but the $1 menu is not a choice for me anymore. :<<br/><br/>When I finally get motivated, I'll probably do most of my cooking for the week on Sunday and then freeze everything...

Today, I packed a roma tomato, a hunk of cheddar cheese, a tortilla, and some fresh basil. At lunchtime, I sliced the tomato and cheese into the tortilla with some basil leaves, popped it in the microwave to soften it up a bit, yum! Plus I was the envy of my coworkers with my cool STAR WARS vintage lunchbox, heh heh. What Jim said!

Two Words:

DOLLAR MENU

McDonald’s is my personal fav, but Wendy’s Jack in the Box and Burger King are in contention also!

That's my grand strategy and it's working alright... except those times I go out for happy hour (bad on budget) and then buy lunch the next day. :) Can't be perfect right?
