Thinking back to my own school lunches served in the cafeteria, they weren't the healthiest choices of food. I think that’s precisely why many parents are choosing to brown-bag for their kids.

Not only does it save me money, but I also know what I am eating. Besides, I'd like to think that my wife and I are pretty good cooks. I enjoy my own cooking quite a bit. Why not brown-bag our own food then? I have become a big fan of brown-bagging. Not only does it save me money, but I also know what I am eating.

Unfortunately, we moved to a nicer building but are now in the middle of an office park, so walking around is not all that pleasant.

Technically, a site for dinners, but you can definitely use these for lunches or left-overs. A good site to check out is http://www.5dollardinners.com/.

But, I do buy him frozen lunches from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. They both have quite a few really good options for $4 and less. He mixes this with also taking leftovers and then the occasional dining out. When I worked, I preferred to take my lunch. I would eat it at my desk, then put on my walking shoes and head out door. I loved to spend the majority of my lunchtime walking outside to get some exercise and time in the fresh air! My husband would never make his lunches and I’m just not that organized to do it for him.
