Brown Bagging It

Being bargain hunters, we were a little surprised a few months ago when we noticed that our funds were a little more depleted than normal.  Had we been traveling too much?  Nope.  Any recent out of control shopping trips?  Not that we could remember.  Any late night online purchases?  Nothing other than the $36 discount subscription to Us Weekly.  What could it be?

After careful consideration, we realized that we’d slacked off on taking our lunches to work and waaaaaay too much money was going to lunches out and stops at Starbucks.

Solution:   We are brown bagging it.  And, we are making two lunches and selling the second to our co-worker ($4).  So, now that we have a new set up and a business arrangement, we need help.  What are your ideas for inexpensive, flavorful, healthy lunches?!
