Yes ma’am, you have to be creative to avoid that pit of lackluster lunch depression (a real issue), but I would rather save fifty dollars a week and be bored for twenty minutes than buy Cobb salads every day. Sometimes bring leftovers from the night before, sometimes yogurt with granola, but this week it’s all about avocado, cheese, a hardboiled egg, and tomato on whole grain bread. I pack all the ingredients and make sandwiches in the kitchen. Plan ahead, wake up ten minutes earlier (or be ten minutes late to the office), and spend the money you saved all week on a classy bottle of red.
