Links: Bento on the cheap

Posted By Biggie On August 24, 2007 @ 12:17 pm In tips | 10 Comments

One benefit of packing lunch is the money you can save by not eating out. Even US$6 a day can really add up over time — $1,560 per year! I don’t know about you, but I’ve got other things to spend that kind of money on, and my own food is usually better than what’s at lunch places closest to the office.

  • Freakin’ Tasty Bento has put together an excellent post [1] Bento for Cheap Bastards, covering equipment and food ideas. Check it out — there are some good ideas here.
  • Calculate how much you can save over time by packing a cheap lunch instead of eating out with this [2] lunch savings calculator. It’s eye-opening!
