“Bring your lunch!”
chirp bloggers giving advice to those who wish to save money.
“Cook a stew on Sunday night and it will feed you at work all week long!”
“Pack up leftovers from the night before!”

I haven’t always put a lot of thought into preparing nutritious, interesting lunches.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
Stepping away from the desk
Starting with a red herring!
Butyoushould eat outside, if that’s your thing.
Lunch swapping
Full disclosure: I don’t do this one, either.
Unfortunately, I have never worked with someone on the same lunch wavelength.
But doesn’t it sound lovely?
One day a week, a friend prepares lunch for you, and then you return the favor.
A word to the ambitious: this would work best with just two ormaybethree swappers.
Doggy-bagging It
A friend of mine from Paris came to visit New York a few years back.
If not, that’s the next day’s lunch sorted with zero effort.
My boss had no qualms about interrupting me.
Treating yourself
I am a candy fiend.
Eating lunch out can be an indulgence as well, but you might scratch that itch in other ways.
Find something you’re free to do to light up those reward centers in your brain.
Pinterest-worthy Mason jar salads!
Cunning tiffins that hold soup, salads and sandwiches in glorious isolation until that devoutly wished moment of consumption!
They are all so photogenic, so appealing, but … so complicated.
The simpler your lunch system is, the likelier you are to stick to it.
I can’t, so I just use whatever’s handy.
