I like stockpiling and putting treats, like the Starbucks frappacinos that were .25 at Walgreens last week, in his box. Looking forward to more of these type blogs!Money Saving Maine-iachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500469344556920815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163881579440869075.post-65241321105089300802009-07-28T08:27:05.724-07:002009-07-28T08:27:05.724-07:00My Hubby brown bags it almost every day too & ...My Hubby brown bags it almost every day too & much like yours, I know when my supplies are down when I start getting debit card receipts for local restaurants. <br /><br />My Hubby usually takes leftovers if we have them available.. I usually make extra just so he can take them along. He doesn't mind them, actually often prefers leftovers to the greasy stuff the guys always get. A PBJ is not his idea of lunch, so I often have microwavable meals for when we eat all of dinner. <br /><br />He does enjoy the occasional meal with the guys, and I encourage it. Makes him feel good to get something different, and gives me a day off from trying to be sure I've made enough for leftovers :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645952143928909454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163881579440869075.post-55162351552291474272009-07-28T06:41:01.370-07:002009-07-28T06:41:01.370-07:00I guess I'm lucky my hubby walks down the stre...I guess I'm lucky my hubby walks down the street to come home and eat leftovers for lunch with me everyday. I forget how expensive it is for someone to eat lunch at work even brown bagging it!<br /><br />My daughter will be starting school next month and I won't let her eat school lunch this year because I don't think the food is good quality and nutritious. So I'm already trying to stockpile things while they are on sale.<br /><br />My hubby spends so much more money buying a sandwhich here (when he can't make it home for lunch), a bag of chips there and a soda over there, etc. I try to keep stocked up on his favorites too because I get them much cheaper!!Queenbuv3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10767805292831696201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163881579440869075.post-3408543539160657462009-07-28T06:33:54.048-07:002009-07-28T06:33:54.048-07:00My husband is great about bringing his lunch, too....My husband is great about bringing his lunch, too. I'm lucky because most of his coworkers also bring their lunches, so he's not the odd one out.MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163881579440869075.post-69048091476625350902009-07-28T05:37:45.720-07:002009-07-28T05:37:45.720-07:00My hubs packs his lunch, too - he at least has a r...My hubs packs his lunch, too - he at least has a relatively cheap cafeteria in his building, but it's still easily $6 for him to buy lunch. His big splurge is a weekly Starbucks - I can't deny him that!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574414620218179535noreply@blogger.com
