Recently while trying to make more time in my life I decided to find time to get things done during lunch. I also decided to try and mix savings in.

Another quick lunch idea for my busy day, not only quick but inexpensive.

IDEA: About $2.60 + Home Packed

Today’s lunch a Taco Bell 5-Layer Beefy Burrito $1.08 with tax), a 20-oz soft drink from a local gas station  ($1.51 with tax) and some broccoli and cheesy rice with corn (cost ??).

Also, we saved money on the back-end, sort of. We’ve kept the plastic containers from Chinese food take out, they are microwaveable and have lids. So we have collected these instead of going out and buying plastic containers to store stuff in the fridge.  So that’s a burrito, a bottled soft-drink and a plactic container full of corn and rice – plenty to eat for about $2.60!
