Last night I heard on the ABC news that according to a recent survey by Accounting Principals, the average worker spends $37 a week or $2,000 a year on buying lunches. Purchasing coffee can add another $1,000 to the tab. Folks, we can do a lot with that amount of money!
To save money and resources, we can make our own coffee, bring it with us in a reusable container and not waste all those paper cups and lids. Also there is no wasting time standing in line or idling our cars at the fast-food window. Home-prepared food tends to be healthier and less salty too.
Some brown bag ideas can be found in the statewide Electronic Resources. Go to the Gale Databases search for"lunchbox cooking" and limit your results to full-text documents. A cookbook to try is My Rustic Sandwiches: Great Recipes to Savor Artisan Bread.
