I know I could pack a lot cheaper (and most days, we still try), but I tell myself a $2 Healthy Choice meal (though I stockup heavily when I get them for less) beats a fast food alternative! He also has a microwave at work and keeps soup & pasta on hand just in case he forgets. My hubby keeps frozen dinners on hand.

I have a hard time packing my husband's lunch though. He's allergic to nuts, so no PBJ or nuts to munch on. He won't eat fruit or raw vegetables. He likes just being able to grab his lunch & not have to heat it up, so, no leftovers. It's a struggle, and I have to break most of these rules to make a lunch for him, but I know whatever I pack will be healthier and cheaper than the alternative- a fast-food value meal. My most successful lunch strategy so far? A homemade "lunchable" with slices of cheese and summer sausage, crackers, a salty snack, and a sweet snack. Not the healthiest, but better than the alternative (That's what I keep telling myself!). These are all great tips, and I use them all for myself.
