And shop the sales. I plan my menus around what meats are on sale that week. I buy the fruit that's on sale, etc. I too have been packing my lunch, not only to save money, but to save calories. It's better to know what I'm eating ahead of time than to wander around the cafeteria trying to find what I can eat. I use my freezer a lot. I used to find that I could buy a package of lunch meat and throw away more than half of it because I couldn't use it all by the time it went bad. So now, I divide it up into individual portions when I buy it and freeze them. You can put frozen lunch meat on a sandwich that's going into a school lunch and it will be thawed by the time the kids have to eat it and I don't buy lunch meat as often.
