Make Mine TO GO

Pack and carry lunches, snacks, and beverages for work or school.

• Make your own single serving bags. Purchasing single servings of foods can be expensive. Make your own by buying the larger size and portioning the food out into bags or containers. You can save on yogurt, cottage cheese, pretzels, crackers, carrots, and other foods.
• Pack leftovers from the night before. Use a soft-sided cooler or lunch box with an ice pack to keep it safe.
• Keep a snack bag in your drawer at work or in your car. A stash of whole-wheat crackers, pretzels, low-fat granola bars, or other non-perishable foods will help keep you from hitting expensive vending machines and convenience stores.
• Drink water rather than other more costly beverages. Do not purchase bottled water. Instead, use refillable containers and tap water.
