At my previous job, I had no problem with bringing my lunch every day to work. My co-workers were all the brown-bagging type, and nobody really took a proper lunch break. Furthermore, my office was not near any sort of restaurant or café, thereby eliminating the accessibility of food out, as well as my craving for it.

If you want to be really frugal, you can get a couple of gallons of water (or fill empty gallons up at home) and bring plastic cups for everyone during the trip. Packing your own cereal, fruit, lunch meat, cheese, peanut butter, and bread can save you TONS of money when traveling!

When you are at work, it is very easy to spend too much money on food. Many times offices are located close to coffee shops, fast food joints, and more. Most of this easily accessible food is not good for you, and it is expensive to boot. Many offices have refrigerators in break rooms where you can store food.

Years ago when I worked in retail buying I went out to lunch just about everyday–not the best habit to fall into. If I use an average of $7 a day and multiply that by 5 days a week and multiply that by 4 weeks a month, the monthly total for lunch was about $140–and that’s being conservative–YIKES!

Something that I’ve found throughout all of my trips to the many different places I’ve visited, is that food is always a cost that is hard to contain. There are a lot of things you can make without a full stove, so this is a pretty good option if you want to be very frugal. Generally lunch and breakfast can be cheap and easy.
