Most weeks, I head for the farmer's market or grocery store to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables for a week's worth of lunches. I can eat like the fresh-food queen that I am for about the price of a deli salad. You've got leftovers Free up your fridge of all those to-go containers. Whether you've got pizza, pasta or a super-vegetarian burrito, it'll taste delicious tomorrow at noon. This way you don't have to even stand in line and can get right to the eating.
Hunger sets in.
This top 10 reason was submitted by my honey. He works in a world of business suits, cell phones and Starbucks and prefers the peace of eating away from it all. When the weather is right you should be prepared to take the time to dine outside. There's always a private patch of grass, a rarely used walkway, or the off-limits rooftop that is perfect for your noontime picnic. All I need is a knife, a toaster oven and my weekly trip to the store, and I'm set for a healthy week of dining out of my lunchbox.
