Save on Sandwiches

When you live in Manhattan, chances are, you are going to be out and about for the majority of the day. With this comes the big lunch time debate. Getting a sandwich or salad from the local deli or gourmet sandwich shop can end up being pricey day after day, totaling at around 7-10 dollars for a sandwich (and that doesn't include a beverage!) Five days a week and that's a good fifty bucks or more on just lunch food! A cheaper option that we love is to put in the extra effort (five minutes a day tops, we promise) and make your own sandwich and pack it along with you. The healthiest lunch meat you can buy is turkey. Top your sandwich with your favorite add ons such as lettuce, tomato, mustard, dressing, whatever you want! You can also boil eggs at night and make your own homemade egg salad. Take a little snack to go along with  your sandwich like a banana or bag of pretzels. Don't forget your eco-friendly water bottle to take with you! We guarantee you will spend a fraction of the cost on your lunch time meals during the week, and you will be a happy city dweller!

  1. I love this idea! Times are tough, just take a few extra minutes after dinner or while you are making breakfast and prepare lunch for the week.
