I’m sitting at the Dallas/Ft.Worth airport waiting to depart to Wisconsin for a fun Oscar Mayer event! All who were invited had to create a sandwich using the Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Meat. My family had a blast taste testing all the different ones I created and I can’t wait to see what the others came up with!
We’ll also be discussing what brown bagging means to folks these days. I know that a lot of people carry their lunch to work so I’d love to know what your brown bagging tips are! I always carry a lunch tote full of eats when we’re gonna be working out on the ranch for a long period of time and even to town for the kiddos to have some snacks but these days, it’s actually an awesomely frugal way to eat in town if you can’t afford to eat out.
So, please share your ideas, tips and even your creative sandwiches and when I get back, I’ll feature some! My sandwich used the yummy Roast Beef.
Sorry for the short post, guess I’ll see ya when I get back!! If you want to follow me on twitter, I’ll be using the hashtag #oscarmayer
I love a croissant with cranberry sauce, cream cheese and sliced turkey…it’s really good!
I use lunch sacks and bags made of oilcloth. They are re-useable, so they are great on your wallet and the environment. Don’t buy prepackaged things- buy in the larger size and portion them yourself. Its cheaper. Entemmenns bread and pastries always sells their day olds at a discount store. That is where I buy my bread and freeze it. They also have tortillas, donuts, everything for super cheap. Also, you can use first aid cold packs to keep things fresh over the hours, then just rinse them of and reuse them! Target almost always has cute ones in the dollar bins! We are big brown baggers here, we love it!
Since I’ve taken a job over 30 miles away from home, brown bagging is essential for me! Thankfully we have a refrigerator and a microwave at work so I have lots of choices. Lots of times I’ll use my plastic containers and put in leftovers to warm up at work. Sometimes while shopping I will buy the frozen foods I like that I can cook in the microwave. Last week I forgot my lunch so I went to the closest grocery story and bought items to keep at work to make sandwiches and have chips. I’ve saved a ton of money by not eating out every day!
