Bringing lunch to work is so easy, it's no wonder why 40 percent of you voted that as the best everyday saving trick of this year in our Best of 2010 coverage. Meanwhile, a close runner-up was automated savings followed by the use of coupons. This definitely is one of my money resolutions for the new year — to start bringing in lunch to work more often. Assuming that an average lunch costs $6.50, it'll cost you about $1,560 in one year if you eat out every day. Looks like a big figure when you add it all up, doesn't it? I'm wondering, what do you usually bring to work for lunch?

Healthy Gadget: Bento Stainless Lunch Jar

Lunchtime at work (or school) can be a dieter's hell.

Lunchtime at work (or school) can be a dieter's hell. While you're sticking to your healthy turkey sandwich and yogurt, your coworkers are brining in yummy Mexican food that makes your mouth water at first sight.

You too can have yummy, but only healthy, dishes for lunch. You just may need to update the brown sack look. I am loving this Zojirushi Ms Bento Stainless Lunch Jar ($42.99). The stainless steel construction and vacuum insulation ensures foods remain hot or cold. This set includes two microwavable containers and an easy carry tote bag (which is kind of cute too). This way you'll have your coworkers mouth watering at the smell of your own reheated lentil tomato soup. Buy it from VeryAsia.com.
