I started bringing my lunch years ago after doing the math. Approx $15 a day times 5 = $75 a week times 4 = $300 a month. Plus you eat better instead of food that isn't good for you. I have a $25 coffee maker that I program to make my coffee every morning 15 minutes before I leave out. I make my iced coffee the night before. And I meal prep on Sundays. I have been putting the money I use to spend on lunch into savings and investing.
If your feel the need or want in the future… Maybe with that savings you can invest in a 12 volt fridges and power bank. If you feel like having a fridge. Also an electric hot pot to heat up or cook quick meals is a nice idea. I enjoy those myself. 😊 👍
I have a nicer cooler now and for what I do now an electric hot pot won’t do much 🤔 I should update this video since my life style has changed a bit I mostly work wild land fire now
Funny man I actually ordered a Stanley lunchbox last week with that same mindset. 2 to 6 bucks to bring lunch and coffee vs 10 to 20 to grab take out haha Solid video my dude
What sizes are those snapware containers? I'm looking at the Stanley 10 qt lunchbox but there aren't many sources online saying what size food containers work with them.
I always bring lunch to work and you need the right gear to do so I love the stanley brand but its not readily available in Canada. I use a molle tctical soft insulated luch bag that hold a water bottle attachment and first aid kit,nI use Thermos soup containers and Yeti tumblers I wish we had more stanley stuff frankly I think its better then Yeti. I have Yeti for hot coffee and I bring aluminum water bottles for year round use. Its much more practical to bring lunch to work and to take the family out for nice dinners when the time calls for it. I can spend in 2 days the same amount of money on take out at work that would last me 7 working shifts in groceries. I am more motivated to make my lunches and save thousands per year and actually be satisfied on the job then always spending money on unhealthy greasy "Road food" that Im always craving for hours later
If you want a sweet hank, Carlos is the man, I have had mine for well over a year and it looks as good as the day it arrived! I got the spaceman themed one as i live across the river from the space center in Cape Canaveral Fl.
In 25yrs of working in the same place with a staff canteen , I have brought only 1 meal there , ever and thats to give that meal , a scotch egg to me wife to taste IT , I knew early on that buying meals over making them is thriple the cost , I ant that rich . So each time you eat out over cooking or making at home is 3x the cost , WHY , easy its $1 for food , $1 for wages & $1 of profit , over going to supermarket and buying food . So I buy just the food , NOT the wages or profit .

I pinned your comment to the top that’s an awesome story 👍🏽
Smart bro. Really smart.
Pro-strats!
Wow. That’s dope !
That reminds me of my dad’s Stanley lunch box and thermos set he used every day back in the 70’s.
That’s cool bro

Very cool! Great video Carlos 👍
Jeremy you the man!
The glass containers fit perfectly. Who makes them?
Pyrex
You are a smart young man
More young people need to open their eyes and realize what you have Sir
Hey thank you for the comment brother
Great video! We're seeing the same thing in our family! It's not cheap to eat out. $60 to $80 for McDonald's! And they wanna go out every other day! 🤑
Dang bro I know I feel you it’s tough but cooking at home is better haha
Stanley is the best and all the rest are just a copy. GREAT JOB! Honest and awesome opinions.
Yo thanks Jag one 😬👍🏽

Hey thank you gotta save money for more gear lol
What’s the red cap shirt model ?
I can find the model since I still use the shirt but they don’t make it anymore. The new ones they make are actually really good quality as well
Merry Christmas

Hey once I get home I’ll look. Mine are glass tho so the walls will be a lil thicker than plastic stuff
In the rear with the (Stanley) gear ;)
I don’t know if this is good or not 🤣😬
May be a weird video, but an awesome video. Love it!
Hey that means a lot buddy!! It really does 🙏🏽
You know I am a Stanley fan!
you like rugged quality gear with a competitive price point 😊 who knew 🤣?

Yo great comment I agree I do like Stanley more than yeti hope they start offering more stuff to our Canadian friends tho.
That's a pretty sick lunchbox! Chicharrones are life
Gotta have them haha
It takes just a couple of minutes to prep a meal before work and put in the fridge over night .

You the man bro 🙌🏽😊
@@monkeyfaceII Thanks, it is a great one! And it looks as good when your company sent it!
