Want an easy way to save money? Pack and take your lunch to the office. Experts say you can save as much as $1000-$3000 per year by bringing your lunch to work. Save even more money (not to mention trees) when you choose a reusable lunch bag over brown bags.

There are many styles of reusable lunch bags from basic to fashionable. Lunch cooler bags tend to offer more in the way of packing organization. However, if you’re looking for something more stylish, take a look at lunch totes. Lunch tote bags also offer the most versatility with large main compartments and open tops for extra tall items.

Take a look at our favorite cute lunch bags below.

This is the same lunch tote that I purchased for myself!

How much do you spend on your lunch at work? Even if you are being conservative, $5 a day on lunch 5 days a week totals to at least $1,300 a year. And if you are spending $5 or less going out, you can bet that 9 times out of 10, it isn’t healthy. The only bonuses of going to a sit-down restaurant are that you MIGHT be eating healthier, and there is less paper and plastic waste than eating “fast food”.

My healthy challenge to you: Pack your lunch. There are so many benefits to it, it is amazing that there are still so many who eat out every day! First, if you pack your own lunch, you can eat so much healthier. A bag of carrots, an apple, a sandwich, cottage cheese. So much better than french fries! And you won’t have to spend so much time on the treadmill trying to work it off. Second, you can do your part to be green by using a lunch tote rather than brown paper bags. (even when you re-use them, they are worn out by one week of use.) And third, you can easily save money by making your lunch. After going on a budget with my husband a year ago, we both got re-usable lunch bags. We budget for every little expense, and you would be surprised how much can be saved by getting your food at the grocery store and spending 10 minutes each morning to put a healthy lunch together. It also saves time, since you no longer have to leave work just to eat.

Not sure what type of lunch bag to get? Anything insulated is perfect when you do not have anywhere cold to store your lunch. Pick a bag that has room for what you need. If you plan on packing a large garden salad, be sure to purchase a lunch bag large enough to hold the container you plan on packing in. Want to keep your soda or beverage cool? You might want a bag with a compartment that can hold a cold pack. eBags has over 250 lunch bags!! The choices are almost endless.

Sure carrying a lunch bag or box as an adult can seem a little elementary, but the Mario Batali Margherite Insulated Satchel in Persimmon Floral, is the perfect solution. This insulated lunch bag takes the shape and style of a trendy handbag, making it the perfect way to get your lunch to work! This way you can feel good about using a reusable lunch bag, AND maintain your fashion forward disposition! Fashionistas rejoice!

We’ve received quite a few comments recently about eBags’ lunch bags so I thought I’d do a quick post to feature some of my favorites. You can find all of the eBags lunch bags here.

So I guess you can say that I not only work for eBags, I’m also a client. I use the eBags Slim Lunch Box EVERY day. Well, not the days I eat out of course, but I am so glad I bought this bag. It’s great because it fits almost anywhere from the smallest office refrigerators to the large fridges that are usually packed with stuff. I like the Grasshopper color because it goes well with the green interior of my black eBags Vivid Collector Tote - Medium. And while this lunch box is thin, it actually can hold quite a bit. I can get a soda can or water bottle, 2 or 3 100 calorie packs or equivalent size snacks, a piece of fruit (depending on the main dish), and a main dish in there (frozen meal, leftovers in a container, or sandwiches). I can also fit in utensils and napkins if necessary in the mesh velcro pouch.

Before I purchased the eBags Slim Lunch Box, I had my eye on the eBags Lunch Cooler. I ended up with the slim box because I needed something that would fit in my tote and in a small fridge. The eBags Lunch Cooler is also a great bag - just not thin. It has almost all of the same features as the slim lunch box including insulation on all sides, mesh pocket, and a shoulder strap.

I remember the days of school lunch. I never had anything as cool as a reusable lunch bag though. When I grew out of lunchboxes I went to the generic brown bag. BORING!

If only I were a kid again. I’d carry one of these cute school lunch bags.

	Built NY Munchler Four-Pack: Built NY is known for truly unique lunchboxes and lunch bags, but these are a notch above the rest. Meet Benny, Boo, Lefty, and Meadow - the fun animal school lunch bags that are the result of Built NY’s collaboration with award-winning children’s book illustrator Stephen Savage. For less than $25.00 you can own all 4 bags in the collection. That’s nearly one for every school day in the week.
	LEGO Insulated School Bag - Black / Skeleton: What kid doesn’t think fondly of LEGOs - especially boys. From all sorts of LEGO block sets to Legoland, LEGO has become a big part of so many children’s lives. Now your child can take that love for LEGO to school for lunch. No, not by eating the blocks - please don’t do that - but by carrying a LEGO Insulated School Bag. This particular bag shown here features a LEGO skeleton design.
	Wildkin Purple English Riding Lunch Bag: Got a little girl who loves horses? This Wildkin lunch bag is perfect then. The print features horses, saddles, and other english riding imagery and comes in a lovely lavender color.
	Emilie Sloan Gabrielle Lunch Tote: Icy Blue: For older kids in school, here is a great example of a more sophisticated but still lovely lunch tote. The bag features room for your lunch, water bottle, and more. It is made from a rain resistant material.
