I feed my pig-like husband this way

Packing lunches for my husband, who works construction, used to feel impossible. He’d grab gas station food every day, and it crushed our budget. I started making big batches of chickpea and black bean salads with corn, peppers, and a little olive oil. Super cheap, filling, and they hold up in a cooler all day. I add hard-boiled eggs or leftover chicken if we have it. We’ve saved hundreds a month, and he’s not hungry by 3pm. It’s wild how much you can save with a little prep. #Recipes #budgetlunches #bluecollarfood #Food
