Who doesn’t forget their lunch every once in a while! I always keep a few things at the office just in case. DoorDash can get very expensive.

These are so good to have on hand. I pretty much like all of the flavors. I especially like the spicy ones.

It’s always nice to have a bag or two of Rice at the office because you can eat it with the tuna that you have there or with pre-cooked Thai or Indian pouches.

It never hurts to have some kind of protein bar on hand if you forget your lunch. I try to keep at least a box of these since they are low-carb. It will get you through in a pinch.

All the items that you bring to work don’t have to be shelf stable if you do have a refrigerator. You can actually bring freezable items as well. There are some good ideas on this Reddit.

If you have a freezer at work, burritos will do in a pinch. Definitely bring a freezer bag to put them in once you open them up. Also, maybe shove a jar of salsa into the fridge for just in case.
