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.
Tuna Pouches
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.
Pre Cooked Rice
I love to have one or two with these at the office and eat them with Rice in case I forgot my lunch!
Indian Food Ready To Eat
I know it may seem extra, but you can always have one or two of these pouches of noodles at work for an easy quick fix lunch if you forget.
Precooked Pasta
These are an amazing little go to, and don’t have to be refrigerated! Definitely keep these in your office just in case box.
Hereford Meatballs with Spaghetti Sauce
It never hurts to keep Ramen noodles at the office! They will do in a pinch if you forget your lunch!
Ramen Noodles
I know it seems a little odd to keep shelf stable meat at work, but these are pretty good to just throw in the cabinet in case you need something!
Shelf Stable Meat
These meals are shelf stable and will definitely do in a pinch! I personally like them all.
Compleats Meals
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.
Atkins: Protein Bars
Here’s another little staple that I often keep at work. These are pretty cheap and are good snacks.
Peanut Butter Crackers
Listen, it definitely hurts when you forget your lunch, but this small rice cooker can be hidden away up in a cabinet and you can cook your lunch a while
you are working!
Mini Rice Cooker
I don’t know about you, but my office does not provide anything except plastic utensils. You definitely need to keep these at your desk and keep them in your desk because people will steal them!
Knife Fork Spoon Set
It never hurts to throw these in your office just in case box! They do not have aspartame in them, which is a bonus! I like the variety pack.
SINGLES TO GO! Welch's Cherry Pomegranate Mix
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.
Lunch at work? How to save : r/Frugal
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.
