WITH soaring inflation the cost of groceries and meal prep is through the roof, but one bargain hunter has found a way to keep lunch costs down.
The TikTok user shared an item she picked up for just $15, and it could save her hundreds of dollars.
Kayla is a mom of four, so definitely knows all about budgeting.
She recently shared a TikTok post, highlighting the one Amazon item she uses that helps her stay on track and on budget when it comes to lunchtime at work.
Kayla started off her post by revealing she is a big Amazon fan and that she also loves to save money.
Both came together in a product she found online - a souped-up lunchbox from Bentgo - and said she loved so much she bought two.
It comes complete with a stackable lunch container with 54 ounce salad bowl, a four compartment bento-style tray, a three ounce sauce container and a built-in reusable fork.
"I pack my lunch every single day. I'm a pretty frugal person...I like to save money."
She said it's easy to trust her opinion on Amazon products, like the salad bowl, because she said she absolutely detests wasting money and doesn't want you to waste yours either.
"Packing my lunch for work saves a bunch of money," Kayla said.
According to a survey by Visa, US workers spend an average of $53 a week for lunch, which works out to just over $200 every month and more than $2,500 annually.
Some spend even more, depending on if they go to a deli, a fast food chain like McDonald's or a high-end eatery.
She showed off the different compartments as well as her favorite salad ingredients to throw in, including fruits and dressing.
"It allows me to have healthy, delicious lunches every day for work. I just love it."
She received more than 20,000 views and more than 200 comments on her post.
One read: "Ok, we’re best friends now. Because I, too, hate spending $$ but love must haves."
Another wanted to see more of the recipes she packs in her lunch box.
Still another enthusiast said: "I’m retired so I don’t need to pack a lunch, but I want this!!"
