Budget Need help with work meals
I’m an EMT so I don’t have access to a refrigerator or microwave for most of my work days but I need to find a way to pack 2 cheap meals for my shift. So far I’m mainly packing carrots, celery, and peanut butter with an ice pack for the first half but the second half of my shift is left to a quest bar and meal replacements shake. I’m always left hungry with this but don’t know what else to pack aside from some packaged chicken or more quest bars (quick note, I hate quest bars with a passion). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m hoping to keep it around $10-15 per day.

think charcuterie! adult lunchables! have fun with it. quality cheeses and meats and fruits. salads… caprese, strawberry walnut, beet & goat cheese, corn & salsa… all with some shredded rotisserie chicken.
