3 Inexpensive Products That Make Eating And Drinking At Work Easier

Let’s face it, many of us spend long hours at work. This means a lot of time away from the convenience of home. On top of that, some offices and workplaces don’t offer all the bells and whistles to keep you happy and comfortable. This leaves you on your own to create a work environment that is enjoyable. I’m sure there are many things that you would love to have at work, but here are 3 inexpensive products that make eating and drinking at work easier.

Inexpensive Products that Make Eating and Drinking at Work Easier #1: An Insulated Travel Mug

These days portable coffee mugs have become more sophisticated. Many manufacturers have improved their designs, making them non-spill and virtually immune to the outside temperature. These features add comfort to your workday, knowing that you’re not risking a spill or wasting time heating up your coffee. Insulated mugs aren’t just for coffee either. How about putting your favorite smoothie in it for a fast breakfast on the way to the office? It beats having to stop on the way.

Inexpensive Products that Make Eating and Drinking at Work Easier #2: A Lunch Box

This one not only gives you a fast, convenient lunch but also saves you a boatload of money. A recent survey revealed that a whopping 72% of Americans usually visit a fast food restaurant for lunch! That’s a lot of burgers and a lot of dough! Why do you think so many people do this? I, for one, believe it’s due to laziness and convenience. And, yes, I agree that it takes a little forethought and time to prepare your lunch the night before.

Another possibility is that some people may not have an appropriate bag in which to carry their lunch. Fortunately, there are some really cool designs in women’s and men’s lunch boxes. You can even find some that are eco-friendly and full of awesome containers to keep things warm or cold.

Inexpensive Products that Make Eating and Drinking at Work Easier #3: A Portable Crockpot

Some people hate using a microwave oven to heat or reheat meals. Believe it or not, there still exists a misconception about microwaves being bad for you. Though they do emit some EMFs, with proper use, you should steer clear of any trouble. That said, if you still don’t want to use one, what options do you have when you’re at work? If you don’t want to go out to eat, you could bring a small crock pot. It will keep your midday meal warm while you work without taking up too much space. Even better, you could fill it with a nice meal for you and your co-workers for special occasions. Some offices do a lunch co-op where each employee takes a turn providing a meal.
