Uninspired Bento

I love the Laptop Lunch Bento 2.0, but it's not always feasible to be creative at 6:30a.m.

Here is a very normal, boring lunch that still makes my family happy:
The turkey was Foster Farm at $2.50 for a package that made 6 sandwiches worth.  The cheese was American I got with a $5 off coupon for 5 at $1.50 each, so approx $.50 per package that has 16 slices.  The peanuts were just $2 per can and the pretzels were $2.50 per 1 lb. bag.  The bread was on special for $1.49 a loaf.  I got the DanActive for $.88 for a 4 pack and the clementines were $2.99 per bag.  The eggs were boiled from the last day of the freshness date at $.95 a dozen.  So the grand total for this meal was around about $1.28.  My goal is to spend $1 or under per lunch, but it's so hard sometimes.  It has to be high protein and no red or yellow dye because of my son's allergies (the marker is a red dye, but he doesn't eat the decoration one :-P)
