Cheap Eats - lunch - Egg Sandwich

As a new stay at home mom, being able to economize is key to keeping my sahm status.  That's why cheap eats are right up my alley!  

My latest go-to item has been the classic egg sandwich.  Full of protein to keep me full until dinner time and indulgent enough to keep my snacking habit under control.  And the best part - it's cheap!
