Help me avoid the stinkfridge!

Help me save money by bringing lunch to work: I need a mini fridge (not a dorm fridge!) that is of decent quality. I'm looking for one of those super small desktop fridges for work, because the idea of packing a lunch and putting it in the disgusting science experiment that is our community fridge is repulsive.

A google search for desktop refrigerator yielded a couple of results, but only from sellers I've never heard of and brands I've never heard of.

A couple of my coworkers have nice little ones I think are made by Sunbeam, which they got from Target a long time ago. However, no Target I've been to has ever had one in stock or even known what I was asking about.

All I need:
- Big enough to fit a sack lunch and a drink
- Small enough not to take up tons of space in my cubicle
- Someone that has actually used one to vouch for the quality!

Salvation from Super-Sizing!

Lunch time! Calling all Mefites for any and all suggestions of successful brown-bagging! So right now, lunch hour at work means a drive up to all the fast food spots that have sprung up around a nearby off-ramp. After only a week at this job, I'm already disliking the toll this is taking on my wallet and health. There has to be a better way!

So I'm looking for any suggestions you might have on affordable, nutritious, portable meals. I'm not a picky eater by any account, so don't hold back on account of my palette. The only things to take into consideration while making suggestions is that I cannot cook meat beforehand at home, though cold cuts and the like are okay. Microwaves and coolers are available to me at my job.

Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to trying out dozens of mobile MeFite meals!
