Sometimes you can't find everything you want or need locally and you need to find a new resource. One of my resources is an online grocer specializing in vegan goods called Pangea- The Vegan Store. http://www.veganstore.com/ It has served me pretty well over the years for the things I just can't always find nearby or for when I don't have time to go to the bigger cities. Sometimes products I found locally months ago, are no longer able to be found nearby.
Getting a box in the mail, even when I know very well what I ordered is still a bit exciting. As the holidays approach, I picked up a few classics as well as a couple new things to try. I've learned to use whatever resources I have available, even online ordering.
There are some awesome vegetarian and vegan lunch ideas out there, especially if you spend any time on pinterest. For the everyday, it's not always an option. Sometimes, there just isn't time to prep and lunches end up being leftovers from the night before or something that can be put together from the freezer or cupboard.
Just because someone is trying to eat well and conscious, doesn't mean they have the time to be perfect. You don;t have to be perfect, you just have to be true to yourself and not sweat the small stuff.
