People who work: do you pack your own lunch?

[Argo]

VOTE.


I was just thinking, and I realized that when I used to eat out I'd spend over $100 a month on lunches. That's insane, so I started to pack a sandwich or two everyday.

 

[notfred]

I eat out or skip lunch.

 

[SnapIT]

Yup, usually tuna or chicken, sometimes salmon, almost always with rice...

 

[radioouman]

I go home everyday to eat lunch. My commute is 6 miles on country roads. I don't bother to pack in the morning, but I don't want to spend money at lunch either. So I just go home.

 

[JC]

I usually pack lunch, but I eat out sometimes.

 

[Hammer]

no

 

[Kev]

i pack lunch as much as i can unless i'm too tired in the morning, or late for the bus

 

[Binar]

 

[Yossarian]

I go to Quiznos or Subway or Robek's Juice or our cafeteria every day. I'm way too lazy to bring stuff.

 

[spidey]

I bring a lunch almost everyday.

 

[Viper GTS]

I eat at work.

I would guess I spend $300 a month on food.

Way too much, I know, but every time I've tried to pack lunches I got bored of it within a couple weeks & wasn't really saving all that much money.

not allowed to eat out at work, we have to stay in the building.

so they can whip us while we eat

 

[Zim Hosein]

Where's the option for "sometimes?" 🙂

 

[sohcrates]

ate out for about 6 months, now been packin' for like a year....cheaper for me, plus i eat less crap

 

[aceO07]

According to my Excel spreadsheet, I spend ~$1,200 on weekday lunches and another $1,200 for weekly dinners a year.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

shiet i should start packing my own!! i never thought of that!!! where's mom when you really need her eh?..i'll tell her to send packages of sandwiches to me

EDIT: OH FVCK!!! i almost forgot today's my mom's birthday!!!!

 

[Zugzwang152]

i will probably start eating out again when i work fulltime this summer. Preparing yourself a meal in the quantities and quality you can get at places doesn't justify the effort to make it 🙂

 

[jw791]

For those of you that bring your own, what kind of sandwiches and other stuff do you pack?

 

[ElFenix]

eat out or eat ramen in a break if i'm hungry

 

[PigPig]

if i work near my house, i go home for lunch~

only eat out once in a while......

too expensive to eat out everyday

 

[Fritzo]

I actually skip lunch and leave an hour early 🙂 My boss is cool with that, and I get out an hour earlier than everyone else, plus I bring something with me to eat while I work. If you think about it, you spend $5-$8 (sometimes more with tip at restaurants) 5x a week, that's $35-$56/week. Most people work about 48 weeks a year, so that's $1680-$2688/year you're blowing on cheeseburgers and subs. With a median cost of $2000 a year on eating out, I'm saving that and buying a wide screen TV 😉

[N8Magic]

I eat out for lunch pretty much every day unless I have some good leftovers from the night before.

 

[chuckieland]

[Lithium381]
