Ever since I started this job, everyone here but %5 of the office goes out for lunch everyday. We get catered lunch every Friday (free) but I have found myself following the crowd for sandwich shop/sushi/Tai food/mexican/etc. I don't eat a whole lot for lunch and started to bring my lunch. My coworkers are surprised.

What do you folks normally do?

Thats what is changing my mind, saves $10+ a day and I can start eating better. I wonder why it took me so long....

I used to always go out, but now I bring my lunch to save money. I have my own office though so I can sit at my desk, eat and browse the net at lunch without being bothered If I had to eat in the lunchroom with the dolts that are in there, or eat at a cube with people bothering me the entire time, I'd eat out.

I always eat out on Fridays though.

When I work over a meal time, we usually order sandwiches or pizza. Usually I don't eat at work though.

Normally a salad or something from home. I reserve fast food for maybe twice per month.

I generally go out to eat. There are a lot of really tasty places that are close by and sometime you just have to getout of the building to try to get your sanity back.
