Do you take food from home to work or do you eat out?

I always eat right next to mi keyboard my non greasy, well cooked home made meal saving a lot of money on expensive lunch bought on restaurants :happy: lol

Today I brought an apple, can of tuna and some onions and lemon to complement it

ohh and I push down lunch with plain water lol

I bring my food from home most of the time. Saves me like $50 a week. There may be the occasional lunch meal from work but not too often. It can get expensive.

I used to just eat near work. Then when I worked less hours, I realized how much I was saving money just bringing in food from home. Its usually simple, a bottle of water, a small snack, and a frozen food dinner or leftovers from last nights dinner.

I just bring food to work/school since it's cheaper.
Eat out occasionally with friends if they match my schedule...

Im usually too busy to stop for lunch, so whenever I stop real quick between appointments to grab a new pack of cigarettes, I just grab a premade sandwich for like 2.99

I always bring my lunch. We only get 25 minutes first break and 15 2nd break. However, I get paid for every second that I am on the job. Usually the produce inspectors give me all kinds of free samples so I never bring or buy fruit.

If I don't bring something, I will run to the grocery store ... they have a salad bar, and if that doesn't look good I'll grab a South Beach pizza or lean cuisine from the freezer. Fast food is a major no-no.

I eat out every other day so it's not boring nor expensive. Plus fast-food everyday burns me out by the end of the week

I use to work two full time jobs and didn't have time to stop even for fast food. I got into the habit of making a sandwich to eat while I drive. Now I make a sandwich and take it to work and eat when I have a chance. It's not about money, but saving time and calories.
