Title: Do you pack lunch for work or have fast food?
Post by: camellia0 on October 23, 2017, 09:59:44 am
I try to eat my packed lunch, but sometimes I have a taste for a sandwich or other item and save my lunch for the next day.

I bring my lunch almost every day. I work in the city and food, even fast food, is more money here. I don't like to spend the money on it.

I try my best to pack lunch everyday, but sometimes I have to cave and run down the street for something cheap. My fiancé and I have started meal prepping for the week on Sundays which really helps to keep costs down and to make mornings a lot faster.

We always go to a restaurant for lunch. We don't eat fast food. We work out of our vehicle so we need a break at lunch time to unwind from the morning.

I took a  packed lunch about 90% of the time when working.  It was quick and easy to get to eat and saved a lot of money.   I would cook on my days off and freeze it , the all I had to do was grab a container and  go. Heat it up on the microwave at work. also took my drinks and water.   amazing how much money you can save in a year.  I figured $5.00  a day and every week would put that in  a savings for Christmas. , what I did not spend for Christmas then went into the regular savings and I would start over again

I take my lunch every single day. I pack my son's lunch every day for school.  My working son, well, he buys lunch every day ($15 for one person!?!?!?) and I have taken away his debit card. He needs to live in the now and figure out how much money he doesn't have.

I don't work outside my home, but my husband packs his lunch religiously every morning. I've never known him to veer from eating the lunch he packed, but I think the cafeteria where he works is pretty expensive, so it doesn't really surprise me.:)

This doesn't apply to me, but when I did work, I did Home Health care, so I had no other choice but to eat fast food.

Sometimes I pack my lunch - or it on on the way there.  I never go get fast food.  I work in a grocery store.  So there is no excuse for me to not have anything healthy available.  Or convenient for that matter.  The only inconvenience is when I'm taking a lunch or break and I'm interrupted by customers.  We are expected to help them when on brake or lunch -  - - - than our lunches and breaks are extended.  So we get our time - it's just a pain sometimes... especially when ya get that one customer that wants to talk about what there making for dinner ... sheesh I just wanna eat my yogurt ya know.

I pack breakfast which is generally a breakfast burrito with avocados, salsa, two eggs, bacon, spinach and cheese. I pack a lunch which is salads on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Mondays and Thursdays are usually leftovers or whatever the rest of my family will not eat. I will treat myself to a breakfast burrito from work occasionally. It usually happens if I have had less than five hours of sleep and do not have time to make my breakfast/lunch. Once or twice a month I will treat myself to a candy bar or cookies from the café. There are enough bowls of candy on our floor to go grazing and would most certainly meet the needs of any candy addict.

I have no reason to pack a lunch because I only work part time. I work two to four hours per day three days a week. Often I stop on the way home at a fast food place.

I have to pack one: I work in an area where there are NO fast food places around so I would have to order from the cafeteria in the building next door or take out, and both options are expensive.

Where I work we have a kitchen but it is mostly deep fried appetizers or cheese steaks.  On the days when I work my day shifts I usually bring a sandwich with me (I love my PB and J).  When I work the night shift I go in late enough to eat dinner before I go to work so I take a snack with me.

I live very close (4-5 minutes) from work so I generally run home for lunch and see what leftovers are available.

I work in food service but not at a fast food restaurant. We usually eat what is on the menu for that day. Sometimes I bring my lunch if I don't want what we are serving. I don't eat fast food.

I try to pack lunch but sometimes I just feel lazy and buy my lunch instead.  So much cheaper to pack my own lunch though.

I eat a packed lunch this way I know what I'm eating is fresh, healthy and something I don't have to spend an arm and a leg buying each day.  It's always a great way to save on money and stress.  With you're lunch all set, you don't have the hassle of waiting on a line then figuring out how long you have left to eat it before you have to get back to work.

I mostly pack something to eat, cause it's cheaper than running my car to get food. Some days I like to get out and get food though!

I usually pack a lunch, it's cheaper and healthier, but sometimes I'll escape and go eat out or eat whatever free food is in the lunch room.

I don't work outside the home, but I used to pack lunches for my partner all the time. Now she doesn't care much to have a meal when she's working, so she just takes snacks, like baggies of chips or Clif bars.  :)

Generally pack a lunch. There's a deli in my building that is ok (not great) and I typically buy food from there once or twice a week. Maybe I'll order delivery around once a week too, but other days, I typically bring a frozen meal to save calories and money.
