Title: Today is Brown Bag It Thursday!
Post by: snuggleycutejc on May 16, 2019, 09:31:28 am
Do you take your eats or the company gives you food at work? I had lunch break with a lady that told me she always made a bit extra dinner, than she took leftovers in the plastic containers, always a good lunch. I noticed the brown bags that I bought for the kids' lunches are tiny. I must have grown  :sweat:

No company I have ever worked for has given away food.  Unless it was some special something like at Christmas or something.  I have almost always taken my lunch.  I don't have any issues with that.  I have a couple of lunch bags though so I don't use the paper bags.  You are right though them "lunch bags" seem really really small.  They must be making them smaller these days haha

My last job only provided food if there was leftovers from a lunch meeting or event the previous day. Other than that, my current side hustle (murder mystery dinner theater) feeds us something from the venue either before or after the show.

We only had lunch if everyone brought something to share the company never did.

I use a plastic Kroger bag to bring my breakfast to work each morning.

I try to pack as much as I can but my lunch bag is only so big.  I'm out of town for work four days out of the week so it's hard to pack fresh food that will last that long.  I end up having to eat out at least once a week.  Sometimes I can make it stretch the entire four days.  That's my ultimate goal.

Sometimes I bring my lunch or just go out during break and pick up something really fast.

When I did work, it was always from my car and I ate fast food or stopped for dinner at a restaurant.

A place I use to work there are 2 little stores that have sandwiches and hot dogs and stuff like that.  One even has soups and chili a couple days a week.  They do really well.

If you had one of them lunch trailers and could get permission to be on site at some of the plants in your area you could probably make a killing.

I am retired so this is a topic I don't have to worry about anymore.  When I did work it was a mixture of brown bagging it and grabbing something quick out.  I tried to brown bag it the most because I had a family and tried to (needed to) stay on a budget.

I don't work anymore, but it sounds like a good idea.

I use to work at a restaurant so I always just ate there. It was my husbands cousins store so I could eat what I wanted. Now as far as my other jobs..nope, always brought my own lunch.  My husband works at G.E and Home Depot though and they are always feeding them at those places.
