In college I usually buy lunch when I have three courses that make me live in campus for a day... I use the break in between to get something or study... Nowadays in state college, I just wait out until dinner because of no breaks in between and also commuting...

I bring a lunch to school and to work. It adds up pretty quickly if I bought it every day.

90% of the time I took my lunch and if I didn't have anything good to make a lunch out of and I could scrape up the $ I would buy lunch but I am so glad I don't work anymore so I have lunch at home.  It stinks being disabled but working stinks sometimes too so well anyway lol I eat lunch at home.

When I worked I always took lunch except when I forgot it then I bought it.
I pretty much live at work.  I eat lunch and dinner at work on most days.
I try to cook but do occassionally order pizza.

I always make lunch for my kids to take to school unless there is something super duper on the menu. I always try to make a hot re-heatable lunch for my husband also. Usually I cook a meal for all of us the night before and I try to make enough that there is some for my hubby. I realise that, on the downside, that means he is getting two meals that are the same in a 24 hour period but the alternative is going out to get some which takes time out of his day and also means spending more money.

I live real close to work so I go home for lunch.  I usually don't eat lunch, though.  I do keep snacks in my desk for those hunger moments.
Have a wonderful day!

I always brought from home because its to expensive to buy at work.

Very true. I am so bad about planning lunches and get easily distracted by yummier food items at work.

I haven't worked for the past several years as I am currently taking care of my elderly parents.  But when I did, I always took my lunch to work.  I saved lots of money by doing that and nowadays it's even more expensive to eat out so I would still be taking my lunch to work today if I was working.

Eating out everyday for lunch is too expensive. Plus, I'm often so busy I have a hard time prying myself away from my desk. I eat maybe 1 to 3 times a week, but otherwise I generally try to bring something from home - usually leftover, a TV dinner or a substitute nutritional drink.

I bring my lunch. Not only is it cheaper, but the cafeteria is closed for second and third shifts, so I'd have to either go to pick up something, or get it delivered. Much easier just to bring my own lunch. Once in a great while my co-workers and I will order out, for a treat, usually pizza or something.

I usually pack something for lunch but I work near so many restaurants and sometimes I give in and buy something and eat my lunch for dinner. I wish I could break that habit because I'm spending unnecessary money.

I only buy lunch if I don't bring any lunch to work. Plus it saves me money bringing my own lunch to work. =)
