Lunch at work

[melodylogan45]

Do you spend a lot of money on going out for lunch at work or do you pack a lunch everyday and bring it to work. I only get a half a hour for lunch, so I bring my lunch everyday, plus I save money by doing that too.

I dont work, so I will answer this when I did, I had an hours lunch so I would drive home, because Id have to let the dogs out to pee, and would grab something from home and eat it on my drive back to work

I work at a restaurant so I usually just eat something there.

I usually, have a big breakfast and something lite for lunch.

When I did work, I packed a lunch, usually a homemade salad filled with greens, vegetables, and leftover meats from last night's dinner.  I saved money, and co-workers often asked me where I bought my great looking salad!

[sfreeman8]

I did both. It just depended on what was leftover from last night and/or what kind of mood I was in. A lot of us would take turns ordering from local places and then go pick up the order.

When my son worked at Long John Silver's, i used to get a lot of their salads. They were delicious. The girls had seen it one day and next thing you know, I was ordering 4 or more of them for the girls. I sometimes wonder if  LJS questioned the big jump in salads at lunch. LOL

I mostly pack one: the cafeteria options are ok at best and it's too expensive to order delivery in my area.

I work from home so I prepare everything from home

I usually just eat at home when I am on lunch break. I have an hour of lunch so that was good because I live about 5 minutes from where I work. I usually either make a quick hot sandwich or sometimes just leftovers. Some days I would just grave Chinese so I just go to Shanghai Restaurant for lunch.

I work in a place that serves food .. but most of the time I bring something to snack on .. you can only each so much fried food .. LOL

Before our department moved to a different building, we had a great break room that had a couple of large fridges, a few microwaves, coffee maker, and some vending machines. So back then since I could store my food in the fridge, I'd typically pack a lunch. However now our break room just has tables to eat on; we even have to walk elsewhere in order to use a microwave and there's no place to keep your food cold. So now I usually eat at the cafeteria at work... Not my favorite, esp. considering that the food tends to be pretty bland (a fault I've come to expect here in MN) not to mention more fattening than what I make at home. However I did pick up a dorm fridge at a garage sale, so I'm planning to bring that into my office so that I can pack my lunches once again.

I like lean pockets or banquet/michelina microwave entries for workday lunch.

I eat lunch at work because I'm home.
