Do you pack lunch for work or have fast food?
« 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 usually pack a lunch, but once in a while I'll have fast food.

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.
