Just been thinking when reading one of the other threads, do you normally brown bag your lunch to work or eat/order out?

it's about half and half for me, actually the only time I bring something in is when my mom has leftovers and she brings me a bowl
I love working with my mom!!! I don't like having to go out and get something so I like the leftovers, not to mention it saves me money

I do a mix of both. Sometimes I just like to go get what I am craving other times I love what I ate the night before and could eat it for a week!

I bring something from home..since I do not take a lunch (I get off earlier) I just nibble on stuff during the day and then I eat lunch when I get home at 1:45pm...

I try to bring my lunch every day but that doesn't always work out. It's a lot easier for me to keep track of my weight watchers points when I make my own, of course!

I do like to supplement my lunch with take-out from where ever someone else is getting their food from. For example- I brought a turkey sandwich today & some other stuff but I'm also getting a wonton soup from the chinese place my mom is getting her lunch from.

Best of both worlds!

i usually 'bring' mine. actually, i have supplies here to make my lunch, so i don't have to bring something everyday. occasionally, a group of us will order out. & sometimes we'll make soup as a group, during the winter.

I always go home to eat lunch- it's right down the road and it saves sooooo much money compared to what i'd spend eating out every day. I could never justify spending $$$ to eat out every day of the week. Usually the things I cook at home are better for me than the things I would get at a fast food resturant anyways

I normaly take some lunch to work. I have to make Michaela's lunch anyway so i do some for myself too.
I had a school dinner once, never again,
i think i would rather starve and Michaela will continue taking her packed lunches til she leaves

I will start coming home though soon anyway to check on the kittens when they are born.

I eat dinner at work (I work 4pm until either 11pm or 12am) but I don't bring it or buy it. I work at Subway and get all my meals for free.

I miss working in restuarants...so convenient!

I bring almost everyday. When I plan the menu/food shopping for the week...I stress much more about what I'm bringing for lunch than what I'll be having for dinner! I don't like boring lunches either, like a plain sandwich on non-descript bread...so it is a real challenge to come up with interesting stuff all the time.

I make/bring a lot of soup. I had veg. chili today. I'll have tuna casserole tomorrow...and probably just cereal or peanut butter toast for dinner this week

A mix. I keep a stash of lunch makings in the fridge here, and most days I put something together. But sometimes a bunch goes out, sometimes someone is getting takeout and I get them to bring something, sometimes there are leftovers in the staff lounge from a weekend meeting (like today -- the pasta was REALLY good!).

The only reason "Bring my lunch, eat it by 9:30 am, then have to go out to get something else" dosen't apply to me is that I also bring my breakfast to work !!!!!

I do both..alot of the time, I bring a lunch but don't feel like eating what I bring..and then go get something..For instance..today I brought lunch..but felt like chinese, so got chinese instead..


I try to only eat out on Fridays though...but it doesn't always work
