Do you pack your lunch for work every day?  email this discussion to a friend?

I recently started a full time job where I only have a 30 minute lunch break so I don't have time to run anywhere to buy lunch, not that I would if I could because I'd hate to spend that much money each and every day just to buy lunch. That's a waste. Also, we're supposed to have a chance to eat lunch with the children in our classroom, but that gets hectic and just isn't as possible as they claim it is so I've started to pack my lunch.

So, I'm here to ask what you pack in your lunch. I've packed sandwiches, chips a drink and a snack since Wednesday and although I don't mind those items I know at some point I will tire of having the same old lunch. So, throw out some ideas! What do you pack for lunch? Leftovers? Whatever you can toss into a container?

I don't pack lunches for myself because I don't work, but my husband does & I pack him a lunch almost every day. Sometimes he likes to eat out on his lunch, but we found that this gets to be exspensive, so we started buying TV dinners that he can microwave in his breakroom at work. I will also throw in a small bag of Potato chips as well.

A lot of time I'll take leftovers from the night before. I also sometimes take Sandwiches or TV dinners.

My FAVORITE thing is Deli Creations hot sandwiches. I find them where the sandwich meat is, and its everything you need to make a hot sandwich in the microwave.

I pack my lunch, it is easier and a lot cheaper. The money I save goes right into savings.

I usually pack whatever I can get my hands on, LOL! Like you, I hate spending the extra money all the time to buy food when it's really just easier to bring it.

I tend to mostly bring sandwiches because they're something that are really fast and easy to make in the morning, but I tend to try to vary it a little bit and bring different sorts of sandwiches. I also sometimes bring leftovers and things like that. We had barbecue chicken bits left over the other night that I brought for lunch the next day.

Or, if you don't mind spending some amount of money, they do have microwaveable meals that I enjoy bringing once in a while. They cost about $2 a piece, so I don't bring them too often, but they're good to eat in-between the sandwiches when I just can't stand to look at them any more!

I also try to keep some peanuts, too, because if I eat a handful of those with lunch they tend to fill me right up so my stomach doesn't start making all sorts of funny noises throughout the rest of the day. ^_^

I everyday pack my lunch before i leave for work.My momma or my sister gets up early in the morning and prepares my breakfast and lunch.They do not let me go empty stomach because if your stomach is empty then you will not able to concentrate on your work.My mother knows that once i go to the office i will not eat anything.She takes great care of my health and does not let me eat food from outdoor because it is unhygienic.I love noodles,paratha and sandwith with i usually take for lunch but sometimes i take fried rice and biryani.

I've been on this diet for over 2 months, I have a sandwich, a piece of fruit and a couple of cups of cauliflower - I don't get bored easily with meals so long as they taste good and don't make me sick. One meal a day that's different - generally dinner, works for me. Oh, and I've lost about 20 lbs.

I used to, back in the corporate days. You can only eat the same fast food so many times before it looses its taste. Sometimes I would cook extra food so I could take it the next day. Brown bagging it saves you time and money, plus its nice to actually have 30 minutes for lunch instead of the 13 minutes you might get going someplace and waiting in line.

I don't bring my own lunch to work because I just don't have the time to pack food every day. I know that this compromises the nutrition that I get, but I try to choose healthy foods during lunch.

I think in the long run, this will save me a lots of money which i can use to invest and make more money.
