If so, is it for health reasons, finances or logistics?

I pack mine for logistics and finances: it's a pain for me to get away for anything decent and being HEBREW I'm too cheap.

I used to buy 2 meals at work and like 3 coffees. I added it all up, over $100 a week. I now bring my food and coffee. Saves me so much time and money. Now I probably spend $20 a week and don't have to wait in line. I know people are big on those lunches with co workers, but fuck that. Whats the point in working so you can buy food for work?

I just steal food from the work fridge. (No Hebrew)

I am bad and spend stupid money on lunch each week.

I work in demolition. It saves time to bring your lunch when working long hours.

I pack my own food. I also fill my own bottles with water. Paying for water is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.
I got into the habit of taking leftover dinner to work the next day, always get a good meal that way.

I would drop a couple grand on a good piece of equipment and never say a word, but I would beat my own ass for spending $1 on a bottle of water. I hate wasting money.

When dieting, yes..... just no other options.

Otherwise, theres a place that's 2 minutes away with huge, delicious pizza slices for $5. I've gotten it +100 times, and the thought of it still makes my mouth water.

A real bodybuilder gets free lunch because its paid for by a schome.

Same here. I just spent almost 4,000 on a new kayak, but wont go to a bar tonight to waste 20 bucks.The kayak comes with a lifetime warranty. The beer I just piss out.

Got a fridge in the van. Get a toilet and I could just move in and live there.

Yes, sounds great, but do you have a river to park it near?

beakdoctor · « **Reply #12 on:** October 11, 2013, 08:01:05 AM »

pack my own. finances primarily. even 6 bucks a day adds up to 30 a week, 120 a month, 1440.0 a year. Grocery costs remain the same wether I pack lunch or not.

Maybe. That's a little more information than I'm willing to just put out there.

No I don't. I have a good paying job and get reimbursed for meals.

Outed, you park that thing next to a culvert. You don't even have enough gas money to get to a real river, pathetic.

Absolutely pack meals in a small cooler. Usually i have 2 meals packed and a shake. I see other people plop down $10 a day for lunch/water. That's a freaking car payment when you look at it monthly. I'd rather be healthy and save money. (Yes Hebrew)

I take 8 oz baked garlic and herb chicken with some potatos or rice every day.

easy to microwave and tasty.

Right now I'm packing lunch to save money and have better quality food. Although I do buy my breakfast at work each morning. The cafe knows me....every morning 9-10 egg whites in a cup for $2. If I don't pack lunch they know me then too. Double grilled chicken and a cup of rice.....$4.

I keep tuna and oatmeal at work year round for in betweens.
