Do you pack lunch to work?

It's my single biggest money saver. And it allows us to use up leftovers so I'm not throwing food out (a huge pet peeve of mine). But I find myself making things like hot dogs and beans just for the fun of it to enjoy. It really can make the work day better to enjoy that hour.

I always pack a lunch for work. I would rather do that than go out anyway. We do order in at work sometimes but then its a treat.

I take my lunch to work everyday. It is a pretty far walk from my building to a store or fast food place. Plus, it saves a ton of money and like you said I'm able to use of my leftovers too

I bring my lunch everyday. It saves a ton of money, and calories too! I would rather eat in the lounge and put my feet up for an hour than fight traffic!

Back when I was working, you bet we did - both DH and myself! Every single day. My DH still brings his when/if he can (leftovers, can of soup, whatever he can find in the house!).
