do you go out for lunch or bring your own food at the office?

well since i don't work, i could imagine my word being where i am at an office, very social, eating my lunch with my co-workers, with nothing but a home cooked meal. uhhhhhh.... check out my blog Http://claimaccount.blgospot.com

I, myself, work a little bit away from Eastwood City. I go to Eastwood almost everyday during weekdays. Simply because I work out at Fitness First in Eastwood City as well. It is true that Eastwood is the place where you would find great and known restaurants and fast food establishments. It is the place where the celebrities hang out during weekends as well. And it is the place where thousands of people work everyday. It is a small New York City, having both leisure and business in one place. And being a busy place most of the time, people need to eat. You would have a lot of choices in Eastwood City. From fast food chains to the expensive restaurants. You name it, it would be there. Now, having said that, I rather choose to bring my own lunch and dinner to work. Well, actually just dinner. You see, I work from three in the afternoon till midnight. So I just bring food for dinner most of the time. It is more convenient and most of all less expensive. When I don't have food with me you see, I end up spending hundreds of my hard-earned money on food alone. That is why, I always try to bring my own food with me to work. Except on fridays though. =)

Usually I have lunch at a cafe or canteen near my place. These places are cheaper than restaurants. The food's reasonably good as well and there's a wide variety of stuff I can eat. I don't bring along my food from home because it might go bad in our really warm weather. Sometimes, if I am lucky, I might actually be able to lunch at home. That's best because I tend to like home cooked food a lot.

I used to bring my own lunch to save money on lunches when my mom lived with me, because she would be the one who cooked dinner and then I would bring a portion to work the next day. Since my mom doesn't live with me now and I don't usually cook dinner for myself, I would go out to eat or buy takeouts to eat back in the office. I think it's really a hassle to go out and strive for a seat during lunch hours. I prefer to bring lunch to work, in that way, I could eat comfortably in my own seat and browse the internet during that time.

Sometimes, I bring my own food whether I cook it by mself at home or buy from a fastfood shop/nearest cafe serving meals and with their own specialty like dimsum. The other option is patronizing our own company's cafe which also serves meals. Budgetwise, it costs less to prepare food at home & bring it in the office than buying it from a food shop. When I am concerned with my budget I prepare my own food, and sometimes, I give myself a treat by buying a favorite food and indulge :)

I always go out for lunch. coz i dont have tiome to prepare my foods however, since i need to save i might bring food in the office sometimes which I really doubt if I'll be able to do it :)

when i was still working, i always bring food to lunch. i ate in the place where i work. i wanna save money like you plus, i hate going out during lunch because of the very sunny weather. i am okey with lunch at work. most people do this these days. and it's fun to eat with other co-workers. we sometimes even share the food we have. and then, have some chats before getting back to our posts... anne

if i have time to prepare something to bring to the office, then i bring lunch. but most of the time, i just go out and buy lunch, take it back to the office and eat it there.

I used to take my lunch outside the office or buy my food and eat it in the office. But now that i have my own home and going solo, i bring my food for lunch with me to save. lol.. It's kinda spending much when you always go out or buy foods.

i cooked every morning for my lunch and brings it to office in tubberware.its more healthy,cheep compare with food outside,beside i can cooked my favorite foods.sometimes food outside are not delicious enough to open my appetite,i rather woke up early a bit prepared for my daily meals.

hey kababayan! I too do the same. I bring food in the office, it's difficult to include meals in our budget. It would better if you just bring food than always buy in fastfood or restaurants. And besides there are not much restaurants that offer vegetarian food in our place that's why it's difficult to rely on these food chains, I'll just get hungry =)

Having healthy food is my priority. I usually prepare my lunch before i leave for office. I get up early to prepare my food, at times if i get up late or i have some other problem then i go out to buy my food . But i make sure to make one meal at home & enjoy it.

I bring my food from home. I think rather than buying outside foods everyday it is cheaper and far more hygeinic to eat homemade foods.

hmm.. i prefer to make my own meal n bring it to the office.. it's more cheap, more healthy, more safe... =)

bring lunch always to save money and time...since offices this time have pantry with microwave and sometimes with ref. so very convenient already that we can reheat or put foods in fridge. eating out only on occasions or during days we can get our pay checks. making yourself eating healthy foods as well by preparing it personally that grabbing out from Fastfoods which are always FATFOODS.

When i was working before i do not bring my own lunch since i leave alone and i got no time to prepare my food in the morning. We have a company canteen where i eat my breakfast and lunch. It is ok since the food were not budget friendly. Also, i do not spend much on food since i got many lunch invitations then.

wow 51 responses! That's a lot already. =) here's for the 52nd response: I go out for lunch with my officemates.. I do want to bring my own food though, but I don't have the time to cook coz I have so many things to do, and I'm only living on my own right now. So..that's it.

Most of the time bring foods to work because i don't like to eat outside everyday .But once in a while i would like to eat outside .

I almost always bring my lunch to the office with me. Some days, I will go out to eat, but it is really expensive to do that too often.

Sometimes I go out for luch with my officemates but often times I bought food in our pantry though its not advisable, If I have time to prepare food at home I also bring my own food in the office.
