Do you prepare lunch box for work?

Oh,i do not need to worry about it ,cause i work in a factory, and there is small store in it,providing all kinds of food .And the food is delicious and healthy . I want to mention the important point is that we are offered free dinner and apartment !

I usually bring my own lunch, something simple like a sandwich or a can of soup. Or a TV dinner. Lunch at my work is $4 and it's not worth it.

This is good habit to prepare lunch box at home and take to the working place. This causes to save the money and also care the health, as you told. But it requires punctuality. We need to do it well in time. Cooking before leaving for office. Putting in the Tiffin and arranging the packing. All this is time absorbing. On other hands we can get food from fast food shops very easily in cost of some pennies. It means we pay lot of exercise and time to the dish or dishes us taking out of the home for our office and bringing the empty lunch box or boxes back at home. This makes tough to go and come back from your working place. There fore I suggest that it is better to take your lunch at the moment when you come back to your home.

hii,kaka! we are the same...i used to have lunch at some fastfood resturant near my office but recently i have decided to cook myself and enjoy it more and more..so why not prepare my lunch and bring it to office since we've also had a microwave there? haha...its healthier and cheaper!...but actually i didn't do it every day because sometimes i'm too busy to cook on the last day.....have a nice day and happy mylotting!

well nice discussion...well it depends upon my college timing and well i have full day definitely i will prepare my lunch box...if i have half day i will not prepare the lunch box...

Cooking is a hobby for me.In free time i used to do lot of experiments.But i hate tiffin food.In my school days i had a lunch box with me everyday and u know the food in that tight box with a particular taste that i still dont like to remember.

I really do enjoy preparing my own food. However i don't work. So, I don't take my food anywhere. Unless I decided to take my kids to the park to eat. I do that for time to time. They are always enjoy doing that.

I almost always bring my own lunch to work. As you said, it saves money and it's better for you. There are quite a few places I could go to eat around here but I'd be broke, fatter and not as healthy. Lunches don't have to be extravagant, just enough to get you through the day. I also pack my husband's lunches too. I was in the habit of doing it at night, but for some reason I got out of that and have been doing it in the morning.

yes always prepare a lunch, it's too expensive to eat lunch out everyday and those convenience machines are just complete rip offs they charge way more than they should but that's how they make money right, I like going to bjs wholesale club they have nice big packages of things I usually take sandwiches with me and a snack or two, saves money!

Sometimes I pepare a snack and other times I eat out...today I wish I had prepared something because right now I am really, really hungry and didn't take the time to pick up some lunch and the public bueses are on strike...I will just chew some gum until time to leave work

Actually I bring breakfast and lunch. We usually arrive 30 to 45 minutes prior to opening giving us time to clean up and prepare for the day. I bring my breakfast and eat during that time. I have to eat due to sugar issues. This week I brought tabouli, cheese and soup for lunch. I do try to eat healthy things. I keep healthy snacks in a cabinet in my office too. You will find other things as my hubby needs a little something now and again and I learned long ago to keep something on hand in case a customer needs something in a hurry. It's just my husband and myself so I can't really go out. We could close an hour for lunch like many auto repair shops but he seldom eats lunch. So it's easier and more economical to bring my lunch.

Yes, your right. Preparing foods at home and taking it with you is much better. I also prepare the nite before. I dont have use of a micro to re heat but i do own some thermos. I perfer sandwiches so gotta have some bread baked.

I always fix lunch and take it to work. The food is much healthier and it is much less expensive to prepare it yourself. I work in a mall so my only options are fast food. Quite expensive to do every day and very unhealthy.

Hello my friend kaka135 ZJi, You are very much right, our elder son is carrying his lonch box since his school days and even he has grown at least six yrs more than of your age, whereas his younger brother never carried, however, recently, because of his wife carrying due to healthy food, both are carrying. It has all added qualities as Lunch is prepared at home by relations or self. may God bless you and have a great time.

yes, I always prepare my lunch box to office. As you say, its both healthy and cheap. However, on some days its quite inconvenient too. My office is located in a residential area and there are no regular eateries around. So its more of a compulsion than anything else. Previously the office was located in a business area and on days when I did not feel like bringing from home, the options were both cheap and plenty. I cook in the morning (too tired in the evening) so I bring the food fresh. What do you usually carry as lunch?

I prepare lunch for me my husband and my children. I have found too that it is so much more less costly than purchasing lunch everyday. Whatever is for dinner the night before becomes lunch or I wake early the morning and do the cooking.

as much as i would like to pack my lunch box everyday i would like to but this happens really seldom for we don't cook foor early in the morning and i am to lazy to cook. LOL. i know having a packed lunch would really help alot for me save money and effort of going to and from the foodcourt but there are challenges. LOL. what is good is that i eat lunch at home every MWF so i can save a lot too...

No, I never prepare lunch box coz I don't know how to cook. I only cook noodles or porridge for my supper and that can't be brought to work, lol. My company has budget for our lunch and if we don't eat in the company canteen, the money in our card is wasted. So I have to eat in the company to save money, lol. To cook food at home is really healthy and I hope I can learn to cook some simple dishes in the future, so that I can eat out less.

Before I came a mum I always prepared lunches for work, it is cheaper and you always have what you fancy. Sometimes you can go into a place near work and not find what you fancy. I get bored with sandwiches every day so I often do rice or pasta dishes wich are also good cold. Soup is also a good one, although I have to say I do not make it myself, but just take packets or sachets occasionally. fruit is also filling and raw veg with hoummus.

I agree that bringing our own lunch box to work is a good way to save cost and the most important thing is that we know exactly how clean our food is. If we were to eat at the restaurants or cafe, we have to pay a high price for something that we could have cooked in the house. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the food and its preparation is something that is beyond our control. Imagine that the front part of the restaurant looks nice but we do not know how the kitchen is. How do we ensure that the food is prepared as clean as possible? how do we ensure that the cook wash his or her hand after using the toilets or the restrooms? How do you know that the cook and any of the worker is not well on that day and they are the one who prepared the food. Due to the above, my wife have decided to prepare lunch box for me everyday and now we find it much better in term of cost although the health part is hard to measure though. However, knowing that we prepared our own food is good enough. I am enjoying my lunch box now as my wife would make sure that she would have something different everyday and that is amazing! Cheers!
