  • Both lol! I work at home, so I just go to the fridge and bring it back to my computer.

  • I used to eat out twice a week a year back but now, I almost always bring my lunch. For one, it's expensive to eat out. Two, home-cooked food is always healthier than what's available outside (that applies to India, at least). Three, I can eat a bagged lunch at my desk and then use the rest of the hour to go out for a walk, otherwise I get really sluggish in the late afternoon. But I try not eat out more than once a fortnight.

  • I bring my lunch pretty much everyday. We just don't have the money to spend on eating out right now. Besides we ALWAYS have leftovers so at least now they are getting eaten!

  • haha i am with Evansmom! i always SAY i am going to bring it and keep soup and stuff in my desk drawer, but it takes little more than someone stopping by and saying 'hey you wanna..." and i will be YES! becuase the break is soooo nice! and the food isnt bad either! we are lucky to have a huge selection of restruants near my office, both walking and short driving distance! makes it hard to stick to the 'eat at my desk' rule :)

  • I bring it most of the time. A.) We're trying to save money, B.) I'm trying to exercise on my lunch break and eating and exercise do not go well together, and C.) I like my cooking better than what's availble at work!

  • I bring it. I'm cheap & I don't like to go out in the cold weather.

  • I bring my lunch to work because I actually work through my lunch and breaks in order to leave work earlier. My employer is so laid back however, and if I do wish to run out for lunch, they are ok with it.

  • I always say I am going to bring my lunch, but then I forget with everything else I have to get ready it just doesnt seem to happen. Most of the time, I like getting out of this office anyway. $8-$10 well spent.
