I'm usually the only one who brings their own.

My DH will eat 75% of a huge casserole. I tell him to save some so I have lunch but then I feel guilty that he is still hungry at dinner. He usually wins.

The places within walking distance aren't all that impressive! We did recently get a great food truck, but it's crazy expensive and only one of my co-workers goes there regularly. We're all Lean Cuisine addicts :p BSB on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-786316 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:38:22 +0000 BSB 786316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's about 50/50. I sometimes work 50+ hours a week and by the time I get home it's after 10pm. No time to make dinner so therefore no leftovers. I love cooking but I sometimes don't have time for it. I do try to cook over the weekends so I have leftovers. Also, I do buy canned food and soups and salads at grocery stores so that definitely saves me money. Oh, there is usually some department having a lunch meeting so if I don't have lunch, if I wait til about 1:30-2p, I can usually snag a plate. If not, I grab a can of soup or eat across the street at the cafe. doxielove on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-786283 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:29:35 +0000 doxielove 786283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most bring a lunch - except for the bosses. All the managers in my department eat out every day, no joke. I'd think that would get super expensive! mrskc on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-785986 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:11:59 +0000 mrskc 785986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Majority go out to eat everyday. I bring my lunch almost everyday except Fridays when I usually go out to eat with coworkers. Everything around our office is fast food or mexican restaurant so that is just too unhealthy for me to eat everyday.

I just never have leftovers. Basically I only have them if I make soup. I don't make "dishes" just meat and veggies for dinner 90% of the time.

Some bring, some buy. My previous team, all of them bought lunch every day. And they went to nice places to eat too. Ouch on the wallet.

We have four people participating so it works out to be about once a month that you have to buy. Each week is also themed. So this week is basic salad week: lettuce, veggies, croutons, viniagarette, etc. Other weeks are fruit salad, ethnic salad, and then the last week is "variety" where you can bring whatever the heck you want. I keep a fridge in my office already for pumping purposes, so we just keep all the supplies in my office. At lunch time, I set everything out on my extra desk in here and everyone helps themselves. Sometimes I'll heat up a soup to have along side it. We also have peanut butter, jelly, turkey, and bread in case people get bored and want a sandwich or something. regberadaisy on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-785880 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:54:25 +0000 regberadaisy 785880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrsjazz: hahahah awesome response. :) mrsjazz on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-785869 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:52:50 +0000 mrsjazz 785869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @highwire: What is salad club? Or is it like fight club and you can't tell us about it? :P When I was working it was half/half in my department. I was one of the people who brought my lunch most of the time. Way to expensive to buy lunch every day in Tribeca.

I always bring my own lunch. regberadaisy on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-785860 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:51:08 +0000 regberadaisy 785860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @highwire: oooh do tell. autumnlove on "Do your co-workers buy or bring lunch?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-co-workers-buy-or-bring-lunch#post-785858 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:50:27 +0000 autumnlove 785858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most of them buy lunch because they don't cook.

It's mind boggling to me that they *never* have leftovers!
