If you work, how often do you eat lunch out?
I am trying to go just once a week. I had a bad few weeks I'm trying to make up for.

Rarely. Maybe... a couple times a month? Maybe!
We save money by packing lunches, so that's what we do. Even though I'd rather eat out every day.

Too much these days. Between pumping two sessions and work, grabbing something can be quicker. Once we move this week, I'm going to up my brown bag game since I'll have a kitchen again.

Like at a restaurant? Hardly ever. Maybe once a month.
I use the work cafeteria for at least 2 lunches a week.

5-6 week, sometimes I'll go out for lunch on my WAH day and we usually eat out for lunch once on the weekend.

Does the work cafeteria count? I eat there pretty often, but at least it's cheap. I usually get a salad that costs between $5 and $6. I really want to get better about bringing lunch, but I just never feel like cooking it on Sunday

Maybe once a month, if that? I've been here just over 3 months and have bought lunch 3x.

almost every day that I work if I'm not working at home, so 3-4 days/week. I don't have a kitchen/fridge, and I'm not technically supposed to eat at my desk (grad student so it's a library carrel).

Very very rarely. But I teach so it's a bit hard to leave for lunch. We get 30 minutes.

I treat myself every Friday by walking over to Whole Foods and either having a salad from the salad bar or a sandwich from their yummy sandwich counter.

I try not to at all unless we have no leftovers and no frozen food for me to bring. Then I usually get Wendy's or Chinese to stay on the cheap side!

2-3 times a month, I try to just do 2x but depending on how the week's go it can increase. I've been dieting lately so this really helps keep me eating my lunch that I bring.

Every day. But usually that's just to the little cafe in my office building. I don't have the time or energy to pack up a lunch to bring with me. I'd rather just spend the money.

Every day. I sit right by the copy machine so when I try to eat at my desk I have 10 people (including my boss) stopping by asking me what I'm eating and starting a whole conversation about it. Plus, I've done the math and I don't save a whole lot by bringing it in. Still have to buy extra food which is expensive.. Then if I forget it's double the price since it goes bad at home and I have to buy out anyway.

I waiver from every day to once or twice a week. It depends on if I am trying to save money for something or not. With the holidays approaching I cut back to 1-2 times a week to save money, however a few months ago I was going out every day b/c I wasn't "saving" for anything.

Very rarely. Maybe 6 times a year. I'd rather eat food I bring from home-I think it tastes better and it is healthier and cheaper!

Very rarely since we became a one income family. It forces to be more creative in terms of food to take places but it saves us tons of money!
