GREENOJOS Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Do you guys go out to eat for lunch or do you bring your lunch with you? What about snacks to get you through the day? Personally, I go out to eat with some associates everyday and spend on average about $5-6 dollars per meal. One day out of the week we might go to a more expensive place, where it's like $10 bucks for a plate. As far as snacks go, I get about 2 dr.peppers throughout the day to get by and make work more enjoyable. So the question is this, do you believe it's worth the extra money to go out an eat and get those little snacks to make your work day more enjoyable or would you rather save the money for something else? I can't really decide, I would like to save the money, but on the other hand I got to have my fix. ps- i like going out to eat for lunch as opposed to bringing it because i'm lazy and i'd rather get something that's fast and hot, from a fast food place rather than bringing a sacked lunch from home.

BlistaCompact Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Eveything is relative. It all depends on how much you make and if the loot-to-happyness ratio is enough, spend the extra cash for food, if not don't. Also, if you are fat dont waste money to make you even fatter. And in response to your first question, I bring my lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Sometimes the old lady will make food for me to bring, but most times I just order from the japanese place down the street. We're on a first name basis. As far as snacks, I'm on a dried fruit kick now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnomeToys Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Ha. I'm a chef, here's what I ate at work today (small bowls of each). We're required to taste all food being served, so this is part of my job description. 1) Lamb curry 2) Cabbage curry 3) Indian style black eyed peas 4) Zucchini souffle 5) Hickory smoked turkey with a tomato cream sauce 6) Half a chimichanga 7) Artichoke hearts with lemon butter & coriander 8) Roasted pork in a teriyaki sauce 9) Some kind of pork pepper stuffing last week I had some minted chocolate creme brulee, lamb vindaloo, a banana vanilla milkshake with white truffle oil, and a piece of marinated blackened veal, among other things. I love my fucking job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DITDxCULT Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I always bring my lunch to work. Most of the time I bring salads, indian food, quorn, and random left overs. Lately I've been on a noodle bowl kick. Whole Foods has a good selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt45oe800 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I used to live off the Roman, and was ghetto chef extroidenare and added salad dressing to spice it up. but nowadays i usually eat 1 meal from home and 1 out. It's cheaper to eat breakfast out, then lunch. Coffee helps speed up the morning and get rid of some hunger. It's really F-ing boring eating cereal every morning and then eating your pre-packed wich. but damn does it save a boat load of money. i figure around $60 a week. which is a new set of kicks. *spelling and grammatics but i'm not fixing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 First of all. What the hell is a crumpet? Second off I now bring my lunch realizing that I was spending about $60+ a weel on food. I went shopping and got 2 weeks worth of lunch and snack food for about $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblow Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I buy my lunch everyday. Food from home is fucking boring as i'm too lazy to do anything other than sandwiches and leftovers from dinner always get snapped up before i can get to them. So i usually go to the coffee shop at work to get a nice healthy sandwich, or go to one of the fast food places around work. For snacks, i buy countless cans of drink and packets of chips from the machine 2 metres away. I don't like to think about how much i spend each week.
