Lunch

How much do you guys and gals spend a week on lunch? how many pack their lunch?

**86 IROC-Z** · 12-13-2009, 11:51 AM

I eat at home.

But every now and then I'll grab a chick-fil-a meal on campus.

I usually go to Potbelly's or Chipotle M-TR. I would guess on average $40 a week.

I have been taking my lunch every now and again lately. I usually like to get out of the office though. Shit gets expensive though.

If you can eat lunch for 40 a week, you are doing alright imo. I've fell in the trap of spending 10 bucks a day eating on the job at times. Starting my new job tommorow and me being broke, I will be brown bagging it for awhile i think lol

I use to get $5 foot longs, make it last two days.

I use to go out for lunch everyday and would spend 50 bucks a week. Seemed kinda dumb, so i started buying shit at the store for the week. I spend 10- 15 bucks a week now.

Brown bagging it definitely isn't bad at all that's for sure. You get about twice the amount of food for about half the price

I usually get a couple free lunches here and there from vendors and my boss so that helps some.

I really can't believe that going to somewhere like Potbelly's you can spend $15 on lunch. Shit, my $40 might be a little conservative now that I think about it.

I always put it on an Amazon card so I get points. I could look as it segregates it for me, but I'd be afraid to

10 dollars?? You going to restaurants for lunch brah? Get fast food, or if you wanna be healthy, subway. Each shouldn't cost more than 5 bucks.

4lb jar of peanut butter: $5.99
2 loaves of bread: $3.98

Lasts: a long ass time

fast food in this area when you finally pay up always comes out to like 7 bucks. Then you throw in drinkin a few sodas in the shop a day, easily 10 bucks. Hence my brown baggin it from now on. Its ridiculous to spend 200 bucks a month in fucking lunch imo.

**86 IROC-Z** · 12-13-2009, 12:26 PM

What I do is buy a 1 liter Dasani bottle of water, and then just keep refilling that for a few weeks until the bottle wears out and I buy another.

I can eat for under 50 bucks a month.

No one likes to eat Ramen noodles 3 times a day, 7 days a week

**Transamws6** · 12-13-2009, 12:42 PM

$0 Monday-Friday on lunch, I will never eat the slop they serve at this school, I only eat one meal a day on weekdays.

**Zapper2003** · 12-13-2009, 12:46 PM

Actually, not eating lunch is the cheapest route, but thats tough to do when you got a mandatory 30-60 minute lunch. I eat lunch generally in under 10-15 minutes when I'm working, and never have a set time that I take lunch. But, you're into that fitness shit so you eat on a damn schedule and eat right

. Here's some advice...

Avoid fast food for the better part of a year, then hit up a FF joint. You'll shit your brains out for the rest of the day. Don't ask me how I know.

I buy my lunch stuff at a discount place down the street from me... They have a lot of good stuff at 1/4 the cost. Nothing is wrong with the stuff... I can get digiorno pizza's for 1.99... you will pay close to 8 bucks for the same pizza at the supermarket.

**Zapper2003** · 12-13-2009, 12:53 PM

Aldi's?

**Brian H Drifer** · 12-13-2009, 12:55 PM

place is called D&K

**Smkn_TA** · 12-13-2009, 01:39 PM

I got a nice lunch box. Put racing stickers all over it. Usually take those "meals in 90 seconds" or rahman, or can of soup, leftover pizza. Etc. But when I go to college during the day, I eat out every single day. About 50 a week.
