I goout/buy lunch maybe once a month. Otherwise I bring leftovers or buy frozen food at Trader Joe’s that lasts a whole week.

In all seriousness. I’ve been buying frozen dinners on sale at the market a few blocks away from work and stocking up the work freezer. This weeks sale was on The South Beach Diet dinners. They were actually pretty good. But really small portions :-(

I’m bringing my lunch more, or opting for lunches like 2 empanadas at Tina’s or patties at Golden Krust. I gotta start saving up for expensive holiday airplane tickets!

I love how you disregard the fact that I haven’t even lunched with Brownie in about three weeks now, and her and I have a little joint venture if you didn’t know.

Where’s the Doc?!!

I need to know if there’s a 1 in 4 chance that guy in the fountain has infectious herpes. That’s where I fill my goddam Nalgene bottle!

I’ve almost exclusively brown-bagged my lunch for the last eight weeks… and I’ve lost 10 pounds in the process. When I splurge, it’s on the Gray’s Papaya recession special, a slice of pizza, soup from outside, and when I’m really too busy to prep a lunch Subway is probably the most reasonably caloric/cost option in the Garment District. I used to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner out nearly every workday, and now I’m cooking all three.

I try to bring lunch 1-2 times per week. When I eat out, I bring my own bottled water (savings of $1.50 to $2) and try not to spend more than $10.

Buying $5 footlongs at Subway, putting half in the company fridge for the next day. This is also helping with diet considerations, as I leave off the cheese, dressing, and other greasy stuff.
