live with my parents and still go to school
i buy lunch occasionally when i get sick of my mom's cooking...my dad can't cook for beans so i dont even bother trying what he makes.

i work at a learning center for kids after class and they have snacktime so i always get an order of snack for myself, it isn't much but hey free food!

[little mixed girl]

it's currently a split for me.
making food is really...time consuming.
i usually buy lunch at a supermarket called spark or buy it at 7-11.
if i buy it at spark, i usually pay about $5-$6. the lunch is $3, the yogurt is $1 and my tea is $1.

dinner, i tend to eat frozen foods haha...

[Mr. Chan]

I spend a good 1.39 cents a day on wendy's baked potato when I'm at school.

[imurdanny]

breakfast- -$5
lunch- $8-10
dinner- $8-10

[kpxkimcheexyoja]

haha i take a nap on my lunch! cheapest lunch ever! i'll usually eat when i get home cuz i gotta make dinner for the ball and chain! he, on the other hand will eat fast food whenever the mood strikes!

[blu3bubbl3]

i don't brown paper bag it, i tupper ware it yeah i think 90% of the time i bring my own lunch. if i forget or there's no food from home to bring, i'll buy but since i work in ctown it's mad cheap.

[bomjit]

Majority of the time i bring my own food to work eg sandwiches or homecooked noodles/rice/pasta, only treat myself once or twice a fortnight.
But yeah, saves me a heap of money that way.

I brown bag it and go out for lunch too. On days when the dinner that my mom makes is extra yummy, I will pack some for lunch or when I feel like cooking for myself, or when I ask my dad to make me a sandwich (yes, my dad still makes sandwiches for me and I'm 23 ). The days when I have no lunch I will buy lunch, but max I will spend for lunch is about $10.

i haven't packed my lunch (or my mom hasn't packed my lunch for me...) since I was in middle school. There is just something about buying food wherever you are at the moment, and not to mention the VARIETY, especially for me. My school has an au bon pain soup section and it has a different kind of soup everyday. I love that, and I know I wouldn't be able to take the time to make ALL those soups. Plus my school actually has a fresh salad bar (they change it up every couple of hours) so I just take whatever is there. Cold pasta, fresh veggies and a hot soup is what I love to eat for dinner. Lunch, it's mostly beans, hummus and sometimes a baked potato. Nothing too expensive or extravagant.

Right out of college I used to be more frugal spending about $200 a month on food, but now a year later that almost doubled.

[<3goesDOKIDOKI]

i cook and bring my own lunches.
to save money anddd because there are no good restaurants around and only fast food

[heart[killer]]

we have to bring lunches with us because if you dont have a car theres nothing near by you can walk to.

hmmm First week of school I ate out the entire school week... cost total:25 bucks xD I forgot to make food ...

the 2nd week of school I made food: but my family ate it x_X.

Nothing is going so well, I buy grocerys for the household, make food and they eat everything X_X geez... how am I suppose to calculate how much I spend for myself.... D=

I'll try again... but I think it's cheaper for me to eat out.. (if I wanted to be a cheapo LOL I can just eat $1.07 spicy chicken sandwich from Carl's Jr.

[AngieK]

Leftovers...FTW!

Saves money too =)

LOL...sorry your lunch experiment was a fail, but if you can eat out for that cheap, then it's no big loss.

[Searesrayne]

lawl i'll try again... I just have to start hiding the food I cook for myself ^___~.

[love.lila]

breakfast - coffee from a random coffee stand T-T $5
lunch - free at work or rice and seaweed T-T sometimes an avocado with that
dinner - dinner at work or rice... or ramen...

randomly switch the meals around for different days... like coffee for lunch.... rice for breakfast. or cereal.. afghh i need to work on being healthy and cooking >.<

[baoi]

my schedule

Breakfast: Skip
Lunch: Dunkin Dounuts Bagel + Cream Cheese = $3
Dinner: Go out = $10-20

[wowastyle]

when I lived by myself, I used to get take-out instead of brown bagging it.
now, I live at home with my parents, I'm more likely to bring in food, but I haven't recently since my parents haven't bought any chicken. I eat out a lot still.

[kdawg2k]

Lunch time baller. I know it's bad, but i want to change this habit of mine. I'm developing an interest in cooking and would like to start bringing/making my meals more often.
