Re: Who Packs Lunch
I pack leftovers when DH doesn't take them all. Or sometimes soup or a frozen lunch, like SmartOnes.

Re: Who Packs Lunch
If not a sandwhich, leftovers or a salad but that's really a spinoff of leftovers b/c I usually take the meat of the previous night's dinner and put it in the salad.

Re: Who Packs Lunch
Everyday! It saves us $$ as well from eating in the cafe at our offices.
I make wraps (ham & provolone, rb & swiss, chicken & american, turkey and american, etc). I add in some fruit that is in season, a handful of chips (mainly pretzels), and 3 cookies. We had 1-2 bottles of water in addition.

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I always pack my lunch...In the summer months, I do mostly homemade salads with grilled chicken or almonds...I may switch it up every other week & have a sandwich on a Friday.
DH takes 1 turkey & 1 PB sandwich daily...

Re: Who Packs Lunch
meee!!! I just can't afford to eat out, in my wallet or in my waistline.
I rarely bring sammies. I bring frozen meals, salads, chicken salad and crackers, egg salad, leftovers..... Sometimes I get lazy and bring cereal or oatmeal. But that is rare.

I bring lunch every day!
I usually bring leftovers (today was leftover chicken enchiladas!), healthy choice panini, salads (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, grilled chicken, & mozzarella cheese), turkey & swiss sandwiches, good old PBJ, or this week I'm trying the Lean Pockets wraps.
I also bring a bunch of snacks!
pretzels, 100 cal chips, or 100 cal popcorn
cheddar cheese squares (individually wrapped)
snap peas or carrots with either ranch or hummus
grapes
granola bar
some dove chocolate with almond candies

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I do most days. I only buy lunch 1-2 times per month.
Typical lunches:
1) Turkey sandwich, campbells soup at hand, baby carrots or pineapple cup
2) One of many lean cuisines or smart ones, which I've stocked up on when they are on sale, or I get at target. 100 calorie pack of something chocolaty for dessert, and hopefully a fruit or veggie.
3) leftovers, whatever they might be.
4) Tuna, if I actually prepare it the night before. (and carrots/pineapple cup/100 calorie pack)
5) soup and salad.

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I bring lunch everyday. I have no interest in spending $30+ a week going out and buying something everyday.
I bring either:
-grilled chicken w/ sliced avocado and fruit
-salad w/ grilled chicken mixed w/ nuts and fruit
-greek yogurt w/ fresh fruit
-tuna on whole wheat

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I probably won't be much of a help....I pathetically have PB&J EVERY day. It's like my comfort food and its just so easy to prepare- and cheap! I have a pear with it, and sometimes bring carrots as snack. Then again the girls at work bring in snacks too which doesn't help!
A friend of mine makes enough chicken salad or egg salad to go for a couple days- making that ahead of time should help!
Leftovers are good too...for some reason I can't have dinner food for lunch- I'm weird!

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I usually bring leftovers or make a salad. Sandwiches are rare. I also pack fresh fruit/veggies, yogurt. If I am feeling really lazy, I'll bring a can of soup.

Re: Who Packs Lunch
I bring my lunch every day too.
I either bring a WW or Lean Cuisine meal, a sandwich and a salad, or leftovers - depending on what I'm feeling like and if we have any leftovers!
It's funny - now on days when I don't bring my lunch and I need to go buy, it takes me forever to decide what I want!!!
