Lunch - do you buy or do you bring baon?

Let's start a new discussion here friends; to all those who are already working in Australia, I ask this question: Do you buy food sa labas or nagbabaon kayo? If you buy food, how much does this usually cost you?

Dito kasi sa Singapore, food is relatively very cheap as compared to your salary... :) I think such is not the same in Australia though.

    To be practical at mas tipid mag baon ka. Puedeng gumawa ka ng sandwich o kaya magluto ka ng ulam with rice. You can bring also fruits like apple, orange or banana. Australian lagi may dalang fruits part ng meal. May pantry or may kitchen naman in every office. Puede mo i-microwave ang baon mo.

    Palagi ako bumibili ng lunch plus bottled water (mt. franklin or pump) it cost from $11 to $15
    Pero eto lang month na ito dahil may sasakyan na ako nakakatipid ako umuuwi ako minsan kapag lunch break,10 minutes drive from my office.

    11 to 15 per meal? ahahaha... mejo pricey nga, habbang dito sa Singapore, a good meal with drinks can set you back A$5.

    15*20 days = A$300; this is already a week's worth of rent more or less. It pays to be practical nga! :)

    Meron din naman mga tipid meals like sa McDo around $6. Ako 1st week ko bumibili ako sa labas. Usually $8, wraps yun na may chicken or beef. Pero after that lagi na ako nagbabaon para tipid.

    Microwaved food at A$6 is not bad at all... Pwede na yan! Although if bibila ka ng drink maging killer din ito diba? Eheheheh... :) Drinks starts at A$1.50 I think.

    @LokiJr, budget namin sa pagkain ng utol ko sa pagkain e 300AUD a month. so tig 150AUD kami. nagluluto kasi kami parehas..depende kung sino trip magluto. sya nagluluto mga sosyal na dish, mga italian, french foods ek ek. hehehe. ako yung pang masa.. tulad neto last saturday niluto ko adobong adidas (yum yum!). hehehe. so kumpleto na yun 300AUD,may kasama na fruits diyan at mga groceries, mga delata, canton. baked beans. so mas tipid talaga kung magluluto ka at magbabaon. Melbourne yan ah.. i'm not sure kung sa ibang city or state.

    We are a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids) and our groceries amount to approx $400~500 forthnightly here in NW Qld. So lumalabas $800~1000 per month ang groceries namin.

    anong kainan at san yan matatagpuan @icebreaker1928? nagbabaon din ako lagi, pero kung may ganyan na presyo pwede na magskip kahit paisa isang araw hehe

    namiss ko tuloy bigla mga hawkers sa sg, ganyan lang presyo ng mga mixed veggies
    I have come to accept the fact already that when I leave Singapore, a decent meal will no longer be this affordable... Kaya I am preparing myself by learning a new ulan every weekend!! ahahaha... :))
