We do this fairly often. It's not *always* healthier though.

You don't *always* have to get the fried chicken...

Wait, there's other options?

But the secret herbs and spices!

I just don't eat out

I used to do this a lot before IGA closed.

Affordable lunches that wern't always deep fried was nice.

So I must the only one that, like, brown bags his lunch every day then fixes a meal from scratch. I always had a feeling I was 30yrs late.

I make a sandwich every day.

Your sex life doesn't count.

Hey, it's exercise!

At weddings, in a plane, or at my kid's preschool, sure. But NEVER in a grocery store.

Not really. Most of our stores feature a full service deli, bakery and coffee stand. There are some stores that have mini restaurants though. Target and Walmart, for instance, partner up with Pizza Hut, McDonald's and Subway

They seem to like closing the cafes in the shops around here. My (home) local closed it a couple of years ago, but the Oxford one is still going (last time I checked).
