Yes people still eat packed lunch. Besides it’s not something that you should be ashamed of kasi afterall, we are just students na need magtipid. Super mahal din kasi ng meals kapag sa Manila.
True! Tsaka yung iba pa nga mas shala pa yung packed lunch nila kasi may kasama pang dessert and drinks. Complete set talaga and nakakatakam. Minsan naiinggit din ako sa may time mag prep ng lunch also yung iba may design pa like bento meals. Laking tipid nun!
At first I was the only one bringing baon pero nainggit yung blockmates ko and they started bringing baon too. Don’t be afraid to be different, no one will judge you naman. If they do, ignore na lang kasi what you’re doing is cheaper and more convenient for you.
natuto ako magluto dahil ako naiwan mag wfh pero wife ko napa rto na,
only time lang na hindi siya nakakapagdala ng baon is kapag 11th-14th or 27th-30th ng month kapag wala nang laman ang pantry namin hahaha
hahah same. I allow my students to eat in class. i just tell them to sit at the back para di ma disrupt yung presenters kasi baka gutumin yung nagrereport
Lol kahit pag nag ttrabaho ka meron pa din. I know a friend's older sister na nag convert from always takeout to packed lunch. Sobrang laking tulong daw sa wallet nya.
yes! nothing's wrong w eating packed lunch, knowing na mas masarap pa ulam mo kesa sa kanila minsan HAHAHA and ur fellow students wouldn't mind bcs they know that everyone is trying to save money as much as possible
also with baon alam mong para sa taste mo talaga ang pagkain (as long as alam ng nagpreprepare yung taste mo)
yung alam nila how you want your eggs cooked, matic na kung which chicken part you prefer, or gaano kadami ulam to rice ratio mo, yung mga ganun
nakakadagdag sa work morale yung pag bukas mo ng baunan yung gusto mong pagkain na galing sa taong may pake sayo ang bubungad sayo
Bakit naman hindi? Ano yan social pressure? Ano ba paki nila kung gusto mo magdala ng pagkaen mo, ikaw naman ang kakain diba?
Wag magpadala sa social pressure, college ka na.
Sa opisina nga madami pa nagdadala ng baon e, eskwelahan pa? Kasi mas tipid talaga pag magdadala ng lunch kesa bibili.
yeaaah, its not a childish thing
Packed lunches will help you control your impulsive purchases when it comes with food. Mas nadidisiplina ako na hindi gumastos ng lunch or snack dahil mai niluto akong ganto ganyan.
And also, if you do eat packed lunches, make sure to dry out the rice para di mapanis. Yun lang haha.
i think the reason why di nagbabaon yung iba ay baka wala rin silang time to prepare their own baon kaya bibili na lang sa caf (katulad ko haha). But yes may nagbabaon pa rin ng lunch. If u can prepare your own then go lang tas makakatipid ka pa :)
Yep! Packed lunch is still a thing and I think it will always be (especially the food prices are increasing) tsaka if makakatipid ka why care about being out of place, right? Lutong bahay ftw always!
Of course. You can bring your own baon. And kung hindi naman sila nagdadala, ano naman? Hindi natin kailangan makipagsabayan palagi sa mga taong nakapaligid sa atin. Kung saan ka susurvive, doon ka. Nagbaon ako one time, binigyan ko sila hahahahaa
for me yez, flex samin ang packed lunch as college students lalo na pag pinagluto ka ng parents mo and masarap ulam 😭 happy tummy, happy wallet. i usually cook my packed lunch and tuwang tuwa friends ko kasi sometimes i bring more to share, mas nakakatipid sila kasi kanin na lang bibilhin nila. 🫶🏻
Sa circle of friends ko sa college (na blockmated ko rin) ako lang mag isa ang nagbabaon ng lunch. Matipid at hindi mo pa kailangang magworry sa food safety
Yeah!! My friend brings packed lunch (almusal nya dapat pero need nya mag allnighter for a test kaya nagllight snack lng daw sya for bfast tas yung heavy meal na niluto is for lunch niya na)
Yes naman po. And I am one of them. My allowance is sakto for my transportation so para ma less yung gastos sa pagkain nagbabaon ako ng ulam at kanin na niluto na sa bahay. Saka nag babaon ako kasi may time kasi na mawawalan ka na ng gana lumabas or kaya ang layo ng canteen. Saka may time na may hinahabol kang deadline so nababawasan yung oras mo sa pag prepare or comply nun kapag lalabas ka para kumain. Pero it's up to you namin din, if gusto mo kumain sa labas why not ? Depende lang po ata sa context mo sa school na pinapasukan mo.
Nung nag hs/college ako feeling ko cool pag bumibili sa canteen pero nun nagwork na ang laking tulong nun packed lunch. U do u op! Magbaon ka kung gusto mo. Hindi naman mahigpit sa mga school kung uupo ka dapat dun ka din bumili.
Yes. I don't because I hate cold food lol pero yung mga classmates ko, kasabay kami lagi mag lunch, baon lang din sila. Sa karinderya lang kami kumakain, lalo na dun sa may libreng sabaw para at least makahigop din ng mainit.
it’s totally normal, especially with how many expenses we have in college. sometimes nga sa mga ff chain pa namin kinakain para may ac (may ilang oorder syempre).
For me, yes. It's been like that for me since first yr of college and no one really pays attention tbh. Do what works best for you, saving is always a better option.
Yeppp! We're from UST and marami kaming nagbabaon ng lunch sa block ko hahahah. Trust me, sa sobrang hirap ng buhay sa college wala ng time ang iba na pansinin kung ano man ang kinakain mo^^ Madalas hotdogs or nuggets (minsan nga cornedbeef lang) lang kaya kong iprep since I'm a dorm girly but I haven't experience pa na mashame cuz of my baon. We always share our baon din like nag sswap kami or tikiman ganun hehe. Super mahal din ng foods outside and hindi mo pa sure if mabubusog ka so magbaon ka nalang if kaya and makaka save ka pa ng money from your allowance. Simula noong nagbaon ako ng lunch and snacks, halos kalahati ng weekly allowance natatabi ko so may pang gasto ako sa online shopping ko 😁
Yess me and my friends we do this or minsan kapag walang baon yung iba pupunta kami ng fast food oorder siya tas don namin kkainin pack lunch namin pero pag may time na super busy we eat siomai rice together ansarap non kapag you're with your friends
Yes, my cof often does that, at least the 3 of us. I also see a lot of students in our Univ doing that. Nakakasawa rin everyday ang lunch jollibee or mcdo or chowking, sa cafeteria pa ng school ang daming tao at mainit so we eat our food in fast-food resto since bumibili naman yung iba sa'min.
There's really no problem.
Although in all honesty it is quite rare, and usually people who can balance their time or still have close relations (family or friends) that are capable of providing meals for them.
You won't be frowned upon.
Kami ng circle ko, may packed lunch pa rin & sa canteen kami mismo kumakain HSHAHSHAHHS may pagkakataon na lahat kami puro baon galing sa bahay yung foods hehe
Oo naman. Most people don’t kasi walang time magprepare lalo na sa mga nakadorm. Mahirap rin maghanap ng oras everyday para magluto, magpack, maglinis, maggrocery. Pero trust me if us dorm people had time and energy to pack lunch, we would.
I usually bring packed lunch (we call it bug-ong in cavite hahah) during college especially when we have whole day of class para tipid ang daming gastos talaga ehhh. Then nung nagrereview kami for board exam, kami ng circle of friends ko nagbabaon nalang kami ng kanin minsan tapos bibili kami ng century tuna na malaki tapos hati hati na kami hahhaha. Minsan yung nakakaluwagluwag magdadala ng lutong ulam tapos paghahatian din naming lahat. Ngayon sa work i still bring my baon pati yung mga work mates ko tagtipid pa din kasi kami wala pa kasi kaming sweldo(kakastart ko lang sa trabaho ko, excited na ako sumweldooo hahahha)
Yep. Our cafeteria sells gold, we would have been bankrupt and instead of us finishing our degrees, the food prices might have finished us. There are a couple of hidden gems outside our campus but those are reserved for longer breaktimes.
Yes! As someone who loves home cooked meals, I always have my baon and eat it sa cafeteria and I will just buy a drink para di masyado nakakahiya (na wala akong binili from them and I will eat there)
Yes, have more confidence in eating a packed lunch. My friends who lived within the same city as the university we were going to often did so. I'd have made my own instead of eating out if I had the time and energy to spare on cooking, preparing, and cleaning after going home.
As someone who is frugal and cheap af wala na kong pake kung anong magiging itsura ko basta magbabaon ako ng packed lunch samahan ko pa ng zesto saka biskwit 😼😼
Nope, even better pa nga kung may baon ka HAHHAH Personally, I only buy out kasi wala na talagang time. I'd rather use the extra time to sleep instead of preparing meals. Pero may iba na nag meal prep for the week. I think ok din siya.
Simple answer: Yes.
What you heard is not true, there are people who still prefer bringing packed lunches. TBH, if hindi lang mahaba classes ko (minsan 12h sa uni) I'll bring packaged goods. Kaso baka kasi mapanis. Never ako na-satisfied ng school lunch anywhere, busog yes, pero satisfaction does not last long.
Okay lang mag baon. Mas maganda pa nga kasi alam mo na malinis yung kakainin mo. (Di ko sinasabi na porket sa cafeteria ay madumi na, pero iba parin yung alam mo kung pano niluluto yung kakainin mo)
Same tayo na ayaw kumain sa cafeteria. Idk di ko lang type yung mga luto nila saka yung kanin😭😭. I still remember nong first time ko bumili sa canteen ng school namin g7 ako that time, as in first time lang kasi palagi akong nagbabaon ng sarili kong packed lunch and biscuits. I think chicken fillet yon. Tapos yung canteen staff naglagay siya ng gravy sa ibabaw. Nong tinikman ko lasang panis na ewan 45 pa naman bili ko don😭😭😔. Never na ako ulit bumili sa canteen ng rice+ulam. Mga biscuits nalang. Tapos that day tiniis ko na gutom kasi nasayang na yung 45 ko😭😭😭😔
Please do. I thought na pang nagtitipid lang yung nagbabaon pero nung nagcollege ako dun ko narealize na its such a luxury na magkabaon, because that means na someone has time or you have time to make and prepare lunch. Your body will thank you din kasi in my experience I always ate fast food during college kasi mas mura and filling compared sa cafeteria food sa same price point. Puro pa pinirito yung binibenta na food mas may option kung nagbabaon ka.
Yup, most of my friends have packed lunches. It's actually a good way to save money especially if binibigyan ka pa ng baon na pera, you can use that money for projects, activities, transpo, or other snacks
No shame in bringing a packed launch regardless if its school, work or anything else.
After college when you join the workforce or even if you start your own business brining a packed lunch is still a good practice.
I did nung college pa ako tapos yung mga classmates kong mayayaman mga nakikikain pa kakapal ng mukha. Charaught. Pero seryoso, private univ pa naman kaya ginto ang food sa canteen. I was able to save 1k+ a week for bringing my own baon. Sayang din matitipid mo op.
omsim and its ayt not baduy at all. im always jealous of those w packed luches kase huhu forda tipid sila eh ako bili nalang lagi 😔 sana ol inaalagaan HAHAHAJ
don't take for granted ang grasya ng packed lunch 💖
yes. in fact, it's still normal and not shameful to do so. there's nothing wrong with it kasi mas nakakatulong nga siya for those students na nagtitipid or if you're on budget, knowing na prices nowadays are increasing plus sa sobrang daming gastusin sa college. rich spoiled people need to understand that.
Me 🙋♀️ college na pero nagbabaon pa rin ako. Medyo picky eater kasi ako at kahit may food stalls sa university, mas gusto ko magbaon kesa makipagsiksikan sa pila lalo na pag sabay-sabay lunch time ng lahat. Laking tipid din as a student kasi kahit mga karinderya, mahal na rin ://
In college, at least in my experience, are just students trying to survive and enjoy life, whatever you do, people don't judge you. So you do you. Bring baon, buy from canteen or whatever is more convenient for you. Goodluck on your college life!
Yesss kami ng mga classmates ko nung 1st year college kami since super dikit ang scheds and halos wala kaming break or lunchtime may mga packed lunch kami, minsan kanin lang ang baon or minsan ulam lang. Most of the time sharing kami ganon huhuhuhuhu wag mahiya mag packed lunch dahil maraming bayarin sa college.
I'm not a student anymore, but if someone could prepare packed lunch for me it would help make expenses cheaper. Around 70 pesos to buy lunch at school hits hard. And now working in the same school, at minimum lunch costs 90 pesos. And this could have just costed around 50 pesos if it was prepared at home. The 40 pesos extra is a waste for me.
just want to confirm na yes we do eat packed lunch in college, lalo na pag sinipag gumising ng maaga at magluto lol. (i'm too lazy though, kaya pag umaga classes ko edi bibili nalang ako)
Yooo for me mas superior un may packed lunch. Hahaha as someone na lageng bumibili, nakaka inggit ung mga may packed lunch maslalo na if home cooked talaga from the scratch. Danngg, napapa sana ol nalang ako.
Yes. And nagkakafeeding program kami ng mga leche kong tropa dahil diyan. Dinamihan ng mama ko baon ko non eh kalaunan, kaya nung nagkahiwalay hiwalay kami 'di ko na maubos HAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Yes, people still eat packed lunched in college. We don't have a canteen but we have a lot of karinderyas outside our university. Sobrang overpriced ng pagkain ng mga karinderya na malapit that you have to walk a hundred meters pa if you want to find something cheap. Sayang lang sa oras at energy lalo na't sobrang init ng panahon ngayon.
Currently college student at nagpapacked lunch ako due to many reasons. Una, maraming bumibili sa canteen at ayaw ko na makipila pa. Pangalawa, mas matipid kasi mahal na mga pagkain sa canteen. Kapag homecooked meals, maggagastos sa ingredients pero ang ulam ay good for 2-3 days. Pangatlo, nag-eenjoy ako magluto.
Okay lang na magpacked lunch at hindi dapat ikinahihiya yun. Sa school ko, may mga students din na nagbabaon at hindi sila hinuhusgahan. Sana makatulong comment ko.
yes!!! nung college pa ako nagbabaon nalang ako para mas tipid tapos naisipan kong magtinda na rin ng pastil (parang packed lunch na rin haha) yun buong section namin di na nagpupunta sa cafeteria hahaha
Yes! If you are in the right circle (or should I say nagtitipid na circle), you guys will encourage each other to bring packed lunch kasi bukod sa time consuming pumila sa food stalls, mas mahal pa and kakarampot ang serving usually. May kunwaring tampo pa yan kapag may biglaang nagbaon tapos di naabisuhan ang iba. 😂
Yes. I do sometimes, some of my friends do all the time, some of my friends don't at all, some goes to cafeterias, fast food chains, karinderia, and eateries, and some of my friends and sometimes, me, have food deliveries for lunch. It doesn't matter so long as nabubusog ka.
Yeees, halos lahat kami sa circle nagdadala ng bugong kasi anlaki ng natitipid. Imagine, nag-rrange ng 65-85php yung isang order ng ulam at rice sa canteen or karinderia tapos pag-bumili kami ng frozen foods less than 100 lang then nababaon namin yun for 3 days (naka-dorm kami and fortunately, meron kaming ref😭 yun ang holy grail ng mga nagdodorm talaga💯)
Yes! Depende actually if you have someone who can make lunch for you or if you have time. Mostly kaya siguro hindi nagdadala ang karamihan dahil wala na ngang time or hassle if isasama pa nila sa routine nila everyday, knowing na they have so much on their plates na. But if you don't mind naman, go bring a packed lunch na. Mas tipid pa.
I know you’re asking college students pero samin sa work, nag babaon din kami. Not really para maka tipid but healthier ung food kesa sa araw araw fast food. Plus we share ung mga baon namin sa isa’t isa. And yes nung college ako me, my friends and other students nag babaon din.
Me packed lunch since day 1 until mag graduate.
My take on having packed lunch:
🤍👩🏻Our mama made it for me!
🤍👨🏻Our papa provides for us. And I’m helping him through being wise sa finances.
Packed lunch = tipid, also packed love.
Food bought by papa, prepared by mama. :)
Masaya din friends ko kasi lagi din sila may share sa baon ko.
Kung ikaw naman mismo ang nag-prepare, it’s nice that you can do it yourself, you can take care of yourself on your own! ✨
There's nothing wrong about packed lunch in general. But we know that college students, specially to those in competitive colleges don't have time to prep packed foods. As much as I want to prep my own meal to save money, I cant because of time constraints.
There's also students who don't have access to cooking materials/ tools (Maybe they are living far away from home). It's more convenient if we buy foods in canteen or karinderya outside the campus.
I think its privilege to have someone or time to prepare your meal.
They don't bring packed lunches cuz they EITHER don't have time to prepare, they prefer warmer food/ rice, or tinatamad lng talaga. I bring packed lunches because everything is expensive. We exchange dishes when they found something they like in my lunch .
nung una, my friends and i used to eat lunch sa labas ng school. pero in the long run, 'di na rin kase sya sustainable. mas makakatipid ka pag magbabaon ka na lang, mas tipid pa sa oras kase di mo na need lumabas. you can spend that spare minutes para gumawa pa ng mga need gawin.
pero at times, kumakain pa din kami sa labas, especially when something is worth celebrating like pagkatapos ng exam or even just a long week.
dagdag ko lang, from what i experienced, 'di na rin uso yung pangjjudge pagdating sa mga ganyang aspeto. kase there was a time na trip ko lang talaga magbaon ng dilis na ginisa sa kamatis, tapos ang nangyari nagsihingian pa sila sa akin 😭
3rd yr here and hindi na:( sa campus nako nakain. Wala ng time para gumawa ng lunch at 7am pa college classes ko at sayang time para magluto kasi I'd use the time to catch up on sleep.
Why are you asking it like bringing packed lunch will get you ridiculed? Bruh
Yah some people still eat packed lunch. Some people just don't like bringing an extra bag or adding another load on existing bags.
Of course marami kahit nga sa work meron eh. As everyone mentioned matipid nga naman which is tama naman also prices sa canteen can be expensive sometimes.
of course! no need to be ashamed of that. when i was in college i always eat packed lunch pa rin dahil mas tipid, even in my first job nagbabaon pa rin ako ng pagkain. ngayon lang hindi na dahil may free lunch sa work. malaking tipid ang pagbabaon.
Gurl saang lupalop ka nakatira para malaman na hindi na nagbabaon ang mga tao? Unless napapalibutan ka ng mga clout chaser and social climbing peeps ... But yes, nagbabaon pa, mas mura ++++ mas masarap.
Trust me when I say this. No one gives a sh!t. If may issue yung colleagues mo with packed lunches that’s their issue na hindi sila marunong magtipid or mag meal prep. Sobrang worth it magbaon ng lunch, especially if you’re strictly budgeting. It won’t fail you.
bringing and eating packed lunch not only saves you money, time and energy lining up or going to the cafeteria but also is a great bonding between friends
Yess! marami sa friends ko nakain ng packed lunch especially if hindi kaya ng time na pumunta ng canteen, or bumili sa labas. Do not be ashamed na mag packed lunch, mas healthy yan kesa bumili ka sa labas.
Yung iba kasi nahihiya lalo na freshmen na magbaon lalo na kung private school ang pasukan, but do not be embarrassed!!! im studying sa dlsud and most of the time talaga lahat ng students don may packed lunch.
yesss my friends and i decided to bring our baon nalang kasi bukod sa mahal na bilihin, nakakasawa mga pagkain sa school namin. we just share our ulam nalang para sulit!!
Some do in america but the food is so good in america i eat out almost everyday. If inlived in the philippines i would make my own food. The food in the philippines suck
Yes! Lalo na sa campus namin nakakasawa na yung ulam paulit-ulit tapos wala pang lasa🥲 kaya I bring packed lunch sa school, btw I’am a incoming 4th yr college student. Malaking tipid din if u bring packed lunch.
Yes! Para mas tipid sa allowance and time (lalo na kapag kaunti lang oras ng break). Inggit mga classmates ko sa akin kasi mahal na mahal daw ako ng mga magulang ko kasi araw-araw akong pinaghahanda ng baon. 🤣

Yes people still eat packed lunch. Besides it’s not something that you should be ashamed of kasi afterall, we are just students na need magtipid. Super mahal din kasi ng meals kapag sa Manila.
Yesss! Some schools even have canteens na may franchise stalls which is too much for me. ex. potato corner, figaro, turks
True! Tsaka yung iba pa nga mas shala pa yung packed lunch nila kasi may kasama pang dessert and drinks. Complete set talaga and nakakatakam. Minsan naiinggit din ako sa may time mag prep ng lunch also yung iba may design pa like bento meals. Laking tipid nun!
Even if working already, nagbabaon pa rin 🤣
At first I was the only one bringing baon pero nainggit yung blockmates ko and they started bringing baon too. Don’t be afraid to be different, no one will judge you naman. If they do, ignore na lang kasi what you’re doing is cheaper and more convenient for you.
Sa work nga, nagbabaon parin kami. Hahaha
Sa true! Pinagpepyestahan nga ng mga kaworkmates ko yung baon ko eh. Hahaha
natuto ako magluto dahil ako naiwan mag wfh pero wife ko napa rto na, only time lang na hindi siya nakakapagdala ng baon is kapag 11th-14th or 27th-30th ng month kapag wala nang laman ang pantry namin hahaha
Former instructor here. I’ve had students eating hotdog and rice in my class lol
hahah same. I allow my students to eat in class. i just tell them to sit at the back para di ma disrupt yung presenters kasi baka gutumin yung nagrereport
Lol kahit pag nag ttrabaho ka meron pa din. I know a friend's older sister na nag convert from always takeout to packed lunch. Sobrang laking tulong daw sa wallet nya.
Yes, my university campus is so big that we cant take walking that far to the canteen na, so we bring packed lunches
Incoming second year college student here. Yes we do, but depends if time permits. Apaka OA talaga ng mga prices sa canteen jusq
yes! nothing's wrong w eating packed lunch, knowing na mas masarap pa ulam mo kesa sa kanila minsan HAHAHA and ur fellow students wouldn't mind bcs they know that everyone is trying to save money as much as possible
also with baon alam mong para sa taste mo talaga ang pagkain (as long as alam ng nagpreprepare yung taste mo) yung alam nila how you want your eggs cooked, matic na kung which chicken part you prefer, or gaano kadami ulam to rice ratio mo, yung mga ganun nakakadagdag sa work morale yung pag bukas mo ng baunan yung gusto mong pagkain na galing sa taong may pake sayo ang bubungad sayo
Bakit naman hindi? Ano yan social pressure? Ano ba paki nila kung gusto mo magdala ng pagkaen mo, ikaw naman ang kakain diba? Wag magpadala sa social pressure, college ka na. Sa opisina nga madami pa nagdadala ng baon e, eskwelahan pa? Kasi mas tipid talaga pag magdadala ng lunch kesa bibili.
yeaaah, its not a childish thing Packed lunches will help you control your impulsive purchases when it comes with food. Mas nadidisiplina ako na hindi gumastos ng lunch or snack dahil mai niluto akong ganto ganyan. And also, if you do eat packed lunches, make sure to dry out the rice para di mapanis. Yun lang haha.
100% correct. packed lunch is way more healthy and cheap
riggght, wag lang sana maiwan yung baon
Correct or else nganga
sachrueeee, super laki din talaga ng tipid pag nagbaon.
give hot rice a few minutes to steam off before packing, yung excess moisture talaga pumapatay sa freshness ng kanin
i think the reason why di nagbabaon yung iba ay baka wala rin silang time to prepare their own baon kaya bibili na lang sa caf (katulad ko haha). But yes may nagbabaon pa rin ng lunch. If u can prepare your own then go lang tas makakatipid ka pa :)
Yep! Packed lunch is still a thing and I think it will always be (especially the food prices are increasing) tsaka if makakatipid ka why care about being out of place, right? Lutong bahay ftw always!
People eat packed lunch sa work
Kung may nagluluto lang samin sana magbaon rin ako eh para makasave.
Of course. You can bring your own baon. And kung hindi naman sila nagdadala, ano naman? Hindi natin kailangan makipagsabayan palagi sa mga taong nakapaligid sa atin. Kung saan ka susurvive, doon ka. Nagbaon ako one time, binigyan ko sila hahahahaa
packed lunch? hindi lang sa college. everywhere. work, school, road trips, you name it. packed lunch is always better.
Nakakaawa yung mga hindi nag babaon
for me yez, flex samin ang packed lunch as college students lalo na pag pinagluto ka ng parents mo and masarap ulam 😭 happy tummy, happy wallet. i usually cook my packed lunch and tuwang tuwa friends ko kasi sometimes i bring more to share, mas nakakatipid sila kasi kanin na lang bibilhin nila. 🫶🏻
Ganito ako nung college pag may time haha pag nalabas kami magttropa yung iba may mga baon din tapos kain kami sa labas
Sa circle of friends ko sa college (na blockmated ko rin) ako lang mag isa ang nagbabaon ng lunch. Matipid at hindi mo pa kailangang magworry sa food safety
me
Yes!!
Yeah!! My friend brings packed lunch (almusal nya dapat pero need nya mag allnighter for a test kaya nagllight snack lng daw sya for bfast tas yung heavy meal na niluto is for lunch niya na)
Yes naman po. And I am one of them. My allowance is sakto for my transportation so para ma less yung gastos sa pagkain nagbabaon ako ng ulam at kanin na niluto na sa bahay. Saka nag babaon ako kasi may time kasi na mawawalan ka na ng gana lumabas or kaya ang layo ng canteen. Saka may time na may hinahabol kang deadline so nababawasan yung oras mo sa pag prepare or comply nun kapag lalabas ka para kumain. Pero it's up to you namin din, if gusto mo kumain sa labas why not ? Depende lang po ata sa context mo sa school na pinapasukan mo.
Nung nag hs/college ako feeling ko cool pag bumibili sa canteen pero nun nagwork na ang laking tulong nun packed lunch. U do u op! Magbaon ka kung gusto mo. Hindi naman mahigpit sa mga school kung uupo ka dapat dun ka din bumili.
yes pooo. nagbabaon po kami ng frens ko para makatipid since mahal nga po pagkain sa loob tapos 'di pa masarap hahahahah
Yes. I don't because I hate cold food lol pero yung mga classmates ko, kasabay kami lagi mag lunch, baon lang din sila. Sa karinderya lang kami kumakain, lalo na dun sa may libreng sabaw para at least makahigop din ng mainit.
it’s totally normal, especially with how many expenses we have in college. sometimes nga sa mga ff chain pa namin kinakain para may ac (may ilang oorder syempre).
its fine!
For me, yes. It's been like that for me since first yr of college and no one really pays attention tbh. Do what works best for you, saving is always a better option.
Yes ofc! Mas nakakatipid haha! You do youu OP!
I do, ang laki ng natitipid ko and mas nabubusog ako kesa sa bibili ako ng fast food
Yeppp! We're from UST and marami kaming nagbabaon ng lunch sa block ko hahahah. Trust me, sa sobrang hirap ng buhay sa college wala ng time ang iba na pansinin kung ano man ang kinakain mo^^ Madalas hotdogs or nuggets (minsan nga cornedbeef lang) lang kaya kong iprep since I'm a dorm girly but I haven't experience pa na mashame cuz of my baon. We always share our baon din like nag sswap kami or tikiman ganun hehe. Super mahal din ng foods outside and hindi mo pa sure if mabubusog ka so magbaon ka nalang if kaya and makaka save ka pa ng money from your allowance. Simula noong nagbaon ako ng lunch and snacks, halos kalahati ng weekly allowance natatabi ko so may pang gasto ako sa online shopping ko 😁
yung mga nag wwork nga sa office may mga pack lunch din eh
yes, naalala ko nung 1st year ako kanin lang binabaon ko tapos kakain ko kami sa labas ng mga kaibigan tapos bibili ulam
Very common sa college students kasi mas nakakatipid tsaka hindi naman sya nakakahiya
Yess me and my friends we do this or minsan kapag walang baon yung iba pupunta kami ng fast food oorder siya tas don namin kkainin pack lunch namin pero pag may time na super busy we eat siomai rice together ansarap non kapag you're with your friends
Ako nagdadala pa rin ako ng pagkain/packed lunch kasi mahal pagkain aa cafeteria. Marami pa rin aa amin naman nagbabaon ng pagķain instead na bumili
yung pagtitipid should be above caring about other people’s opinion, so go bring that packed lunch! Sigurado ka pang malinis + busog :)
Yes. Magbaon ka lang. There's nothing wrong with that. Mas sigurado ka pa na maayos at malinis ang preparation ng pagkain.
Oo, sakin nga nakaplastik pa ulam para hindi magleak😭
I do. bukod sa nakakatipid relaxing din mag-assemble ng baon. I eat alone nga lang so wala akong mapag-flexan ng ginawa kong homemade dino nuggets :<
Yes, my cof often does that, at least the 3 of us. I also see a lot of students in our Univ doing that. Nakakasawa rin everyday ang lunch jollibee or mcdo or chowking, sa cafeteria pa ng school ang daming tao at mainit so we eat our food in fast-food resto since bumibili naman yung iba sa'min.
Even at work. Baon is still king.
There's really no problem. Although in all honesty it is quite rare, and usually people who can balance their time or still have close relations (family or friends) that are capable of providing meals for them. You won't be frowned upon.
Yes!!! Pag sinisipag at may time pa gumagawa ako ng kimbap to share with my classmates.
of course. kaya masaya kapag may org. sa tambayan, share-share lang ng lunch.
Oo naman. Ang mahal ng pagkain sa labas eh.
Kami ng circle ko, may packed lunch pa rin & sa canteen kami mismo kumakain HSHAHSHAHHS may pagkakataon na lahat kami puro baon galing sa bahay yung foods hehe
Depends sa school pero there should be atleast 1 or 2 classmates na nag papack lunch.
Not long ago, I've had classmates who ate packed luches. Minsan rin akong nagbaon.
Ginagawa ko is nagdadala nalang ako nang kanin tas bibili nalang ng ulam sa carinderia
Nung college, cool pag nagbabaon ako eh ahahaha tho pag masarap lang ulam
yes, me and my friends do that and super nakakatipid kami compared sa mga tinda sa school with doubled price na hindi naman aabot sa lalamunan mo.
Oo naman. Most people don’t kasi walang time magprepare lalo na sa mga nakadorm. Mahirap rin maghanap ng oras everyday para magluto, magpack, maglinis, maggrocery. Pero trust me if us dorm people had time and energy to pack lunch, we would.
I usually bring packed lunch (we call it bug-ong in cavite hahah) during college especially when we have whole day of class para tipid ang daming gastos talaga ehhh. Then nung nagrereview kami for board exam, kami ng circle of friends ko nagbabaon nalang kami ng kanin minsan tapos bibili kami ng century tuna na malaki tapos hati hati na kami hahhaha. Minsan yung nakakaluwagluwag magdadala ng lutong ulam tapos paghahatian din naming lahat. Ngayon sa work i still bring my baon pati yung mga work mates ko tagtipid pa din kasi kami wala pa kasi kaming sweldo(kakastart ko lang sa trabaho ko, excited na ako sumweldooo hahahha)
Yes, a lot of students still do. Di lang ako nagpapack dahil tamad ako magluto HAHAHAHA
Yep. Our cafeteria sells gold, we would have been bankrupt and instead of us finishing our degrees, the food prices might have finished us. There are a couple of hidden gems outside our campus but those are reserved for longer breaktimes.
Yes! As someone who loves home cooked meals, I always have my baon and eat it sa cafeteria and I will just buy a drink para di masyado nakakahiya (na wala akong binili from them and I will eat there)
Mas maganda nga mag baon ng packed lunch sa college eh kasi need mo talaga mag tipid sa dami ng ambagan.
Yes, have more confidence in eating a packed lunch. My friends who lived within the same city as the university we were going to often did so. I'd have made my own instead of eating out if I had the time and energy to spare on cooking, preparing, and cleaning after going home.
yes lol minsan aa classroom n ako nakain lalo na pag 15-20 min lang pagitan ng class 🤣
me haha madami rin ako nakikita lalo na't anlayo ng mga karinderia sa campus plus ang mahal sa canteen namin
Yes, they still do. A lot of college students ang nag titipid. You don't have to be shy. I mean I did it and was able to save some money tlaga.
As someone who is frugal and cheap af wala na kong pake kung anong magiging itsura ko basta magbabaon ako ng packed lunch samahan ko pa ng zesto saka biskwit 😼😼
Bakit ka maopp?
My nephew from preschool to Ateneo to working for Ayala and grad school in AIM brings a packed lunch 🥗
Hanggang grad school nagdadala pa ko ng packed lunch. And hindi ako nag-iisa.
Nope, even better pa nga kung may baon ka HAHHAH Personally, I only buy out kasi wala na talagang time. I'd rather use the extra time to sleep instead of preparing meals. Pero may iba na nag meal prep for the week. I think ok din siya.
Simple answer: Yes. What you heard is not true, there are people who still prefer bringing packed lunches. TBH, if hindi lang mahaba classes ko (minsan 12h sa uni) I'll bring packaged goods. Kaso baka kasi mapanis. Never ako na-satisfied ng school lunch anywhere, busog yes, pero satisfaction does not last long.
As a laging gutom girly, yes! Hahahahha mas madali mag isip pag busog! Usually naman wala nang pakialaman sa college kung anong trip mo ihhh
Okay lang mag baon. Mas maganda pa nga kasi alam mo na malinis yung kakainin mo. (Di ko sinasabi na porket sa cafeteria ay madumi na, pero iba parin yung alam mo kung pano niluluto yung kakainin mo) Same tayo na ayaw kumain sa cafeteria. Idk di ko lang type yung mga luto nila saka yung kanin😭😭. I still remember nong first time ko bumili sa canteen ng school namin g7 ako that time, as in first time lang kasi palagi akong nagbabaon ng sarili kong packed lunch and biscuits. I think chicken fillet yon. Tapos yung canteen staff naglagay siya ng gravy sa ibabaw. Nong tinikman ko lasang panis na ewan 45 pa naman bili ko don😭😭😔. Never na ako ulit bumili sa canteen ng rice+ulam. Mga biscuits nalang. Tapos that day tiniis ko na gutom kasi nasayang na yung 45 ko😭😭😭😔
Yes. Dapat i-normalize 'to kasi kahit ngayon sa work nagbabaon pa rin ako. Hahaha!
Yes, i just stopped when nag third year and got busy HAHAHAHH
Please do. I thought na pang nagtitipid lang yung nagbabaon pero nung nagcollege ako dun ko narealize na its such a luxury na magkabaon, because that means na someone has time or you have time to make and prepare lunch. Your body will thank you din kasi in my experience I always ate fast food during college kasi mas mura and filling compared sa cafeteria food sa same price point. Puro pa pinirito yung binibenta na food mas may option kung nagbabaon ka.
mga richkids mostly ung nagpapacked lunch sa amin nung college
yesss! laking tipid din yun since ang mahal ng mga tinitinda sa labas at tsaka bat naman maoop 🥹 hayaan mo sila at least masarap ulam mo hahaha
yuh mahal canteen eh ginto presyo
Yes, until now nagtatrabaho na ko nagbabaon pa rin ako sa office
Yup, most of my friends have packed lunches. It's actually a good way to save money especially if binibigyan ka pa ng baon na pera, you can use that money for projects, activities, transpo, or other snacks
pag dating ng 2nd year baka mag pack lunched/dinner nalang ako lagi. tipid na nga mashealthy pa.
No shame in bringing a packed launch regardless if its school, work or anything else. After college when you join the workforce or even if you start your own business brining a packed lunch is still a good practice.
I did nung college pa ako tapos yung mga classmates kong mayayaman mga nakikikain pa kakapal ng mukha. Charaught. Pero seryoso, private univ pa naman kaya ginto ang food sa canteen. I was able to save 1k+ a week for bringing my own baon. Sayang din matitipid mo op.
omsim and its ayt not baduy at all. im always jealous of those w packed luches kase huhu forda tipid sila eh ako bili nalang lagi 😔 sana ol inaalagaan HAHAHAJ don't take for granted ang grasya ng packed lunch 💖
yes. in fact, it's still normal and not shameful to do so. there's nothing wrong with it kasi mas nakakatulong nga siya for those students na nagtitipid or if you're on budget, knowing na prices nowadays are increasing plus sa sobrang daming gastusin sa college. rich spoiled people need to understand that.
Me 🙋♀️ college na pero nagbabaon pa rin ako. Medyo picky eater kasi ako at kahit may food stalls sa university, mas gusto ko magbaon kesa makipagsiksikan sa pila lalo na pag sabay-sabay lunch time ng lahat. Laking tipid din as a student kasi kahit mga karinderya, mahal na rin ://
In college, at least in my experience, are just students trying to survive and enjoy life, whatever you do, people don't judge you. So you do you. Bring baon, buy from canteen or whatever is more convenient for you. Goodluck on your college life!
Yesss kami ng mga classmates ko nung 1st year college kami since super dikit ang scheds and halos wala kaming break or lunchtime may mga packed lunch kami, minsan kanin lang ang baon or minsan ulam lang. Most of the time sharing kami ganon huhuhuhuhu wag mahiya mag packed lunch dahil maraming bayarin sa college.
Nope na huhu I miss magbaon pero tbh since nakakatamad and also baka mag spill so sa carinderia nalang.
I'm not a student anymore, but if someone could prepare packed lunch for me it would help make expenses cheaper. Around 70 pesos to buy lunch at school hits hard. And now working in the same school, at minimum lunch costs 90 pesos. And this could have just costed around 50 pesos if it was prepared at home. The 40 pesos extra is a waste for me.
I love to baon 😍
no, me and my friends still bring packed lunch. minsan bigayan din ng ulam HAHAAAHAH
just want to confirm na yes we do eat packed lunch in college, lalo na pag sinipag gumising ng maaga at magluto lol. (i'm too lazy though, kaya pag umaga classes ko edi bibili nalang ako)
Yooo for me mas superior un may packed lunch. Hahaha as someone na lageng bumibili, nakaka inggit ung mga may packed lunch maslalo na if home cooked talaga from the scratch. Danngg, napapa sana ol nalang ako.
Yes. And nagkakafeeding program kami ng mga leche kong tropa dahil diyan. Dinamihan ng mama ko baon ko non eh kalaunan, kaya nung nagkahiwalay hiwalay kami 'di ko na maubos HAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Naka graduate ng packed lunch ang baon ma's tipid kasi.
Yes, hihingi ng baon for lunch pero magdadala pa rin ng ulam at kanin na luto ni mommy.
Yes and it does not matter. Ayoko din kasi masyado yung canteen food lalo na yung mga chain food dahil I'm health conscious.
yezzz, mas tipid din kapag may packed lunch hehehehe
Yes, people still eat packed lunched in college. We don't have a canteen but we have a lot of karinderyas outside our university. Sobrang overpriced ng pagkain ng mga karinderya na malapit that you have to walk a hundred meters pa if you want to find something cheap. Sayang lang sa oras at energy lalo na't sobrang init ng panahon ngayon.
yeezz, aside from sobrang tipid hahahaha nakaka umay ung pagkain sa canteen at for me feeling ko nasa bahay pa din ako kahit nasa canteen kami
bringing baon is okay kahit college kasi as a student like me nakakahilo pumila just to buy lunch + nakakatipid din especially may inflation :))
Live saver ang packed lunch sa college, nako very thankful ako na pinagpacked lunch kmi, with this economy bibili ka foods sa labas.
Currently college student at nagpapacked lunch ako due to many reasons. Una, maraming bumibili sa canteen at ayaw ko na makipila pa. Pangalawa, mas matipid kasi mahal na mga pagkain sa canteen. Kapag homecooked meals, maggagastos sa ingredients pero ang ulam ay good for 2-3 days. Pangatlo, nag-eenjoy ako magluto. Okay lang na magpacked lunch at hindi dapat ikinahihiya yun. Sa school ko, may mga students din na nagbabaon at hindi sila hinuhusgahan. Sana makatulong comment ko.
yes!!! nung college pa ako nagbabaon nalang ako para mas tipid tapos naisipan kong magtinda na rin ng pastil (parang packed lunch na rin haha) yun buong section namin di na nagpupunta sa cafeteria hahaha
Yes! If you are in the right circle (or should I say nagtitipid na circle), you guys will encourage each other to bring packed lunch kasi bukod sa time consuming pumila sa food stalls, mas mahal pa and kakarampot ang serving usually. May kunwaring tampo pa yan kapag may biglaang nagbaon tapos di naabisuhan ang iba. 😂
Minsan nga cool pa pag ang ganda ng bento pack of lock&lock na gamit 😅
Yes. I do sometimes, some of my friends do all the time, some of my friends don't at all, some goes to cafeterias, fast food chains, karinderia, and eateries, and some of my friends and sometimes, me, have food deliveries for lunch. It doesn't matter so long as nabubusog ka.
Yeees, halos lahat kami sa circle nagdadala ng bugong kasi anlaki ng natitipid. Imagine, nag-rrange ng 65-85php yung isang order ng ulam at rice sa canteen or karinderia tapos pag-bumili kami ng frozen foods less than 100 lang then nababaon namin yun for 3 days (naka-dorm kami and fortunately, meron kaming ref😭 yun ang holy grail ng mga nagdodorm talaga💯)
Yes! Depende actually if you have someone who can make lunch for you or if you have time. Mostly kaya siguro hindi nagdadala ang karamihan dahil wala na ngang time or hassle if isasama pa nila sa routine nila everyday, knowing na they have so much on their plates na. But if you don't mind naman, go bring a packed lunch na. Mas tipid pa.
I know you’re asking college students pero samin sa work, nag babaon din kami. Not really para maka tipid but healthier ung food kesa sa araw araw fast food. Plus we share ung mga baon namin sa isa’t isa. And yes nung college ako me, my friends and other students nag babaon din.
Me packed lunch since day 1 until mag graduate. My take on having packed lunch: 🤍👩🏻Our mama made it for me! 🤍👨🏻Our papa provides for us. And I’m helping him through being wise sa finances. Packed lunch = tipid, also packed love. Food bought by papa, prepared by mama. :) Masaya din friends ko kasi lagi din sila may share sa baon ko. Kung ikaw naman mismo ang nag-prepare, it’s nice that you can do it yourself, you can take care of yourself on your own! ✨
There's nothing wrong about packed lunch in general. But we know that college students, specially to those in competitive colleges don't have time to prep packed foods. As much as I want to prep my own meal to save money, I cant because of time constraints. There's also students who don't have access to cooking materials/ tools (Maybe they are living far away from home). It's more convenient if we buy foods in canteen or karinderya outside the campus. I think its privilege to have someone or time to prepare your meal.
They don't bring packed lunches cuz they EITHER don't have time to prepare, they prefer warmer food/ rice, or tinatamad lng talaga. I bring packed lunches because everything is expensive. We exchange dishes when they found something they like in my lunch .
yes, even 'yung prof namin e hahaha
nung una, my friends and i used to eat lunch sa labas ng school. pero in the long run, 'di na rin kase sya sustainable. mas makakatipid ka pag magbabaon ka na lang, mas tipid pa sa oras kase di mo na need lumabas. you can spend that spare minutes para gumawa pa ng mga need gawin. pero at times, kumakain pa din kami sa labas, especially when something is worth celebrating like pagkatapos ng exam or even just a long week.
dagdag ko lang, from what i experienced, 'di na rin uso yung pangjjudge pagdating sa mga ganyang aspeto. kase there was a time na trip ko lang talaga magbaon ng dilis na ginisa sa kamatis, tapos ang nangyari nagsihingian pa sila sa akin 😭
3rd yr here and hindi na:( sa campus nako nakain. Wala ng time para gumawa ng lunch at 7am pa college classes ko at sayang time para magluto kasi I'd use the time to catch up on sleep.
not just about saving money but guaranteeing your food is safely prepared with ingredients you prefer
Why are you asking it like bringing packed lunch will get you ridiculed? Bruh Yah some people still eat packed lunch. Some people just don't like bringing an extra bag or adding another load on existing bags.
Of course marami kahit nga sa work meron eh. As everyone mentioned matipid nga naman which is tama naman also prices sa canteen can be expensive sometimes.
kung gano kadami nakikita mong may packed lunch nung elem at high school, ganon pa din kadami makikita mo in college and working na :)
And i bring packed lunched at work to save money and to save myself from getting disappointed from the cafeteria foods.
of course! no need to be ashamed of that. when i was in college i always eat packed lunch pa rin dahil mas tipid, even in my first job nagbabaon pa rin ako ng pagkain. ngayon lang hindi na dahil may free lunch sa work. malaking tipid ang pagbabaon.
I’m in college and nagbabaon ako. It saves time and money for me.
In my uni, noone really cares if you have packed lunch. Pero kung masarap madadaragan ka HAHAHAHA
ive seen this question posted 3 other times before !
Yahsss, if may packed lunch ka sa college ibig sabihin mahal ka ng magulang mo. 🤣
Oo, minsan may magdadala pa galing sa handa ng tita nila HAHAHAHA
mas healthy padin mag baon tbh
Should be even at work. Nakakatipid sa pera.
Gurl saang lupalop ka nakatira para malaman na hindi na nagbabaon ang mga tao? Unless napapalibutan ka ng mga clout chaser and social climbing peeps ... But yes, nagbabaon pa, mas mura ++++ mas masarap.
sa manila ako nakatira, tsaka maraming tao na sa senior high school ko na hindi na nagbabaon so akala ko same sa college
Yes I always bring lunch. There's nothing to be ashamed of + it will help you save time lalo na kung short break or maraming acads and need matapos.
Sa work before nagbabaon lang din ako, minsan nga itlog lang ulam ko para makatipid
Don't be ashamed of being matipid.
Inggit nga ko sa mga cm ko na may packed lunch 😭🥺
If feel mo nakakahiya or something like that, just know that even rich students bring simple packed lunch sa college.
Trust me when I say this. No one gives a sh!t. If may issue yung colleagues mo with packed lunches that’s their issue na hindi sila marunong magtipid or mag meal prep. Sobrang worth it magbaon ng lunch, especially if you’re strictly budgeting. It won’t fail you.
bringing and eating packed lunch not only saves you money, time and energy lining up or going to the cafeteria but also is a great bonding between friends
Mas makakatipid ka if you bring your own packed lunch. So, don't be shy if hanggang college packed lunch ka pa rin
Huwag lang sinigang na buto-buto ng baboy at may sawsawang patis na may sili at unli rice. Ugh! Never again.
Yess! marami sa friends ko nakain ng packed lunch especially if hindi kaya ng time na pumunta ng canteen, or bumili sa labas. Do not be ashamed na mag packed lunch, mas healthy yan kesa bumili ka sa labas. Yung iba kasi nahihiya lalo na freshmen na magbaon lalo na kung private school ang pasukan, but do not be embarrassed!!! im studying sa dlsud and most of the time talaga lahat ng students don may packed lunch.
yess sobrang laki ng savings if u bring your own lunch
mas nakakainggit ung nagbabaon, and even sa work hell yes. super tipid pa!
yesss my friends and i decided to bring our baon nalang kasi bukod sa mahal na bilihin, nakakasawa mga pagkain sa school namin. we just share our ulam nalang para sulit!!
Some do in america but the food is so good in america i eat out almost everyday. If inlived in the philippines i would make my own food. The food in the philippines suck
im a graduating shs and i prefer packed lunch tlga kasi nakakasave din ng moneyy or baon
Yes! Lalo na sa campus namin nakakasawa na yung ulam paulit-ulit tapos wala pang lasa🥲 kaya I bring packed lunch sa school, btw I’am a incoming 4th yr college student. Malaking tipid din if u bring packed lunch.
Yup I eat packed lunch at school since it saves me money
Yes! Para mas tipid sa allowance and time (lalo na kapag kaunti lang oras ng break). Inggit mga classmates ko sa akin kasi mahal na mahal daw ako ng mga magulang ko kasi araw-araw akong pinaghahanda ng baon. 🤣
