I worked bedside nursing. Where i worked we always had extra food trays patients didn’t want, meaning I could get up to 2 meals a shift for free.
On paper prohibited but where I worked at this was very extended, convenient and fast.
Changed workplaces and I cannot get any free food anymore. I simply don’t know what to bring to the workplace.
If its of any help I like cooking stews, but it’s gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace. And to bring a sandwich or buy one at the cafeteria? I’ll pass.


Fold top sandwich bags are my go to. Today I brought fresh raspberries, roasted peanuts, fruit snacks, can of Shasta, fresh husky cherry tomatoes, some turkey jerky sticks, and a mini chocolate bar. Yesterday was similar snacks and a container of leftover spaghetti and meatballs. Aldi’s frozen meals are great, like chipotle chicken or birria - the actual healthy food ones, not the cheap mass market ones like Stouffer’s. I don’t even keep em frozen at work - doesn’t take so long to warm up. Absolutely avoid baked beans.
