Whatever happened to the “brown bag” lunch?

My husband started at his new part-time job a couple of weeks ago. It’s a small place, and they don’t have a cafeteria, so he decided to start taking his lunch. Part of his decision was the high cost of lunches, and I agree. I still eat in the cafeteria at work, and I spend up to $6 a day for lunch (it’s subsidized), usually a salad or a sandwich and a drink.
It looks like lots of other Baby Boomers have the same idea. A recent Wall Street Journal article said more and more people are taking lunches to work to save money. The brown bags now in our kitchen are testament to at least one example.
How about you? Are you packing your lunch to save money? What else are you cutting back on?
