Brown-Bagging It
Here's an article about how 20-somethings spend so much money on food because it's too depressing or inconvenient to pack a lunch. I liked one of the suggestions from one of the people interviewed: Twice a month, he goes to the grocery store and buys two week's worth of sandwich supplies and keeps them in a brown bag in the lounge’s refrigerator. So he doesn’t have to worry about making a sandwich each morning. Genius. He keeps the non-perishable snacks in a drawer at his desk.

If you're looking for another way to save money on lunch, Get your office to chip in for pizza. Make the order, and divy up the cost.
Don't do it everyday, or you'll way a million pounds.
I've also found that if I get up early enough to eat a big breakfast, I'm not hungry at lunch, and a few crackers and a slice of cheese do the trick.

Laptop Lunches (by Obentec) are awesome... it may seem like quite the investment to begin with but money spent eating out, buying in to-go sizes, brown bag packaging, etc. is quickly made up for. Plus it's fun to ack!
