brown-bagger

Packs their lunch

A brown-bagger is someone who brings lunch from home in a brown paper bag rather than buying food.

The term can also describe someone who drinks alcohol concealed in a brown bag, typically in public places where open containers are prohibited.

As a verb, to brown-bag is to bring your own: I brown-bag it most days to save money.
