brown-bagging
Bringing your own
Brown-bagging is bringing your own food or drink somewhere instead of buying it.
Workers brown-bag lunch to save money, carrying it in the plain brown paper bags that give the practice its name.
In areas where alcohol laws restrict public drinking, brown-bagging means carrying liquor in a bag to conceal it: We brown-bagged some beers for the concert.
