brown-bags

Brings from home

Brown-bags as a verb means to bring lunch from home in a brown paper bag rather than buying it: I brown-bag it most days to save money.

It also means to bring your own alcohol to a restaurant that doesn't serve it, or to conceal a bottle in a bag for drinking in public where open containers are prohibited.
