Cheap yes, but ugly even as far as top boxes go!
A vicious cycle out in New Dundee has some cheap ones too that look much better. I think they are the givi value brand Kappa, around $100 for the 35L.
Where do you store your... takeout?

If I'm grabbing take out, I just put it in my tank bag. The key is to make sure you wrap the food in a plastic bag, so if it does spill it's still all contained. But I also try to avoid anything really saucy.
Agree - ugly. Just checked givi line for small boxes - e26 is cheaper and I think a bit bigger http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/5/18/175/41528/ITEM/Givi-Monolock-E26-Tour-Top-Case.aspx
Best idea...and cheapest

My tail bag.
In Nth America, sport bike riders mainly seem to have backpacks, where as in Australia/NZ and Europe, sport bikes often have tail racks for a tail bag. They can be removed for when its not needed. I think its because here, motorcycling is considered a "Sport".
If you have two side saddles, thats enough of a platforrm to bungy a pizza box to. Done that
See this:

This type of rack is very common downunder for sportbikes etc.

Bonus points for penache. I used to do this with Blockbuster rentals but the wind would blow the DVD cases back into the brake lever and slow me down. The faster i went, the more I felt resistance from the front.....until it dawned on me!

Sure. The cruiser crowd sometimes sells a strip of leather in various lengths (according to your hair) that snaps together to form a tube that goes around your hair holding it in a rigid ponytail. It looks good and comes right off. It's easier than a bunch of hair ties.
Get a magnetic, expandable tank bag and leave the stupid backpack with the skateboard crowd. I never understood why anyone wants to ride with extra weight on their back for no reason.
Baahhaha

I use a backpack instead because when I get to whereever I'm going I'd have to pull the bag off, anyway, or someone would steal it or anything I left inside it. Otherwise I'd just be pulling my tailbag off at every stop.
This is the extent of my creativity before I got my top case... For some reason, people were looking at me funny (including cops I drove by).
Just last week I carried 2 bottles of wine in my jacket. It was for less than a block, but hey, it can be done.
To the OP, I've carried takeout in my tank bag. Might want to put styrofoam stuff in a plastic bag first though, just in case.

1. Eat it, then ride.
2. Don't go to places that give you styrofoam boxes.
3. Get a burrito
$150 is pretty steep to be able to bring food home...
If you're just bringing an average sized chinese food styrofoam box, this would probably do - I got mine for like $25 on amazon: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/14/71/986/19182/ITEM/Joe-Rocket-Manta-Tail-Bag.aspx (This is the one I have although I usually just stuff things in my backpack). It also has a rain cover but I don't think that would matter cause from what I remember, you don't ride in the rain anyways.
Keep in mind, it can't carry much... Looks a lot bigger in the pics. Will probably fit one box or a pair of size 7 flexible shoes.
Mmmmmmm burritos. Best answer yet. Mine would be a good tank bag or any of the above answers from PLau. :thumbup:
Not scissors and even has racing stripes. Do it! :lmao:
Kuro... I do like that it costs nothing. The sauciness of my takeout would not endure though!
BuckWild... yes, now that you mention it I should start a thread about helmet hair! And... I didn't start any thread about getting my bike wet. Troll harder.
Awyala... true re: Givi's being theft deterrents.
Tank/tail bags it is.

What the hell kinda tank bags are you guys getting? Mine barely holds 6 and it was the biggest one I could find at Royal

That's because Royal has junk for bike luggage. I have a no name bag that cost $50 and is better than any name brand I have yet to see. I looked through a few catologues at a bike shop and ordered the best one for me.
Givi ftw, once you start using one, you completely forget about how hideously ugly it is.
PS, an E52 can hold a medium pizza without issue!
