I am in sales and...You're saving more than $5/day. I am in sales and on the road a lot. I do not go to an office so I don't have a fridge or microwave for "brown bag" lunches. I have many "working lunches" which significantly helps my budget, but there are many days I have to buy my own lunch. (I tried a cooler/packing lunches but it didn't work for the long term...lots of reasons and I'll spare you that story.) Anyhoo...you just can't buy lunch for $5...even at fast food joints. And you can't eat fast food that much anyways (or I can't). I have found the cheapest and most satisfying lunches out are the soup/salad combos...you can usually get that for about $7+tip...so about $9/lunch. And for comparison's sake...Chick fil-a is almost $7/meal. I think it rocks you take your lunch...and I just wanted to let you know $5/day is too conservative if you're eating out everyday or most days...you're saving at least $7-8/day...and many days my lunch is $10 b/c I just can't handle fast food. So from someone who buys lunch regularly...your tip is worth almost $50/week. :)Milissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986484484324086968noreply@blogger.com
