Can we talk about how I stopped buying lunch at work and saved $160 in a month?
Three years ago I was grabbing a $12 lunch near my office in Denver almost every day. Last month I finally did the math and realized I was burning $240 a month just on sandwiches and salads. So I started packing leftovers on Sundays, and by the end of the first month I had $160 still in my account. The trick was buying a $15 bento box that actually keeps things cold, so I don't hate eating what I brought. I also keep a jar of hot sauce at my desk because plain chicken gets old fast. Now I'm curious, what's your go-to cheap lunch that doesn't make you feel like you're missing out?
