Debate: pack your own lunch for work vs. hit the taco truck every day?

I used to brown bag it every shift and saved maybe $40 a week, but now I hit Pedro's taco truck outside the warehouse and spend $7 on two al pastor tacos that actually fill me up for the whole afternoon, so is the convenience worth the extra money or am I just being lazy with my budget?

Nah, $7 for two tacos ain't bad for a real lunch.

Victor's right on this one. If those tacos are actually decent quality and not some drive thru stuff, seven bucks is a steal. I hit up this local spot and drop eight for three that are still pretty small. Look at it this way, you pay that for a sad gas station sandwich that leaves you hungry an hour later. Those tacos fill you up and you actually feel like you ate something real. Plus you're supporting a local place instead of a big chain. No brainer really.
