I figure it costs me about $3 to $5 per day to bring my own lunch. It takes about 10 minutes in the morning to tear up the lettuce, etc. but I guess you have to be dedicated to it in order to do it every morning -- I brown bagged all through college and law school so I guess I am just used to it and never considered eating out regularly as an option. YMMV but there are plenty of low-cal/low-fat/not-so-bad-for-you alternatives to eating out every day that you can do on the cheap if you are willing to slum it at the company microwave.
Shall I launch into the benefits of food coupons and store-brands now????? :waggle:

Thanks for the response. THat doesnt acutally work out to be much cheaper than what I spend now. Also, I dont want any processed or packaged food bc I am a crunchy granola. Premade at wholefoods, yes. stuff with chemicals and preservatives, no.
Poverty sucks.
