My coworker bragged about spending $14 a day on lunch and I did the math on what that costs in a year
We were eating in the break room on Tuesday and this guy Dave starts going on about how he just grabs whatever he wants at the deli near our office because cooking is too much work. I did the math in my head while he talked, and $14 a day at 5 days a week is $70, which comes out to about $3,640 a year. That is basically a used car or a decent vacation and he is just eating turkey clubs with it. I didn't say anything to him but now I keep thinking about how easy it would be to just make a sandwich the night before. Does anyone here actually meal prep on Sundays and does it really hold up by Friday?
Fourteen bucks a day on lunch just blows my mind. That is almost seventy a week for deli sandwiches when a loaf of bread and some turkey at the store costs like eight bucks total. I used to grab food out every day too and when I finally added it up I felt sick, all that money gone and I had nothing to show for it. The part that gets me is he is bragging about it like it is a flex. For real though, prepping on Sunday works but by Thursday the bread gets soggy so keep the wet stuff separate.
