Need lunch ideas

[Duncan]

i don't mind eating leftovers in general as long as it's not like 10 day old leftovers...

leftovers are good because it's cheaper than going out for food... 5 days a week x 50 working weeks = 250 working days... if you spend $10/day for lunch then that's $2500 you spend on lunch... for some people that's 5% of their yearly income...

get a george foreman grill

lunch now consists of a 10-14oz sirloin + italian sausage for about 5 bucks total.

[Duncan]

yea, but that lunch also sounds like a 45 minute trip to constipation/hems land...

it sucks more when there are days (like today) that you need to eat lunch AND dinner at work.
and people wonder why i skip so many meals... (actually that's not the reason at all lol).

duncan's math only works if you only have 2 weeks off.. and if you go to work everyday...

[supersuk]

or you could use dez's method.

get really skinny and have no muscle so you eat less to support your lack of muscles, save money

I guess the only way to really save on food money for work lunch is to eat leftovers everyday. Even if you make sandwiches (which I also detest) for lunch, the cost of making a sandwich is not much less than going out for lunch.

You eat meat and mayo sandwiches? I can't handle a sandwich with just meat and mayo.

[nature boy]

oh yeah, and cheese, which is like $4 for 8 slices or something? not sure.

buy bulk from costco... saves you a ton of money.. just make sure you eat it all or else it goes bad and there goes the money saving aspect...

[nature boy]

actually, i think we have a bunch of bread from costco for some strange reason.
i didn't buy it.

Cheese is $2 for a regular pack at wallmart in the states. Bought some here a stupidstore for $8 the other day.

[nature boy]

brand makes a difference.
and type of cheese does too.

When I make a sandwich, I have meat, cheese, lettuce, bread and mayo.

Loaf of bread $3
Cheese $6
Lettuce $1.50
Meat $6 ($2 meat is kinda gross)

With tax it's almost $20. That's $4 per day for lunch.
When I go out for lunch, I spend maybe $6-7. Occassionally $10 if I feel like splurging on good food.

I only save a couple bucks a day by making sandwiches... I know savings is a savings, but I'm willing to spend the extra $2 so I don't crazy being trapped at work. I guess I could do meat and mayo sandwiches to be really thrifty... but then I'd be like Nathan and go hungry pretty soon after eating the sandwich.

the $2 meat is freshly cut garic roasted beef at superstore. it's awesome. just 100g of it though, that's good for two sandwiches (my sandwich containers don't fit double-decker sandwiches).
