I was thinking this mornign of doing an actual price analysis.

Fast food VS lunch brought from home.

Either way, I bring my drinks from home.

Drink: 25-35 cents
2 Dollar menu Items
~$3.00

Heres the hard part. The only competitor I think for that cheap, would be sandwiches, and maybe a few things we havent mentioned yet. I'm not exactly sure they'd be cheaper.

Sandwiches:
Bread
Cheese
Meat
Lettuce
Mayo
Mustard

How to break that down on a per sandwich basis is almost impossible. Not to mention, there will be some waste. Even if i was to pack my lunch every day, there'd be mornings where I woke late, or was too lazy or tired of sandwiches.

Every article I've read, always says take your lunch to work, and you'll save tons of money. Leftovers I can see, cause you already have them. But buying stuff just for lunches, I think would end costing me more, than just eating out cheaply.
