remember, though, that these articles are geared more towards people who are currently spending $5-10 per day on lunch out versus $3 per day. personally, i don't find $3 per day that aggregious.

somethig i do as a compromise is buying a footlong sub or some other large sandwich out for lunch one day and eat half today, half tomorrow. that works out to be close to the $3 per day price point, and i wind up eating more 'expensive' meats, cheeses, and veggies than i could buy and make on a sandwich myself.
