People Who Eat the Same Meal Every Day

I often hear my co-workers complain about their bland green smoothies or salads without enough walnuts. Meanwhile, for lunch I prepare moroccan lamb stew, chicken cordon bleu with pasta, szechuan tofu and green bean stir fry, ham and gruyere with tomato soup, pear and blue cheese salad with rotisserie chicken, loaded sweet potato with curried fried cauliflour, and quiche lorraine, among others.

I'm not saying nobody should eat out, but to do it every day just seems wasteful. And I find cooking to be quite a bit more enriching than takeout.

They spend money, you spend time. Maybe they find your expense wasteful.

I spend time cooking for the family and then eat the leftovers for lunch. Just like a lot of swedes do. Make a dinner that works in the microwave for lunch and you are all set. No time wasted on going to the restaurant and waiting for food. More time to talk over the lunchtable in peace. Maybe even switching lunch with a coworker.

See I eat lunch out so I can use those leftovers for dinner the next day. Gives me and my girlfriend more time to spend together or on our hobbies if we only have to cook every other night.

This is what I do. I can cheap food every day for lunch for about $6 and longingly look at, but not purchase, nice food (like salmon) for $10-12. Or I can cook and bring my own nice food for $2-6. It's kind of a no-brainer.
