That's a false dichotomy; outlays per employee depend on the benefits each employee draws.

That said, dudul's comment on this thread indicate why this often is not (financially speaking) an option.

All the more reason to negotiate for the thing that you care about (that my W-2 box 5 says $200K at the end of a full year) and not whether you'd get more because you skip a given benefit or less because we notice that you really hit those Friday donuts pretty hard.

IMO, it's more productive to negotiate for what than for why.
