[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if budget is a concern, the best thing you can do is meal prep, look for easy crock pot meals (you can prep them the night before - we are all busy in the morning). Look for quick meals you can throw together. Make twice what you need and save half for the second night. Make meals over the weekend and freeze some. Why buy takeout near work? That is going to be more expensive and cold by the time you get home - not to mention you have to carry it and the metro is going to be crowded. It is going to be miserable for the rest of us if folks all start bringing tons of food. [/quote] Make stuff on the weekend, lots of food with leftovers that can either be straight leftovers or repurposed during the week Ie if roasting a chicken, it’s barely any addtl work to roast two… now you have “rostisserie chicken” to toss on top a salad, make tacos, sandwiches, add to pasta, etc. I will make a tray of mac and cheese on Sunday and stick it in the fridge… just needs heating and some steamed broccoli. And don’t forget the good old BFD… scrambled eggs, toast, fruit. We eat BFD probably once/wk and nobody complains, and I’m not 100% in office either (lots of sports practices)[/quote]
