[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to bring lunch at least three times a week. [b]Going out on the other days is a reward[/b].

I'm a pretty good cook, and I've had too many terrible $10 restaurant salads to tell myself that's easier. Bringing lunch is good for our bank accounts and for fitness. [b]Also, it makes me feel like I can eat whatever I want on the days I do go out. [/b][/quote]

We pack our lunches, not because we can't afford to (DINKs, 340ish HHI), but because it's good for our waistlines.  Not to mention, sometimes you just don't want to spend time picking up food when you can go for a walk during the lunch break instead.  Then on the weekends, we feel like we can splurge on whatever we want, within reason of course.  It's also nice not to drop minimum $12/weekdayday on food ($24 for each of us) = $540/month.  That's dinner at a really nice restaurant once a month.  I would gladly stick to my home-cooked food for a month.  I'm not counting the lunch meetings that DH sometimes has with his colleagues or teammates, which may happen once every two weeks or so. [/quote]
