[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you claiming 1-3k. Have you actually sat down and calculated lunches, coffees, take out, etc.

I always thought that we spent somewhere in the 5k range annually until one year I decided to save ALL of my receipts.[/quote]

Yes, we use Quicken to track expenses.  We cook and eat at home and bring in lunches from home, DH drinks tea that we brew at home too.  I brew my coffee at home.  [/quote]

I always feel sorry for people bringing lunches from home every single day.  And not because they are poor, it's because I perceive them as being cheap, boring and inflexible. [/quote]

Bizarre.  I don't bring lunch from home everyday but when I do it is usually much better, much more varied and much healthier than what I would buy nearby.  So next time that I sit at my desk and eat my grilled tilapia taco with mango salsa or caramelized onion shrimp cous cous (leftovers I've cooked from scratch and bought from home), I'll remember that I'm perceived as "cheap, boring and inflexible".  I'll remember that in particular as I see you sitting there eating your sandwich from Cosi or your burrito from Chipotle.[/quote]
