What I do is get a special combination and split it with a co-worker... 2.50 a day.

Apple Butter is a good way to mix it up. Otherwise the Peanut Butter + honey/bananna is good (nuke PB + bananna + marshmello for extra goodness).

I ate PB&J every day for years. That's what my mom made me for lunch every day during elementary school and in middle school.

In a week at work, if I eat out it will usually run me about $6 a day. Sometimes I'll splurg and hit $10 or so, which isn't too smart. Here's a month breakdown:

$30 X 4 weeks = $120

Loaf of bread, PB and J for 4 weeks:

$12 + $3 + $3 = $18

Oh man, score!

PROFIT!

I'd mix it up with ramen, but the office is a tight spot to customize.

here's a re-work on the calculations:

Eating out: $30 X 4 weeks = $120

Loaf of bread, PB and J for 4 weeks:

$12 + $3 + $3 = $18

Box of ramen for a month:

$13-14?

Still profit? yes!

Do you add a raw egg to ramen? How long would you let it sit?

No freaking kidding. A CASE of ramen costs the same as a normal day's lunch for the OP.

I tried doing PbJ for a week, but I realized after the first day I was allergic to peanuts. Ah, the glory days of swollen lips and hives on my back....memories

I did. For a good 9 months or so, at school. I couldn't stand the rest of the school food, so I had pb+j for the whole year.


..Now I just don't eat at school.

8 if you take sandwiches with ONLY PB or ONLY J
16 if you try removing the crust on some of them....
32 if you do white and wheat bread....

I have some deli meat too, I may add that into the rotation a bit so I don't get sick of PB&J.

TwoMix - i usually eat 2 PB&Js, 1 isn't enough. I also bring an apple, peach or something else.
