For the last 2 months, I have been eating leftovers, soup, and sandwiches for lunch. Today, I went to Wendys and dropped $6 on a chicken sandwich (no mayo), fries, drink, and small frosty for desert. After not having fast food for 2 months, this tastes so good. However, by my calculations, I am saving at least $3 a day by not eating out. That means $15 a week which equates out to about $60 a month in savings.

Anyone else here try to save cash by not eating out? When you do eat out, how often do you do it? Once a week? Twice a week?

chicken sandwhich - $1
Med Fry - $1
Small Frosty - $1
Small Soda - $1

= $4

At Wendy's? I must say that I love the Frosty but they have a $1 sandwich now?

I go out to a restaurant about once a week, mabey twice. Fast food joint does not constitute a restaurant.

My company expenses my lunches every day.
We eat vietnamese, deli shops, once in a while PF Changs or Outback etc,

I used to eat out almost everyday during lunchtime. I would spend like $8-9 on average and usually go to a pizza place, Quizno's, McDonalds or something like that. Now, for the past few months, I go home for lunch. It is about 2.5 miles one way, so around 4-5 miles total trip. Not bad. It saves me money, or at least I'm hoping it does. I'm trying to penny pinch but it is very hard.

damn you people spend nothing eating out for lunch.

In a given month I probably coservatively speaking spend upwards of $300 - $400 a month on going out for lunch!

I`m not talking Burger King etc....
