From roughly October 20th to today, dining out has cost me $361.37. $483.50 if you count ordering pizza at home. And that's not including three stops dining out while grocery shopping.
Very true. Even with the cost of buying quality lunchmeat and cheese, you're still ahead of a $6-9 meal for lunch. Frozen dinners are the same way. They vary from $1.50 to just under $4, and that's still a better price. Speaking of, I forgot to bring a frozen dinner for lunch, though I did bring a sandwich and a half for snacks. Looks like my snack will be my lunch :P (I get the hungries about three times a day while at work.)
