<prompt> Human: On this subreddit I constantly hear that eating out is the biggest waste of money. At my downtown work, its much easier to just get a full meal for about 5. Im honestly not super into the idea of packing a lunch.Is this really so bad in the grand scheme of things... Or should I start buying lunch meat and paper bags?Edit: I make about 30k. In a normal month Ill probably spend 100 eating out for lunches, and maybe another 150 on groceries. With my salary I usually have a few hundred dollars to spend as I please at the end of the month.  <response>: What are you getting for 5.00?And how much would it cost you to buy those same ingredients at the grocery store?
