I love eating out. Growing up, we eat out more than we ate in, at least, that’s how I remember it. As a result, I would always go out to eat for lunch. Last year, Amanda started making me a lunch most days. Its amazing how much one can spend on lunch each day. I found a nifty little calculator over at BankRate.com and, based on my guestaments, I’m guessing the Wife has saved us at least $700.00 so far. Go Wifey! 🙂 The longer I take lunch with me, of course, the more that will increase.
To arrive at my figures, I used the cost of $5.00 for lunch eating out, verses $2.00 taking it with me, for 1 year, with a 3% return on my money.
What do you guys think? Do you take lunch with you to work? Do you eat out? If $700.00 worth the time and effort the Wife puts into it? Do I have the best wife in the world?

I’ve been spoiled by marrying into your family. I really miss eating out! Thanks for thinking I’m awesome.
For the record, Mondays I usually don’t have a lunch made for dear hubby so he goes without. When I’m making sandwiches for kiddo on Monday, then I made extras for daddy too! The “trick” is to just make them up ahead of time at the same time. So easy, and so worth it!
For the record, some Mondays I go out to eat. 🙂
