$10/day for lunch x 240 working days is $2400. For someone on a high wage, that's nothing. It's certainly not make-or-break in terms of holidays. Plus you don't spend your own time preparing your own lunch, and you get to sample lots of different kinds of food (if you're in the right place).
Also, self-made lunch isn't free. It's cheaper, but it's not 100% cheaper. The difference isn't between $10 and $0, but between $10 and, say, $4. A lot cheaper, but it lowers the 'saved' amount (at the cost of adding in shopping + preparing labour)
- michaelt 9y ago$2400 a year is nothing? That's enough for two people to fly from Los Angeles to Paris, stay a week in a 4-star hotel, and fly back. Or to buy the highest spec Macbook Pro, every year, with change. In a year and a half, it's enough to buy a used BMW convertible.

- pjc50 9y agoYes, but what if I already have a BMW and don't have enough free holiday for the trip to Paris, but really want to relax for a bit rather than make my own lunch? Yes, buying lunch is a "luxury", but a small, daily one. Don't make me bring Orwell on food into this..
