A typical week of cheap work lunches for me might include: - 2 lb chicken breast = $4 - 1 lb white rice = $1.00 - 2 lb canned black beans = $2 - 2 bags of frozen vegetables = $3 That's a decent amount of food, pretty healthy, and only takes about 30-45 minutes to cook and portion out. So, ok, it's $2 a meal instead of "a tenth of $10" - but it's still a significant savings.
