Take it down a notch and call it 2.5 meals a week for $150/year. 115 cents a meal. Food as a loss-leader does lead to funny math in a few other situations. Consider getting a $10 pizza at Costco every other week (which may be conservative or extreme depending on your lifestyle). You'd break even on an _executive_ membership over the course of a year, assuming the price of an equivalent pizza is ~$15 elsewhere.
