Randomguy Posted July 16, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2020 ? Attended more webinars, and the hot incentive now is $25 ubereats vouchers. I got two in two days. I had good indian food for lunch, but $20 a day seems like a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2020 Seldom more that $10 and usually less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Popular Post Share #3 Posted July 16, 2020 It depends on how many craft beers I drink. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2020 Eating at home, $20 would buy a good lunch and a six of good craft beer; like that Flying Unicorn Crotch Kick double IPA. They also have an IPA called The Bitter X. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted July 16, 2020 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2020 Never that much. 10 is my top line for lunch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 16, 2020 Been known to do this, but not everyday, just when I eat late and don't plan on eating supper. Big shrimp cocktail and ice tea at Mexico Lindo + tip would take this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 16, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 16, 2020 When in the office, if is normally just leftovers from the night before. When I am on the road my lunch per diem is around $21 but I have not topped it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #10 Posted July 16, 2020 Everyday????? Heck no! Dude - learn to cook! Or to assemble sandwiches. Or find a lonely "powerlifter" to cook and assemble for you. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 16, 2020 Under $4 at the LGS by work...if we buy at a local place $10 to $15..not including a beverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #12 Posted July 16, 2020 Are you out of your fn mind? $20 is eat out lunch money for 2. Of course I'm not making allowances for the $20 New York City hot dog and soft drink. You had better be making more than 100K per year at those prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted July 16, 2020 Share #13 Posted July 16, 2020 Occasionally. I'm more likely to eat out at lunch than supper so I might splurge a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted July 16, 2020 Share #14 Posted July 16, 2020 no, since I am retired and eat leftovers at home. At times I have spent $10 to $15 for a decent breakfast stop on a group bike ride, but that is only twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted July 16, 2020 Share #15 Posted July 16, 2020 I've developed some bad habits due to cabin fever, working from home (even when cycling for fresh air)....am probably spending at least $5-10 per day. When I worked at building office, I would spend that 2-3 times per wk. I just didn't feel like going outside of my workplace to spend money.. I know. Wierd. And I had access to free coffee.

ChrisL Posted July 16, 2020 Share #16 Posted July 16, 2020 I generally pack lunch but on days I get lunch out it’s usually $10 to $15 but that’s usually because I’m hankering something good that costs more than a burrito at Del Taco plus tip.

Prophet Zacharia Posted July 16, 2020 Share #17 Posted July 16, 2020 No. For years I was able to keep it under $5 at the company cafeteria. But they increased prices, now it’s hard to keep it under $7 or $8. So I usually bring my lunch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #18 Posted July 16, 2020 About the only time I'm willing to spend $20 on lunch is when I'm planning on eating it two days in a row. Today was $7.00 for a 16 oz cup of gumbo i bought last night at the LSS and $2 for a 12 cup of cantaloupe I bought at the LGS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted July 16, 2020 Share #19 Posted July 16, 2020 I don't each lunch. Typical corporate clueless mindthink. Show how little they know about the recipient by giving them a voucher for something they don't do, altering their behavior and subsequent weight gain from the additional eating.

I'm betting the UberEats vouchers are good 24/7/365, so dinner or breakfast would be acceptable. FTR, RG eats six meals a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted July 16, 2020 Share #22 Posted July 16, 2020 When I'm in the office, lunch at the cafeteria would generally be between $5-10 depending on what you picked. $2.50 was about the minimum you could spend for lunch at the cafeteria. On the rare times we went out for lunch, $20 would probably be right for a restaurant, but you could get deli takeout for around $8-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #23 Posted July 16, 2020 I used to spend about $10 once or twice per week but now all lunches are brought from home, so more like $10/week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR46 Posted July 16, 2020 Share #25 Posted July 16, 2020 I will spend 20 bucks on lunch about 3x a year. Last time Wo46 and I went to lunch it was 13 dollars. That's probably why there's always a line at this place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #26 Posted July 16, 2020 I usually spend less than that a week on lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickinMD ★ Posted July 16, 2020 Share #27 Posted July 16, 2020 $20 bucks is a lot. The only time I was treated to that was when I served on a federal court jury and we were locked in a suite from 9-5 for 4 days while we argued the case and found the guy guilty. Each day, we were given a menu from a seafood restaurant with footlong lobster salad subs, etc. We didn't choose the Filet O Fish equivalents! When I retired in 2006, there were us teachers making mostly $50K - $75K and the custodians, warehouse workers, etc. making $30K or so. The teachers almost all bag-lunched it - you could often see what was for dinner at their houses the previous night. Most days we didn't have time to eat any other way except the occasional school cafeteria food - turkey and stuffing with mashed potatoes and green beans was excellent and cheap. The teachers also brought in their own soft drinks, had a group coffee pot in each department, etc. The warehouse, etc. folks tended to go out to McD's or a regular, inexpensive sit-down restaurant each day and often sent out for coffee to 7-11, etc. once or twice a day. They often bought the $1 or more soft drinks from vending machines. One day, one of the warehouse guys asked me how I could afford to go to China, Egypt, Holy Land, Aegean Cruise, France, etc. etc. on a teacher's salary. I told him I averaged about $2.50/day on lunch and he probably averaged about $9/day. Over 200 work days, that's a difference of $1300/year. I told time that if he bag-lunched it like I did, he and his wife could go on one of those trips he just mentioned every other year! He stared at me blankly and disbelievingly. Some people can't seem to grasp the fact that small, regular savings add up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted July 20, 2020 Share #29 Posted July 20, 2020 I had reheated kale and potato soup for lunch today! De-effing-licious!!!!! I'm guessing $10+ of ingredients, but can have several meals off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted July 20, 2020 Share #30 Posted July 20, 2020 Well, today was tikka masala that I brought from home. I'm sure there's a cost involved, but it didn't cost me anything today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
