Yearly cost to eat out is surprising By Amanda FrankMonster Contributing Writer I’m what you would call frugally motivated. As a working single parent I have to manage my expenses on a tight budget. I’ve learned to look at food as a necessity not a luxury. Since mastering this ideology I’ve managed to close the big black hole where my money used to get sucked into. It was relatively easy to adapt. I was already taking the time to pack a lunch for my son. I just had to pick up some extra groceries to have on hand. These days I’m making my own food 95% of the time. I’m eating fresh quality food that’s prepared healthy and tailored to my tastes. For a little extra effort I eat much better than my colleagues that opt to buy lunches. And at the end of the month my costs are negligible compared to theirs. Have you looked at your lunch habits lately? Are you eating take-out every day because you don’t see the value in ‘green bagging’ your own lunch from home? Consider a more health conscious and economical alternative. Given the benefits, it seems like backward logic to say it’s too much work to pack a lunch. Food is supposed to sustain us, not the other way around. Why go to work to earn money and then shovel more of it than you need to back into your work expenses? You have nothing to show for it, maybe some extra weight you put on eating at countless restaurants, take out counters and food courts in a single fiscal year. Spending too much money on food is technically akin to flushing it. Read the simulated calculation of what you spend in a year ? it’s a pretty penny ? and maybe you’ll reevaluate how much of your hard earned money should be going towards lunch. Homemade Sandwich = COST PER DAY $2.25, COST PER WEEK $11.25 Approximate Cost breakdown: Your choice of meats or fillers, I’ve calculated for tuna OR turkeyCanned tuna $2 using ¾ can costs $1.50Turkey costs $4.99/lb, if you use 150 grams per sandwich that gives you enough for 3 sandwiches and each costs $1.66Your choice of toppings, here’s my sample selectionLettuce head with 15 leaves is $1.29 each leaf costs you $0.08Tomato $1.29/lb 1 small tomato is 3.25 ounces or $0.2620 slices in a loaf of bread that costs $3.29, you need 2 per sandwich. Your cost is $0.33Homemade Soup = COST PER DAY $0.63, COST PER WEEK $3.16 Approximate Cost breakdown: 8 servings of soup contain roughly the amount of vegetables listed below. Substitute according to taste or what’s available in your fridge to make it even more cost effective. For $5.05 you have a week’s worth of soup and then some.Broccoli $0.99Mushrooms $1.4910 carrots per 2 lb bag costs $2 using 3 will cost $0.6010 stalks of celery cost $2 using 3 will cost you $0.6012 onions per 5 lb bag costs $3 each costs $0.2512 potatoes per 5 lb bag costs $3 each costs $0.25Garlic pack of 3 heads $0.99 so half a head is $0.16350 grams of premium vegetable or chicken stock is $6 (gives you 25 tbsp) using 3 tbsp per soup yields 8 soups, each costs $0.72Homemade soup and sandwich COMBO = COST PER DAY $2.88, AVERAGE COST PER WEEK $14.41 Drink & Snacks from Home = COST PER DAY $1.17, AVERAGE COST PER WEEK $5.85Juice Box = $0.33Huge and juicy red delicious apple at $0.99/lb costs $0.59Pudding $0.99 for a pack of 4 or $0.25 per unitHomemade Soup, sandwich COMBO WITH drink & snacks = COST PER DAY $4.05, AVERAGE COST PER WEEK: $20.26 TAKE OUT OR RESTAURANT LUNCH = COST PER DAY $8-$18, AVERAGE COST PER WEEK $58Cost breakdown: Let’s say you’re conservative 2-3 days a week and only spend $5-7, then spend $11 and $15 not including beverage or snacks. $43 per week. Add one drink & snack at $3 per day, which is $15 per week bringing your weekly lunch total to $58Quiznos or Subways best deals are $5Deli counter sandwich $5-$7Thai Express $11Sit down restaurant lunch special (including tip) $15The Yearly Outlook (based on 49 weeks worth of lunches) Home Packed “Green Bag” Lunch only - cost per year is $706Lunch plus one drink & snacks - cost per year is $993 Store Bought Lunch only - cost per year is $2107Lunch plus one drink & snack - cost per year is $2842 Yearly Salary Savings = $1114 - $1849You will save somewhere in the vicinity of one to two vacations in Cuba. Or for the more conservative amongst us, you can use that saved money to contribute to your RRSP or pay down some credit card debt or student loan. Besides all the new found cash, you also get the satisfaction when you smugly crunch on your juicy apple knowing that you've made a smart choice for yourself. Small changes like this one can help you feel more balanced. And balance leads to happiness.

回复: ZT：看看一年我们吃掉多少中饭钱？刚刚吃了午饭， 鸡肉色拉+卡普奇诺，12.05刀。 看来商家都算好的， 购买午餐都这个价格。 在纽约，不管是麦当劳，星巴克， 还是别的店， 午餐花费都差不多。我是看到自己重了9磅，赶紧减肥。还要运动。

回复: ZT：看看一年我们吃掉多少中饭钱？午饭基本只吃生西兰花或者生芹菜蘸sauce，加上sauce的成本也就2.5刀最多了。Cappu和Latte也是一定喝，而且每天还不止一大杯，但是公司的咖啡机免费喝，所以就省了。

不过慑于著名垃圾食品的威名,我一周可以控制在一到两次.评论
回复: ZT：看看一年我们吃掉多少中饭钱？这到提醒了我， 一年4*5*49=980刀的中餐咖啡钱。 我可以去买个咖啡机，喝现磨的意大利咖啡。以后中餐只要色拉。将减肥进行到底。

回复: ZT：看看一年我们吃掉多少中饭钱？我去了东京， 香港和中国老家。 估计是在老家吃胖的， 所以才一下上来9磅。老家，我们自己养鸡，而且是走地鸡，所以鸡蛋，鸡肉是市场上没有的买的那种。菜也是自己种的。而且三餐紧密，早上7点左右大吃一顿，到11点多是中餐， 到下午5点多6点是晚餐。就这样吃肥了。

回复: ZT：看看一年我们吃掉多少中饭钱？看了老外的餐单就没胃口。天天不是吞那鱼就是火鸡肉三文治。汤永远是个蔬菜汤。她不厌吗？原来老外的蒜，也是按头来算的。去美国出差一个月，跟着老外去吃午餐。TAKE OUT最便宜的PIZZA加汤，三块多。当时看错了，以外一片PIZZA五块多，原来是一个五块多。其余坐下来吃的，FOOD COURT是6-10，餐厅加上小费15-25。有一半时间是自己带饭。四个同事一起煮，一周买菜钱只要七十几块。不过这七十几没包米和调味品。自己煮真是便宜好多，就是太累了。天天煮。最好的办法还是一半自带一半出去吃。在国内基本上是出去吃，中午和同事吃饭是social time。而且也不贵，平均下来一顿17块。
