For many years, I was buying lunch each day. Although I could bring my own lunches to work, I wanted to go out to eat just so I could get out of the office for 30 minutes or so. It was more about the break from my co-workers and my work, than it was about the food though. I need to go for a ride for a bit, clear my mind and have a smoke or two, then come back refreshed. At one of my last jobs though, they actually had a whole food court within the building so we didn't really need to leave at all. In addition, several food trucks would park outside each day too. It is a huge waste of money though. I used to be much better about this, and just bring some Lean Cuisine lunches, or Lean Pockets to work each day - and saved a lot more cash. But then as I started making more money I started blowing more money.
