Spent $14 a week on lunch for 3 years, then switched to batch cooking and now I'm saving $40 a week
I used to grab a sandwich and chips from the deli near my place in Portland every workday, and it added up to about $14 a day. That's $70 a week just for lunches. Three months ago I started cooking a big pot of chicken and rice on Sunday and packing it for the week, and now I spend about $30 total on lunch stuff. But here's the debate: some folks say the time spent cooking and cleaning is worth more than the savings, and others say saving $40 a week is a no-brainer. Which side are you on?

Cooking time shrinks once you learn a few big-batch recipes by heart, so the savings win.
