    I did this once. It worked well, still talk to most of those people from time to time since ive left that job.

    My issue was the near daily expectation of going out for lunch. Like who’s made of money like that? Not going for lunch allows me to save like $100 a week now.

      This may be a local thing but grabbing something you can eat on the move and taking a walk with your coworkers is a good alternative to eating out every time.

        Sounds like some downtown urbanized thing. I moved to the suburbs in Ontario and you have to drive.

        You are right though, some areas this could work but it still would he close yo $20 a day

        That’s fine once in a while, but in general, please do try to sit down somewhere and eat without distractions if you can, especially if you already have weight issues. You will feel satiated sooner and are not as prone to overeating.
