I paid $12 for lunch at a McDonalds last weekend. I can get a better meal in a subshop for $7!

I just bring in leftovers from home, and nuke them in the office microwave. Even cheaper.

On road-trips, I often just bring a cooler with cold cuts, yoghurt, and drinks. The fast food in highway rest areas are generally high-price and low-quality.

Best way to go even if you have to buy some inflated $5 bags of ice now and then to keep it cold . . .

As an added bonus, you don't have to deal with lines and nimrods in the fast food joints.
