For years we had a company subsidized cafeteria at work, they might
have been right there. Who has that anymore, not too many people.
And if you work in a city, your sandwich is going to cost more, if
not you probably have to get in your car to go get something for lunch.
That alone adds up.

It makes no sense to say you won't save money by bringing your lunch.
Maybe they bring way fancier lunches than I would.
