If I don't plan ahead and brown-bag it, I will usually end up eating
two meals out (lunch and dinner) each day I work at a customer's site
(which could be as many as three times a week). This adds up to
a pretty unacceptable level of expense, even if I mostly enjoy
the places I end up dining; so I try to limit it (with only
partial success).
