BUT
It is also the place that can nickle, dime and dollar you into the poor house. I will use myself as an example... Right across the parking lot where I work is Panera Bread. Now I don't want to say anything bad about them because I really do like their food. An iced tea there cost about $2 (not adding in the tax). At least once a day a co-worker comes up and says they are making a Panera run would I like anything. If I ordered an Iced Tea once a day that would end up at $10 (once again not including tax) a week or $520 dollars a year. Now I don't know about you but I can find alot of better things to do with $520 then spend it on tea. So I brought my own stuff to work.

| Making Iced Tea At Work |
1 Coffee Mug ------ Free (yep didn't even pay for the mug)
1 old Panera cup with straw --$2 at the original purchase free to reuse
1 Box Green Tea ---- about $.08 a bag depending on the brand you chose.
So for the first cup of work made tea $2.08 for every cup after that $.08.
At 52 weeks it costs me 6.16 for a cup of tea at work every day for a total savings of 513.84.
This works for anything you chose to buy at work whether it is that candy bar from the snack machine or your lunch.

It really does pay to bring or make your own snacks and lunches at work rather than to always go or order out for these things.
Yep it does. Thanks for stopping by Meandu
Great idea. I always take my own food and drink to work. Food near work is always expensive.
Thanks Ratty Food is expensive everywhere around here in long island lol
resto food is expensive anywhere:-) so this is a great idea!
