I like to eat in the office if I can, because it saves me money. Outside food would cost me 7 to 13 bucks. Typically, I'll eat a hot dog and bun or instant cup noodle. That cost me about a buck. The Complete Meal will cost twice that but it's a lot cheaper than my other options. I'll probably think the potatoes are just fine. I don't get a chance to eat potatoes very often so yeah, I'll think they're OK.

I usually take leftovers, but I keep a few frozen entrees in the freezer
for times I don't bring a lunch. Eating out can easily be $200 a month.
In addition, I enjoy the company of one or two of my co-workers.
We've been eating together for many years.
