Sure money can be saved when you eat from cheaper places but one need to make sure it is nutritional meals

That might be hard though. Most of these eateries out there especially the cheap ones they tend to cook and sell for profits meaning they do not care about what if there is nutrients or not, they are after quantity not quality.

There is what we call "buka" in my country. Those are open or semi detached spaces where food are sold. They provide cheap alternatives to the expensive eateries.

Have you never worked in fast food? Even big chains like McDonalds have been caught not practicing proper hygiene, like not properly cleaning out the soft serve and shake machines.

And that's why they're always "broken".

That's simple for me, I just head for Taco Bell and order a Chipotle Chicken Taco for $2 and they give me a free Diet Baja Blast over ice with unlimited refills with it free.

Is the free soda something everyone can have, or is it a senior offer? Also, I wish my local Taco Bell still carried the Baja Blast Zero! They told me it was discontinued, but I'm not sure that's accurate. I think more likely there are supply issues and the folks at the counter just didn't know the difference.

When I am still working offline, I tend to bring my own lunchbox. It is cheaper and safer to have some meals for lunch. Besides, it is economical to have this option. Now, I am doing the same thing with our kids in the house. They do not need to buy meals at their school canteen.

Having to take your own lunch box ensures that you don't spend money on lunch while at work. That's the beautiful thing. But some people don't have that luxury of time to fix food in a lunchbox and might have to patronize bought food. I always prefer patronizing mobile food vendors than eateries for lunch because it is far cheaper.

I go to those small places to eat if I must eat out. Those state of the art eateries are what I do just once in a while. For everyday normal launch, I go to small places where $2 can feed me full.

It is good for those who don't know or don't like to cook

Eating in all those big eateries are just status symbols. Not like the food in small eateries are less tasty. So why would you do McDonalds and spend up to $10 for a plate oif meal.

The number one thing I always consider when I want to eat out is cost. If it's too expensive around there, I take biscuits and water to keep myself till I get home.

I have colleagues who do look for these eateries as they don't have time to cook

[Tinni]

The roadside food vendors are the ones I and my guys patronize if we want to eat out. They give us more food for a quarter of the price of food from the eateries.
