Eating Out 5x a Week? Do the Math

Let's say you're reasonable. Not fancy restaurants — just lunch out, a few dinners, the usual Austin week.

The weekly damage

  • 5 lunches out: $60 to $75
  • 3 dinners out or delivered: $45 to $75
  • Coffee and snacks: $20

Total: $125 to $170 a week. On food you didn't choose carefully and can't track.

The yearly damage

$6,500 to $8,800. A used car. A vacation. Gone, one $14 lunch at a time.

What $105 gets you instead

Ten meals. Lunches and dinners, Monday through Friday, handled. High protein, cooked fresh, delivered. That's $10.50 a meal — and you know exactly what's in it.

You're not overspending because you're reckless. You're overspending because there's no system. Get a system.
