Leaving work to grab lunch is a fun ritual…that really adds up! It may give you a nice break from the office and keep you sane, but it has a huge impact on your bank balance.

A recent VISA survey found that we spend an average of $11 when we grab a quick workday lunch. That’s $55 a week . . . and more than $2,500 a year. But the same survey found people who bring their lunch to work spend $6.30 a day. That would save $23.50 a week, and at least $1,100 a year.
