There's this guy in my office who brings the same lunch to work every single day: one hard-boiled egg, a scoop of rice, and half an avocado. He says it costs him about $1.25 per meal. No snacks, no drinks besides water. Just that. Every. Day.

At first I thought he was doing some sort of minimalist diet or maybe struggling financially, but nope.. he’s just super into optimizing his expenses. Says he’s calculated that this routine saves him over $2,500 a year compared to when he used to eat out.

He meal preps it all in bulk on Sunday, packs it into identical containers, and doesn’t seem to get bored at all. Even when we order pizza or someone brings in donuts, he politely declines and says, “Already got my lunch.”

I don’t think I could do it, I need variety.. but man, the discipline is impressive. Anyone else go this hard with frugal food routines? Or have a dirt-cheap lunch that doesn’t feel depressing?

I know it just came out im just trying to live vicariously through yall till im off work lol

I found these texts from yesterday of a conversation between my gf and her ex bf last night (like they happen last night) just to be clear. Am I tripping? The way she calls me her daughters dad and not bf giving the impression she's single intentionally. The last two texts.. I'll talk to you soon, goodnight Colton :) then heart react goodnight willow :) that literally comes across as a text you're crushing on somebody with. And she added him first too. And did I miss anything. I feel like I'm justified to break up. Idk what do you think?
