Showerthought: I used to think quick meals cost more... until I added up my takeout receipts

I was always the person who swore meal prepping saved money, but I kept buying deli sandwiches and gas station snacks for lunch at work. One day I actually added up 2 weeks of those random $8 to $12 grabs and it came to $187. Then I tried just buying a rotisserie chicken and bagged salad from the grocery store for $14 total and ate on it for 4 days. Has anyone else had that moment where the 'cheap' option was actually draining your wallet?

Did you actually save time with the chicken and salad prep or just money?

Saves time too, just eat half the chicken while you chop the salad.
