Every office has a cast of characters, but few are as unforgettable as the colleague who treats lunch not as a break but as a financial strategy. Forget $14 salads and overpriced poke bowls — one man has reduced his mid-day meal to three items and a principle.
The story hit the Frugal subreddit under the title, "My coworker eats the exact same $1.25 meal every day and I'm weirdly impressed." The poster explained: "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."
