Oh for sure. I work a salaried position and they keep laying people off and throwing their work on the rest of us so i’m working 12 hours a day on the reg. No lunches are required by law where I am so any time i save there is time i get to spend with my family later in the day. It’s also literally around the corner from me so that isn’t part of my accounting.

I’m lucky enough to make a wage now that allows me to actually view convenience cost as something I can manage so for the sake of my mental health it feels worth it to me. This isn’t like an every day thing but if i need to get lunch or dinner for whatever reason it’s def worth it in my situation. A year ago it was a different story lol Definitely dependent on people’s situations like most expenses.
