Hi I work as a Business Analyst in NYC, before this I used to work in Queens. I am from Queens, most food is affordable and cheap. However, in downtown Manhattan, I find myself spending upwards to $10-12 just on lunch :\
My parents raised me to be scrupulous with money, no matter how much I make. I don't buy Starbucks even though I can afford it, I go with Dunkin donuts or even go with coffee inside my building!
Everything in downtown Manhattan is pretty expensive. My goal is to save for a trip to London or Paris etc. I am taking $25 out of every pay to add to a savings for the trip next year.
I am considering bringing my own lunch. I use to make turkey sandwiches but I got tired of that..
Any meal ideas that are good and affordable that I can take with me that would be great to eat?
I have a microwave and fridge in the office.
Thanks.
