    I already do. And I work construction so we live on fastish food. Wasn’t easy to transition but I now bring my own thermos with a pot of coffee in it and a small snack or lunch everyday. I’ve saved probably over a thousand bucks this year already. And spent exactly 0 minutes waiting in drive-thrus which I’ve realized now I really really hated doing that.
