Work-from-home rates peaked nearly six years ago, but many workers continue remote or hybrid arrangements. In-person lunches impose a substantial daily cost in urban areas, averaging $23.60 per meal and about $5,664 yearly for daily purchasers. Hybrid workers tend to spend more per in-office day, buying extra coffees, pricier meals, and treats. Fast food averages $11.56 per meal, totaling about $2,774.40 annually. Packing lunch from home averages $5.50 per meal and represents the cheapest option. Quick frozen lunches can reduce prep time while keeping costs low.
"A study by Blogic Systems found that an average office lunch is about $23.60 in major urban areas-well above typical minimum hourly wage regardless of where in the U.S. you live. This number is for a "daily diner," defined as someone purchasing lunch daily at the office. At that rate, you would end up spending about $5,664 yearly if you opt for popular choices like grain bowls and salads."
"You might think, "Oh but I'm only in office three days a week, surely I'd only be spending three-fifths of that on my lunches!" Wouldn't that be nice? But life is pain. The daily cost actually tends to be higher for hybrid workers who, due to being on-site less often, tend to treat in-office days a little more socially, and typically purchase extra coffees, pricier meals, and, of course, little treats."
