Expect a lot of the usual punching-down in response to this. “Carpool. Brown bag your lunch.” and so on.

How to save money when working in-person:

  1. Instead of buying lunch, just steal it.
  2. Dont go drinking with your coworkers. Day drink so you’re too drunk when you drive home.
  3. Make your own alcohol under your desk.
  4. Save money that you’ll be forced to spend at the tiddy bar by oogling Nancy, the 60 yo HR gal with the nice taa taas.
  5. Bike to work.

Excellent suggestions! Biking also gives you many opportunities to spot some road kill pizza for those moral-boosting pizza parties!

If you keep a plastic bottle under your desk you can save money by reusing last night’s alcohol.

Bike to work.

I love how this is framed as being just as silly as making alcohol under your desk. Our cities fucking suck.

I do love my bike commute, though. Saves me five dollars on bus fare and gets some exercise in. ❤️ also guilt free lunch.

Why is suggesting making your own lunch a “bad” thing though? I’ve been doing it for years to save money and eat better. Food is absolutely on “us” I would be eating whether I’m home or at work, but then again I’m a US born Stockholm syndrome slavelord that’s just used to the shit system we have here. Do other countries require their companies to pay for lunches?

What’s nice is that when you work from home, you have your whole kitchen at your disposal to make your lunch. As opposed to needing to plan ahead while wasting part of your day on a commute.

Suggesting it at an appropriate time or place is fine, such as a frugality community.

Suggesting it in response to the fact that working in an office is significantly more expensive compared to working from home is not appropriate.
