My colleagues and I cut lunch costs with a simple meal swap

At our office, daily takeout was eating into our budgets. In my experience, organizing a weekly dish exchange where each person makes a big batch of something cheap has saved us a ton. Your mileage may vary, but what are your go-to budget dishes for feeding a group?

Sounds rough trying to coordinate that every week. Cooking for a group still costs more than just buying my own lunch.

Group meals bleed money, I see it every day in my kitchen lol.

Our taco Tuesday crew spent thirty bucks on cheese last month. That's just cheese. Then Dave always "forgets" his wallet and Sarah brings her new boyfriend who eats like a horse. My own lunch would be a five dollar sandwich eaten in beautiful, quiet peace.
