...has come to a close. After 8 consecutive work days of spending <$3/day on lunch, today I spent $4.59 at a Jamba Juice right next to where I got my haircut. I tried one of their new flavors, which is supposed to have "1/3 fewer calories". While waiting for it to be finished, I checked out their book with the nutritional information. 440 calories vs the typical 700-ish for a regular one, with 53g of sugar vs 90-ish. They're sweetened with Splenda, apparently, and I would guess that the rest of the sugar (or at least most of it) is naturally produced by the fruit.
So anyway, that's the end of the cheap lunches. Average price over the 8 days was $1.64.
