Home cooking, easily
Going out, not so easy.

I assume she goes there because she has no wish to prepare food before work?

i have neither the wish
nor the time nor the energy. plus i am very fickle and it is guaranteed that whatever i brought in i would not fancy by 1pm. and i often end up missing lunch altogether and then it sits in the fridge for days.

Aye, I thought as much, I'm often the same
Just before christmas, I was going to head to the shop to buy some Branston Pickle, so I could make ham, cheese and pickle toasties.

I was putting my coat on, looking forward to my sandwiches, when someone announced they were off to McDonalds, did I fancy anything? I'd been looking forward to those toasties all day, but the instant an alternative was offered, I took it.

Makes lunches very expensive when that happens.

I'm the same, but I live right on top of 24 supermarkets, so I only plan meals when I want too, rather than have too.
I don't think it's that much cheaper to make your own lunch, by the time you've bought some nice bread/meats/cheeses and stuff.

I can make a £10 lasagne last for about 5 meals
But with cheap cheese, ham, and bread, I can make a perfectly edible toastie for a week for about £6.

It's half and half though, the toasties get dull quickly, the lasagne doesn't.

But the ham doesn't last a week once you've opened the packet.
I guess I could make a nice pasta bake/lasagne for about a tenner, but I'd rather spend £15-20 and get everything I like in it, and it would last about 5 meals too. But I really don't like having the same meal twice in a row.

The stuff I buy, long as you keep it wrapped, will stay fine

Nah, convert it to pennies and use a funnel.
