A few years back I worked with a couple who stopped at Dunkin Donuts
every morning on the way in to get (to-go) Dunkin Donuts cups of coffee.
When I pointed out they can buy Dunkin Donuts brand coffee (beans or
ground) at the grocery store she said, "It's not the same!" Uh, okay.

Not everyone is interested in cooking, I get that. When I lived in TN I
knew lots of people went out to lunch every day. These same (younger)
people would complain about not having any money, just waiting for
payday. Meanwhile, I brought in a homemade hot lunch every day. I've
been making (and taking to work) homemade freezer meals all my adult
life. Not to say I never went out to eat, of course I did. It just
wasn't a way of life for me.
