    When I had that commute I would buy boxes of clifbars and power bars that permanently populated my glovebox. Trail mix in Adams peanut butter jars. Flavored oatmeal with raisins in old jam jars, just grab a cup of boiling water on your way out and pour it in. See also, instant mash potatoes, stuffing, ramen (adding boiling water to ramen and just waiting for it to be ready is the only way I like it now). That was the best idea I ever had before a multi day road trip, please use it.

    If anyone has ideas to add to that, I’m all ears. Or any other food-from-home non-shopping ideas (like eating potato salad with Tims salt and vinegar chips, bombdotcom)

      I’m not referring to my current situation. I’m adding context to their question.

      I’m fully aware that someone can put stuff like that in their car.

      However, when I was working in a factory til 11 pm, I don’t want cliff bars and peanut butter.

      I understand what you’re saying. Not everyone has those options, whether you want to believe it or not.

      People are a kaleidoscope. There is no single way to live or fix your problems. This is information I hope you too can use.

        I’m glad he not in this situation now and for sure, sometimes you just need protein and want something hot, I get it.

        When I was in that situation there were def days when I’d hit up Jack in box, with my very specific order, knowing 100% full well that I could do this once a week and not go into the red. I tried to avoid it, but sometimes the body wants what it wants.

        And absolutely, I wasn’t adding to offer an end all solution, nor do I think one exists, just to elucidate other options for either yourself, but mainly for posterity and those who potentially stumble upon this down the way

        I think we all might do well to assume our internetting will outlive us, which no one could really know and I doubt it will, but it might and I think pascals wager here might be prudent, but that’s just one of many takes im sure.

      From what I’ve seen, clif bars are more expensive than I’d like to frequently pay, and they’re not a very satisfying meal - probably not even so nutritious.
