      Yes, you can save a bit of money and make something better at home, it may well be recommended.

      But, that $11 doesn’t cover just the ingredients. It covers the time and effort you spent planning groceries, getting the groceries, 15 min making the hoagie, and perhaps packing it and bringing it to where you are. Consider how much you think your current job should be paying you and apply it to that whole process. All of that is what you’re spending instead of the $11. And for a lot of people that’s time well spent for sure, but it’s still time and effort that’s worth more than most give credit.
