Work is slinging me $50 to expense on lunch tomorrow.
What should I get? I'm usually such a tight arse I only know the cheap things.

lol exactly what I was going to write
Sashimi I would go for
That's pretty good!
Eat crap now pay later, good concept.
$50 worth of KFC. Should feed you for a week.
If only the $10 nugget deal was on. You could have a decent nugget fight with that amount.
Maccas Monopoly is back. Get work to pay for the stickers and obesity.
By week do you mean 1 meal and a snack for later.
If kfc Go for make your own bucket deals if it's for 6-8 people, if a lot more than 8 people, I'll say you need to buy Costco chickens.
You like getting Botox too?
Love it
2 minute noodles.
Now the real question..
Work is slinging me $49 tomorrow. What should I buy?
I'm assuming it is an expense claim, needing a receipt to show to your work?
An eatery place that you can get a $50 Gift card? then use the remaining for future :)
A selection of takeway curries. Then freeze them all for later.
3-4 pizzas. Enjoy hot, cold, reheated.
50 bucks barely feeds 1 person on uber eats these days.
the food plus all of the extra service fees……..
This is what I do not understand about Uber Eats. The cost of laziness must be huge!
You're (general, not you personally @Ade99) paying someone (admittedly under minimum wage) to stop what they are doing, go and get something and then bring it to you, plus factor in costs for transport, plus Uber [not yet making a profit] (https://qz.com/1693843/uber-eats-will-lose-money-until-at-le…) but taking a cut… And in that time, it's likely to be cold unless you are within a 5 minute walk from the place, in which case, remind me why you're getting someone else to do this???
What are you eating? I've made borderline banquets on that app that were well under 50!
Buy something on uber eats. When it invariably arrives cold, you complain to Uber. Immediate refund. But before you do that you print out your tax invoice. Gold!
Then when you get gastro and then subsequent paralysis due to Guillain-Barre from eating the cold food, you sue the restaurant but only after asking on OzB.
Next minute you're contributing concessional super catch-up amounts and you're set for life. Buy high-yield investment vehicle and retire.
You forgot the MSPaint diagram of your vomitus emeticus
@MSPaint
The most expensive cut of steak you can get at Woolies or a butcher. Like the dry aged steaks or Aussie wagyu ones. Won't be as good as Japanese wagyu, but it'll be cheaper.
Actually this is a pretty good idea too!
If you do go ahead and do this, remember; only use salt and pepper to season the steaks. You don't want to ruin the natural flavours of the steak by adding sauces, marinades, etc.
Oh I would be reverse searing or potentially cracking out the sous vide.
only use salt and pepper to season the steaks.
bit of garlic powder as well would not go astray. SPG is a pretty decent mix to apply to a steak.
Good quality dry rub on a thick reverse seared steak would also go down well.
@SBOB: man, downvoted for recommending a salt, pepper, garlic rub for beef.
What has this crazy world come to..
Pitmasters around the world must be wrong :)and if you're going to sous vide even Guga would agree its a worthy addition ;)
Run and ask your mother for advice as given your dilemma I would suggest she is the most informed person to answer.
She dead
Then ask some other adult that has a bit of commonsense
Yeh she died in a fire when I was 7.
Not really, she's 70 something and doing fine, but welcome to Ozbargain where the cost to post a thread is free and so is making a comment.
Anyway, I'm slightly concerned you might be a knob.. maybe take a walk tomorrow or do some breathing exercises or something and so on.
@Niko123456: If we're only going to get 5 negs per day for people like Ocker, we should be able to give 10x upvotes to responses like this.
I like the sushi/sashimi suggestion. Also consider just getting whatever you feel like plus drinks and sides.
A place that sells alcohol.
Thai food. Easy to spend $50. 2 mains, a soup and some spring rolls should do it.
Lucky you. We get $25 p/p. Drinks included. Not more than 1 dish ( toastie + dessert for example not allowed ), no alcohol.
I mean it's one banana cameldownunder, what could it cost, $10?
I wanted a banana and a bag of peanuts, They said no, only 1 !
6 schooners
Or shout a homeless person a sick meal
$50 per meal?
Pick up any food app and 75% of that is gone in a blink, then there is maybe a little leftover for a bottle of soda/coke or something if you're lucky.What's your fav food? Italian? Jap? Chinese? whatever? grab something from a nearby local that's open!
stop using apps and takeaways to cut costs actually buy the ingredients and cook at home?
Hahahah.
Wait, why is this a reply to my post only?!?! Lol
5 Large Zinger Boxes
A nice steak.
$15 on lunch and another $30 on stuff that freezes well.
Whole BBQ rib, mac and cheese.
Full packer brisket. Smoke it for 18 hours.
Where are you getting a full packer brisket for $50?
:/from a cow
for under $50?
a full packer is what, starting around 5kg?not sure where you're sourcing decent brisket cuts for $10/kg.
Maybe costco could get close
Just a tip on expensing, you can’t claim groceries. So all the tips here saying buy a cut of steak or Ramen noodles (as good as they are) won’t work.
The expense something it needs to be ready to consume food. Any delivery service will fit the bill, you’ll need to check your app to see what they can deliver to you. I would suggest things like Asian takeaway as they usually reheat pretty well.
Still be the TA…. and pocket the rest
If it was me, I would identify a local restaurant that needed supporting, buy $20 worth of lunch and tip them $30. Pick up, don't get it delivered, the delivery services do not need support as much at the local businesses do
Just order a bunch of Chinese food, what you don't eat goes in the fridge. Easy.
Spend $20 on lunch and stick the other $30 on a multi.
Get the 18 Pcs Fried chicken from Red Rooster around $50.. best crispy chicken I have had in a while. I personally found it better than KFC but that's just my opinion.
Sushi platter from a well regarded place.
