Here's one travel tip that won't save you any time or money. How do we know? U/garaks_tailor tested it out, so you can learn from their mistakes.

The OP's story takes place while they were traveling for work. Many places will offer their workers a per diem while traveling. That way, they can grab a bite to eat for each meal without spending a small fortune. However, not every company gives their employees a lot of money for the task. The OP's company only gave them a little bit of money, and after getting tired of eating at the same few chain restaurants, the OP switched to handmade sandwiches.

They say that you can save money if you bring your own food while traveling. I've never tested this method, because it requires you to leave space in your bag for something other than clothes and food. If you're able to do that, you're better than me. This person somehow fit seven pounds of peanut butter into their bag! That's a serious commitment to their eating plan. Even if the OP was traveling for a month, they'd have to eat PB&Js 24/7 to use up the whole jar.

Up next, this person was upset that their job was starting layoffs, so they stopped doing a few crucial job duties—like clearing up snow.
