Anytime there is a potluck in my office, there are a half dozen people running to the grocery store deli right before it starts.
Fried chicken
Macaroni and Cheese
Cole Slaw
Pasta Salad
Hummus
Plus we offer a cash buy in option and one of the organizers will run to the deli for you.
OR ... There has got to be at least one person in your office who loves to cook. Go to that person, explain your situation and ask if there is any way they would be willing to make an extra dish if you paid for the ingredients. Fork over $10-$15 and be done with it.
I actually own multiple crock pots and do this for officemates fairly regularly.
