One of the biggest ways I save money is by bringing my lunch to work. Usually it's either leftovers from the previous evening or a Lean Cuisine meal or something like that. I also bring my breakfast (a smoothie or yogurt and fruit) and my afternoon snack.
Just for example, when I eat at the cafeteria at work it looks like this:
Breakfast - Starbucks coffee, scrambled eggs, orange or banana = $5
Lunch - Usually something from the salad bar or the lunch of the day= $7
Afternoon snack - Fruit or something junky = $1
$13 a day multiplied by however many days I go in. I work at home a lot but there are times I go in to work 4 or 5 days.
Just going in 4 days multiplied by $13 - over $50.
Do that every week and it's easily over $200 a month.
Jack and I also try to curtail eating out. We got into a bad habit for a while of eating out 2 - 3 times a week and it was costing hundreds a month.
Just eat at home!! and SAVE!
