lunch

In order to develop your budget, keep all of your receipts for a month or two. That way you can get a realistic sense of where you are in your current spending.

An Easy Start

When you go out for lunch, order water instead of drinks. Restaurants make a lot of money from the high markup on beverages. 2 Comments

If you go out with other people, consider splitting an entree. Serving sizes are often generous, so one order can go a long way. 0 Comments

Diving In

If you can, store some food at work, like snacks, frozen entrees and canned soup. Leave them at the office so you're not tempted to spend when you're hungry. 0 Comments

If you forget lunch, go to the supermarket instead of a restaurant or cafe. 0 Comments

Super Saver

Cook extra when you make dinner and freeze in individual containers. Take it out of the freezer the night before. 0 Comments

Have a lunch cooking party with friends. Make soups and entrees in bulk that you then freeze in individual containers. Have the party regularly, rotating it from home to home. 0 Comments
