I’ve been pretty good the last month about being frugal in my spending habits. While I would love my pile of money to keep growing (me wants a new Mac Pro or enough to put a nice size down payment on a 2010 Rabbit TDI which should be coming out this fall) sadly I must spend these on my current car and medical bills. Awesome. About a $1000 bucks for new brakes and $700 for my 2 stints in physical therapy last year (why they waited till now to bill me for everything at once is beyond me…). So to survive the next couple months I’m trying something that I’ve though about doing before but always lacked the motivation to do, not eat out, cook all my food at home, and bring in lunch to work.
This is probably going to be hard for me since I’m kinda lazy, but it will save me a ton of money in eating expenses… well, probably. The problem with me going to the grocery store is that I always buy more than I really need and half of it ends up going to waste because I don’t feel like preparing it. However, making a sandwich to bring to work and including something like an apple with it only costs me a couple bucks while buying lunch at work usually costs me 5-8 bucks a day. Clearly a nice money saver, but then I either have to wake up earlier to make lunch or do it the night before. And as previously stated, I’m kinda lazy when it comes to food.
And so begins the great experiment to eat both healthier and cheaper. Hopefully this all works out well for me.
