I hate to admit it, but I go out to eat wayyyy too much. It’s honestly my biggest expense, besides housing. I just don’t feel like I have the time to cook all my meals, and who wouldn’t rather have a real burger than some kind of hamburger helper? The problem is, eating out every day is way more expensive (and way more unhealthy) than buying your own ingredients and cooking. So, if you want to stop going out to eat, either for your bank account or for your health, check out this post by Missy Rakes at Graceful Little Honeybee for tips:
-Create a weekly menu plan/ shopping list, and stick to it
-Keep nutritious snacks in the car/at work to avoid impulsive drive thru decisions.
-Do some freezer cooking. Taking a few hours a month to prepare home cooked meals for the freezer is a great way to save money and avoid eating out on busy nights
