eat out less

Last month I spent $103 eating out, this month I spent $98 (although about $40 was spent on a special occasional meal at the beginning of the month). So technically I’ve eaten out on less occasions, but I’m still spending around the same amount.

I did, however, spend half as much on groceries, so I think I’m buying smarter.

Goal for May is to spend no more than $150 on groceries and $50 on restaurants.

I give myself a 75% for last week. I didn’t technically pay for my food when I ate out, but I did do me creative re-arranging of funds so that my sister bought my pizza instead of me. Shooting for a better week.

I should also ammend this goal to add: I will not feed my roomates. I like cooking, and end up making all sorts of homemade goodies that my roomies end up eating. Yesterday I made apple cake, and this morning it’s gone.

Let’s just see if I can manage to do this for one week.
