    i went to hardees today but, i still think im doing well with this goal. it isnt to stop eating out completely just not as much and i have cut down a lot!



    Untitled 23 months ago

    work was busy today so by the time i got to go on break the cafe was closed therefore i was forced to go out to eat. grr. that totally destroyed my goal.

    seriously i cant even fathom how much money i spend on food. FOOD- how lame is that, I could be spending my money on cool stuff. I have been doing good with this the last time i ate out was igloo last thursday. I just bring my own food with me and you know it really isnt that big of a pain. I did buy a cereal bar today at school i just remembered. It was only like 70 cents but still i need to work on this.



    You save so much money it's CRAZY. $3,192 A YEAR 2 years ago

    BEFORE YOU BEGIN READING THIS KEEP THIS IN MIND THIS IS THE CHEAPEST ROUTE I BELIEVE YOU CAN GO AND ONLY LUNCH AND DINNER NOT EVERONE EATS THREE MEALS A DAY.

    I don’t think people know how much money they can save if they stop going out to eat lets do some math:

    Lunch Menu

    Drink at least 2 dollars (not including alcohol) $2
    Meal at least 8 dollars ( some are more and some are less) $8
    Tip at least 2 dollar ( I am saying at least becuz even if the waiter sucks most people still give 2 dollars) $2

    TOTAL 12 BUCKS A DAY

    So thats 12 bucks a day 4 times a week that’s 48 bucks a week that’s $192 a month

    NOT MUCH CHANGES FOR THE COST OF THE DINNER MENU BUT IT WILL ADD UP

    Dinner Menu

    Drink at least 2 dollars (not including alcohol) $2
    Meal at least 10 dollars ( some are more and some are less) $10
    Tip at least 3 dollar ( I am saying at least becuz even if the waiter sucks most people still give 2 dollars) $2

    TOTAL 14 BUCKS A DAY

    So that is 14 dollars at the least which lets just say you go out to eat 4 times a week .

    That’s 56 dollars a week

    That’s $224 a month

    NOW THAT’S 416 BUCKS A MONTH I BET YOU COULD SPEND 100 AT THE MOST 150 AT THE STORE AND GET A MONTH OFF FOOD

    NOW 266 DOLLARS YOU JUST SAVED YOU COULD PUT IN YOUR IRA

    WHICH IS $3,192 DOLLARS A YEAR
