So my new goal, starting on Sunday (because ahem my friend Aimee made me buy ice tea for $2.44 today) is to only spend $25.00 a week on food.Food is my vice and it's not nice. Tonight I looked over my bank statements and besides bills and more bills, most of my money goes to food.
Here is where I spend my money during the work week.
Cheese croissant and french press coffee (breakfast) = $ 4.15
$4.15 x 5 = $20.75 a week.
$20.75 X 4 = $83.00 a month.
Lunch gets even better.... (weekdays)
anywhere from $5.00 - $10 a day
$100 - $200 a month
Dinner during the week is much better because we tend to eat in and that saves us money.
Starting on Sunday (because we need to food shop)---I plan to only spend $25.00 on food/beverage a week. It will be difficult but with a little common sense and a lot of coupons, I think I can do it. AS a matter of fact, I know I can do it. I sometimes shop at Trader Joes and for $20.00 I can usually get a weeks worth of food and this includes poultry, veggies, milk and cereal. I just need to buckle down and eat breakfast at home, bring my lunch and keep making dinner at night.
P.S. I also eat out all the time on the weekends. Brunch, dinner both weekend days. Before the weekends over--- we spent $100.00 bucks on just food alone..
