Have you thought about packing a lunch?

Having to stretch out the paycheck between paydays? Looking for an easy way to save cash? Try packing a lunch! So many people eat out everyday when they’re at work. The average cost for this is between $5-10 a day. If you start bringing your lunch Monday thru Thursday (we’ll let you eat out on Friday), then you can save $20 to $40 a week. This adds up to $80 to $120 a month and $960 to $1,440 a year!

If you want to be real strict with yourself, then bring lunch on Fridays as well. Of course, the amount of money saved will be reduced a bit by the amount you spend to buy your lunch supplies. But compared to the amount you save, this is a really low amount.

So start thinking about what’s easy to make at home and what you like to eat. Then hit the grocery store this weekend and pick-up some supplies. Good luck and great eating!
