Like most of us you may be in a quandary… We like to eat out, but we also want to SAVE money. If saving money is important to you, then regular restaurant meals will have to go! Restaurants are the biggest roadblock to frugality. Yes, food IS a necessity, but expensive food is NOT. Planning ahead is the greatest weapon against last minute meals on the road. If you can cut down on eating out, the money you save can boost your emergency savings account, and help you pay down debt. If you spend most of you time outside your home. Remember to pack a lunch or snack, eat a meal before you go out, and if you must eat out try to use coupons, discount days, or menu items that don’t break the bank.
