Eww I am bad, $5 here, $5 there

August 9th, 2006 at 01:48 am

I decided to buy Lunch on Monday. I did not feel like making myself something so I ate in the Cafeteria.

My GOAL is to keep track of EVERY Penny going in and going out...like Bills and Misc Items and this week I am just like whatever. EWW BAD ME. Frown

I need to figure out when all my Bills are going to come out my Checking Account so I can figure out how to prioritize the rest.

    What worked best for me was I budget myself $40 CASH a week for eating out and incidentals. When the $40 is gone, I stop spending. i don't write down everything I spent it on. Just make sure I don't go over my alloted $40. Oh yeah, I start my week on Sundays, so I get a new $40 every Sunday. Makes eating out early in the week possible.

    Your post reminded me that I need to buy some Lean Cuisine's to have to take to work on those days when I don't feel like making a lunch.

    I buy a large bag of bagels that I store in the freezer. I stick one in a (reused) ziploc bag whenever I don't have leftovers. A few bucks can pay for two weeks worth of lunches that way. Granted, it's not exactly gourmet, but vary the bagel flavors, bring a jar of peanut butter or jam, and it's a decent meal.
