Over their 30 years of marriage, I bet you could count on two hands how many times my dad has gone to work without a lunch packed for him by my mom. I remember growing up that she would always pack the leftovers from the night before and have his lunch box on the counter ready to go for him each morning.
Naturally, this is something that stuck with me and is probably one of the simplest money saving tips I could give.
When you go out to eat for lunch how much do you spend? $8? $10? $12? That can start adding up over time. Not only is it much cheaper to bring your lunch, but I’d bet most of the time you end up making better food choices as well.
