Wednesday: Stir-fry. $9.65.
Thursday: Didn’t pack a lunch because I was planning to meet a colleague. She bailed, so I headed to the cafeteria. (No stir-fry, too pricey.) $4.88.
Friday: Woke up late. No time to fix a sandwich. $7.04.
Monday: Packed a sandwich and two string cheeses for snack! $0.
Tuesday: Packed a lunch again! $0.
Wednesday: Getting a free lunch at a media event today. $0.
TOTAL: $21.57
So far, so good this week. I’m doing better with breakfast as
well. Waking up early enough to eat breakfast and make a lunch just
isn’t going to happen. The next best thing: stashing a box of
granola bars at my desk to eat when I get to work. No more bagel
buying for me. I’m saving money and eating better. Talk about a
win-win.
How is everyone doing? Write in and let me know if you
succeeded with your money goal last week.
