Saving money & Meal Planning



Soooo..... Ive been planning my meals to save money on buying fast food....and so far so good! I work a couple of jobs during the week & go to school so grabbing something quick & easy was ideal, but it was hurting my pockets. I believe its nearly impossible not to purchase fast food at all, with a hectic schedule like mine....but purchasing food multiple times a day was ridiculous. Every week I start my week off by meal planning meals for the first few days of the week....For example

Monday: Breakfast: at home

                                             Lunch: off-site lunch with team-purchase

       Dinner: at home

Tuesday: Breakfast at home

Lunch: bring from home

Dinner: At home

Wednesday: Breakfast at home

Lunch: Purchase

Dinner: at home

On the days that I have to purchase food, I always search for the most in-expensive way to eat. Here are some ways that help me...

 coupons (KC Star sunday's paper), dollar menus, microwaveable lean Cuisine meals, subway's $5 sandwich, HY-Vee salad bar

I hope this helps!
