Reduced Eating Out
When we first moved to the villages we got caught up eating out almost everyday. Whether it was lunch or dinner or both. It is so easy to do around here. When I added it up we were spending $400 and over a month eating out. I went back to cooking and coupons. The savings makes cooking at home worth it. What I do is what I've always done that is I spend about an hour and a half during the week going on websites and looking at various stores and their coupons. I then formulate menus on what's on sale that week. I have been learning to cook various dishes from other cultures which has led me to incorporating two vegetarian dishes a week. I know this isn't for everyone but it does work for us and the savings have allowed me to more freedom in donations and upgrading our home.
