I’ve been trying to lose weight, and to that end, I’ve quit buying snack foods. I’ve also quit running by fast food restaurants. What this means is that I am stuck with the food that I have bought for the week, which largely eliminates those midnight runs to the fridge since there is no snack food!
I’ve found that this strategy has saved me quite a bit of money. I feed a family of three for about $100 a week, and we have a good diet with healthy foods. An added benefit besides weight loss has been that we now eat at the table much more often. My kids really enjoy this time, and enjoy helping to prepare meals and set the table. Who would have figured? It’s way better than the restaurants we were eating at so frequently, and I love the savings.
