I saved some money this week.

I carry my lunch every day to work. Usually, it is leftovers from some previous night’s dinner. We make up lunches from most dinners, then they go in the freezer to grab at a later date. So, I am never eating what I ate the night before. (Unless it was so delicious that I wanted it again.)

So, I am being good and saving some money by not buying lunch out every day, like many of my co-workers do. There are a lot of places to eat near my office, some pretty cheap, some pretty expensive. If I were to buy lunch everyday, is would cost me at least $5 a day. That would be for a sandwich and drinking water. That IS pretty cheap for eating out, but I save that $25/week, by bringing leftovers.

Lately, though I have still been bringing lunch, I have been stopping at Whataburger for breakfast!

And they DO make it just like I like it. But I was spending money unnecessarily.

I don’t know why I wasn’t just bringing breakfast, like I always have before. Buying once in a while is okay, but over the last few weeks, I was stopping 4 -5 days a week! Spending $3- $4 a day. I was almost totally blowing my lunch savings! What was I thinking????

So, this week, I brought my lunch everyday and saved that money. I can make breakfast food at home. I can make breakfast tacos. I can make biscuits. I was just being lazy. So, I am getting off the lazy train and will be bringing breakfast from now on. I am not spending the money when I can make it at home, healthier and more delicious than I can buy.
