Instead of pouring your money straight into the trash, try to make a conscious effort to only buy the food that you will actually use. When you are cooking a meal or serving up some food, try to put only the amount you will eat on your plate – you can refrigerate any left overs and use them for another meal!

Lean into cheap meals. Avoid meals that require pricier ingredients , and lean into budget-friendly meals. If I wanted to save money quickly, I could probably get that down to about $300 by focusing on cheap meals. Dining out, fast food drive-throughs, and Starbucks all have to stop. I encourage you to do this.

Airbnb is a fantastic option, especially if you want to cook some of your own meals, as most of them come stocked with the basics for cooking. A complimentary breakfast is the easiest way to spend zero dollars on one meal daily. I saved 25% on a cabin in Gatlinburg using a code our favorite rental company releases every July.

Paying for prepared meals is convenient and tasty, but it’s also more expensive and usually less healthy. Most restaurant-style meals are easy to prepare at home at a fraction of the cost, and you are able to control what ingredients are included. Most importantly, reduce food waste. And, be sure to eat your leftovers!
